10 Ways The Removalists Industry Is Being Transformed By Technology
August 21, 2023 by in Removals Industry News

Every occupation and industry sector you can name will have been influenced by technology in recent years, which certainly applies to the removalist sector. Moving home or relocating an office might seem to some as just a process where everything is packed into a van and transported, and whilst that still forms part of what removalists do, everything done before, during, and after that happens has, is, or will change due to technological advances.

Here are ten ways technology is transforming the removalists industry to give you a clearer picture of what we mean.

Virtual (VR) Surveys/Tours

Virtual reality technology can be used in two main ways relating to a house or office move. First, the current property can be surveyed using virtual reality giving the removalists a fuller idea of what will be moved. Second, a virtual reality tour of the new property allows the client to plan the layout and thus specify which room each item is to be placed in.

Virtual Assistants/Chatbots

To aid with customer service and answer many questions from clients quicker and more efficiently, and it has to be said, at a lower cost than hiring customer service centre staff, removalists can use virtual assistants. Read More

7 Ways To Minimise Downtime When Your Business Moves To A New Location
August 21, 2023 by in Office Relocations

One of the questions removalists get asked a lot by businesses whenever they are hired for an office relocation is, "How do we minimize downtime?". This is an understandable concern for a company given that its entire office staff and facilities will be moving, and whilst that is occurring, its operations will inevitably be disrupted.

The answers given by removalists will differ depending on the type of business involved, the specifics of the move, the distance between locations, and the types of equipment being moved. However, some general principles should be followed and from them, here are seven ways businesses can minimize downtime when moving their office's location.

Start Planning As Soon As Possible

To minimize downtime, you should start planning for your office relocation immediately after the decision to move has been made, even if you have not yet chosen the new location. The earlier you start planning and making contingencies, the greater the chance there is a smooth and uneventful move that will go a long way to reducing downtime.

Employ Professional Removalists

After the new location has been agreed upon, start looking for removalists as early as possible. Checking their credentials, such as reviews, will point you in the right direction towards a professional, reliable office removalist company. Read More

How To Ensure You Lift With Care During Your House Move

How To Ensure You Lift With Care During Your House Move
August 5, 2023 by in House Moving Tips

Whilst hiring removalists to help and facilitate your home move will mean many of the tasks are taken out of your hands, it does not mean that you, and possibly your family, will have nothing to do. In the buildup to your moving day, there will be numerous so-called administrative tasks, such as switching utility companies and arranging broadband for your new home.

There are also likely to be many physical activities, and we want to focus on these here, especially those involving lifting. Although on the day, almost all the lifting required will be done by your removalists, you and those living with you may have to lift several items before that moving day.

Examples of this will be carrying boxes when they are fully packed, moving items around so they do not block walkways within your home, and also, if you are disassembling any items such as furniture, those individual parts, some of which might be heavy, will need to be stored safely within your home. You might be able to think of other examples, which leads us to conclude that lifting will be a part of your preparations for moving home.

As such, it is imperative that you, and anyone else doing the lifting, know how to do so safely so the risk of injuries, such as pulled muscles, strained ligaments, and, worst of all, a slipped disc in the back, are eliminated. Read More
