How to Handle Large Moving Inventories in Your Business Relocation

Got a Large Moving Inventory?

Does your business depend on your workers knowing where things are at a moment’s notice? Every moving mistake you make can cost money you can’t afford to lose. The good news is at least you have an inventory. Simply not taking a moving inventory is one of the most common errors in office moves. If you haven’t actually done this — do it now.

Why Take a Moving Inventory?

Relocation often becomes a necessity for businesses as they grow or change. While you know the business move is the right decision, the process of getting it all done can be chaotic, to say the least. Here are some common challenges:

• Multiple departments may be packing inconsistently: Different departments might have different packing standards, leading to disorganization.

• A looming deadline puts pressure on many employees: Tight schedules can cause stress and lead to mistakes.

• The business moving process distracts from the company’s ordinary operations: Employees may be less productive as they focus on the move.

• Significant downtime looks more and more likely: The more disorganized the move, the longer it will take to get back to normal operations.

When you’ve taken a reliable moving inventory, you’ll be much better prepared to ensure your move is a success on the other end and get people back to work as soon as possible. But that's still only half the story.

A Smoother Business Move with Professional Movers

Make your life easier by working with professional movers. You’ll be able to outsource a lot of the moving work to people who already know what they’re doing rather than trying to figure it out yourself.

• They’ll help you take stock of what you have and what needs to move: Professionals can efficiently catalog all items, ensuring nothing is missed.

• They’ll even be able to weigh in on what to do with the things you don’t want to take with you: Professional movers can advise on disposal or donation of unwanted items.

• With a well-produced inventory and a box labeling procedure, they’ll be able to place the items exactly where they need to be in the new location: This means that when your employees come in on the first day, they’ll have everything where they need it to be — rather than having to dig through boxes that may have ended up on the other side of the building or, worse, lost in transit.
