As the CEO of a large company, there are times when you are going to have to transfer your personnel from one location to another. As these moves are considered a required part of the job, you cannot expect your employees to cover the costs of these moves. This does not mean that you should let them hire anyone they want and then present you with the bill. Instead, you should contract with a commercial relocation service to do the job.
A commercial relocation service will provide a team of professional movers and all of the equipment they are going to need to pack and move your employees or your entire staff to their new homes anywhere in the country. Doing things this way will save your company money while ensuring that your employees have a safe move and have nothing to worry about except getting started at their new location.
Posted in Uncategorized | Tagged Commercial Relocation Service, Office Moving CRN | Leave a commentIt does not matter if you are talking about household or commercial moving, you will find that they both call for their own set of special skills. When you look at household moving, it generally requires little more than knowing how to pack boxes and move them. On the other hand moving a commercial business requires far more skills to ensure that everything is properly disassembled and packaged for the move to avoid what could potentially be millions of dollars’ worth of damage.
You will also find that most household movers have little if any idea of what it takes to handle commercial moving. On the other hand you will find that there are some that offer commercial moving as a separate division that is staffed by properly trained personnel who have the knowledge, the skill and the equipment to get the job done. We can help you find the commercial moving company to fit your needs.
Posted in Uncategorized | Tagged Commercial Moving, Office Moving CRN | Leave a commentI have been in the moving industry now since 1998 and we have had some significant changes.
I remember when I first started learning to estimate household goods moves. My instructor would say that the labor it takes to load 12,000 pounds today is the same as it was 50 years ago, no make that 100 years ago. That logic is pretty hard to argue with. The household goods side of our industry does stay fairly static and I think that might be why I have focused my career on the commercial side of our business.
The commercial side is different. We don’t have pricing tariffs or care how much weight the total shipment is; we get to deal with constant change and that is what makes it challenging. Otherwise I probably would have found something else to do long ago.
In the commercial or office and warehouse moving side of the business I have the ability to be the general contractor of a move. I work with clients, building managers, multiple vendors that deal with a variety of services but what I have been focused on lately is what might be on the horizon and I would suggest that maybe a few of you have as well.
What will the future of office moving look like? Will companies maintain the same amount of office space and then therefore one could ask if they will maintain the same amount of furniture. Will companies continue to increase the virtual work space or will they find that efficiency and water cooler talk are too important to maintaining company culture.
What technology is going to impact our industry? I don’t think that someone is going to invent the flying moving truck in my lifetime but crates have certainly changed our industry. Mobile technology is changing the way we do proposals and I would think that there will be an iPad application in the next year that will make pricing a move easier and faster. I would also foresee an iPad application that the crew will take as the bill of lading that they can have the customer sign, and of course that will automatically generate an email to the client with that document. What about radio frequency technology? Will RFI allow us to track all furniture moved, keep up with our equipment, and help control cost or will we waste labor hours learning how to use a cumbersome system for what are predecessors would have used pen and paper and done just fine.
Our raw materials are our personnel. How we shape, mold and manage our raw materials determines how viable we will be in the market.
To me it is always fun to take a step back and imagine what will be and then push to make it happen.

Posted in Uncategorized | Tagged Office Moving Companies, Office Moving CRN | Leave a commentIf you are thinking about moving your office into a new building, there is one huge mistake you cannot afford to make. This would be trying to talk your office staff into doing the work instead of hiring a professional office moving company to do the work. If the only reason you are doing this is to save money, you are likely to find that it will turn out to be far more costly than hiring the pros.
While the expenses you may have to deal with might be no more than damaged equipment, (although this can still be significant) or they can be as high as seeing one or more of your employees getting injured moving the office equipment. You need to take into consideration how expensive it is going to be when you have to pay the medical bills and then their wages while they are laid up and cannot work.
