Manage a company move it is no small matter, first of all from an economic point of view. Alongside the budget needed to pay for packaging, movers, machinery and transport, it is in fact necessary to calculate the lost revenue linked to the stop in production. If for an activity focused on the tertiary sector a stop of this kind may not have so much impact (the work is now carried out in smart working without major repercussions) it is clear that the same move of an industrial warehouse or a craft workshop or a machining center risks causing a significant economic loss. So how can you reduce costs and save money when moving? What solutions and precautions can be taken to reduce expenses? In this article we find out effective savings strategies for any type of business.
1) TAKE ADVANTAGE OF THE SUMMER OR WINTER CLOSURES
If your company, as is normal, closes its doors in the summer or winter for Christmas, the ideal conditions are created to optimize the timing of the move. In fact, our company works all year round, without interruptions, and this means being available even when the activities are stopped (typically in the week of August 15th and at the turn of the new year). Take advantage of these closures to move photocopiers, machinery, shelves, warehouses and various equipment and you will avoid losing precious days.
2) CONSIDER THE RENTAL OF AERIAL PLATFORMS AND VANS
Doesn’t the hypothesis of managing all or part of your move scare you? Then you can save money thanks to equipment rental, a service also offered by our company for those who prefer do-it-yourself removals. With vans and aerial platforms operated by our qualified operators, you can cut costs and tackle the work on your own time and with your men. This option is valid, for example, for those who have their company within two or more offices and can personally take care of the transfer of everything needed in the new office.
3) SAVE WITH THE COLLECTION AND SALE OF FURNITURE
Do you want to seize the opportunity and get rid of some furniture in view of the move? Nothing simpler, this can also be a great way to save money. We offer our customers collection and sale of furniture, from armchairs to office desks, from tables to wardrobes, from work chairs to bathroom furniture. The evaluation of our experts doesn’t cost you anything but it could help you save twice: when you sell the furnishings and when you don’t have to transport them to the new location!
4) OPTS FOR GROUPAGE (MOVING IN COMBINATION)
The removals in combination represent a valid alternative for those who are not in a hurry and are looking for an economic service. It is a method of moving that provides for the sharing of spaces, and therefore of the truck or container in the case of international removals. The quality is unchanged, you just need to have a little more patience while waiting for other entrepreneurs or professionals or individuals to come forward, expressing similar moving needs to the same destination. At that point, the move is organized at rates that are sometimes reduced by 50% due to the shared and optimized space.
5) REQUEST YOUR ONLINE QUOTE WITHOUT COMMITMENT
The last tip to save money on your move is to request a no-obligation online quote. Thanks to the web, everyone has the opportunity to compare several estimates and decide the most convenient one also on the basis of the proposed conditions. In this regard, we must not forget insurance, a critical point because it is often limited to the compulsory carrier policy only. If there’s one thing that doesn’t make sense to save on, it’s insurance, which should be as complete as possible to include the civil liability policy. Exactly what is stipulated in our contracts!
