A Crisis-proof Moving Company

The moving industry had to deal with a lot of restrictions due to Covid-19 over the past few months. This made it harder to conduct a survey or even to schedule a move. As a likely consequence, we saw demand and usage of moving company software, such as video surveying and online estimation tools increase exponentially. Many of us experienced the benefits of these applications as they save valuable time and, allow you to conduct a survey without physical contact.

The future of moving

Living in a world where most of our daily tasks are digitalized has its benefits.

As technology proves to be beneficial for our personal lives it is then interesting to see what technology can do for the moving industry. In this article Axios discusses the future of moving and the moving industry. Think of ‘Uber for movers’ and social media platforms that could help optimize the customer experience when scheduling a move for example. Read all about it here.
