Moving Tips and Articles
Any experienced commercial mover will emphasize the importance of meticulous planning for a successful office move. However, there are instances where extensive planning may not be feasible or leads to overcomplicating a move. Office moves often require short notice, agility and quick thinking.
Mobilize your team swiftly. Bring together your department heads for an immediate discussion on logistics. Determine who can transition to remote work and establish timelines for restoring servers and systems. Soliciting input from all stakeholders will mitigate the risk of costly errors.
Promptly assess archives and storage needs, opting to move only what is essential. Remember, the most economical move is the one you avoid. Consult your moving and storage partner regarding options for recycling, archiving, and transitioning to digital storage solutions.
Establish clear communication channels for clients or customers during the move. Notify them of the relocation and provide updated contact information promptly. Assess the need for updated stationery, business cards, and ensure that your website and online business listings reflect the new address and contact details accurately.
Ensure that everyone, from utility providers to delivery services and business partners, is aware of the new office location and updated contact information. Extend this communication effort to include staff members on vacation, parental leave, or disability, ensuring seamless accessibility during the transition.
Commercial relocations impose significant strain on both your team and your moving partner. Opting for budget options may lead to unforeseen complications. Prioritize experience and capacity when selecting a moving partner; you'll likely need more than anticipated. Incorporate excess capacity into your moving day plans and consider short-term emergency storage options to mitigate any unexpected challenges.
