Corporate relocation companies pack, load, transport, and deliver organisational belongings. This may be for a quick, local relocation, or for a major international move. In today’s article, we take a look at what to expect.
Delivery
The first stage is all of the packing, which is usually carried out by professional packers. This ensures that the boxes are the correct weights, and that everything is labelled and inventoried. Depending upon the size of the relocation, a team of two or more individuals with specialist equipment will then load the items into the vehicles. Depending upon factors such as how long the loading has taken, delivery may need to happen the next day. If this is the case, the professional team will remain with the boxes overnight.
National And Local Relocations
Although this does depend upon the size of the removal, most national and local corporate relocations are seamless, same-day affairs. The relocation company will deliver the belongings immediately, and unload them into the correct rooms. Professional movers will work with you to ensure that the most important items are the most accessible, and that rooms and hallways are easy to move through. For national and local relocations, the same team carries out the packing, loading, delivery, and unloading, so there is a high level of understanding about the items and their positions.
Unpacking
As with professional packing, professional unpacking is available. This can reduce stress while speeding up the process. Most people find the job of unpacking emotionally and physically exhausting, with the complexity about deciding what should go where adding an extra layer of energy-drain. For professional unpackers in a corporate relocation company, this is their daily work, so they infuse the process with efficiency, practicality, and experience. If a company plans to handle the unpacking alone, it is a good idea to break the job down into smaller, manageable, goal-driven tasks with realistic timeframes.
Tracking
Tracking has now become central to the relocation paradigm. At Galleon, we use a secure system called MyMove, which is accessible with a unique password. This is linked to our logistics fleet, allowing you to follow your items on their journey. This tracking can reduce anxiety regarding security but is also very helpful for organising employees to be in the right place at the right time. Tracking is essential in international relocations as it offers complete transparency regarding locations and timescales.
Storage
It is often the case that some or all items may need to go into storage. This is particularly common in temporary relocations. Equally, putting items into storage may simply be a way of securing assets for future use. Storage is available on a short-term or long-term basis. If you require reliable, safe storage solutions, this is something that your national relocation company can help you with.
