Are you moving your Atlanta business to a new location? Although this can be an exciting undertaking, commercial moves come with many additional aspects to organize and stay on top of.
ALS Van Lines has been executing office relocations since we opened our doors back in 1994. Our three decades in business have seen many successful commercial moves, a BBB-accreditation, and ProMover status with the ATA Moving and Storage Conference.
When our valued customers ask us about how to successfully relocate their Atlanta business, the following are some of our best tips!
Begin Planning Early
Commercial moves can take much longer than a standard residential move, sometimes close to a full year from beginning to end. Because there are so many additional and specialized items to check off your office relocation to-do list, getting an early jump is crucial.
This will allow you ample time for important tasks such as:
- Call Around to Multiple Atlanta Moving Companies
- Update Your Address on Business Cards
- Inform All Employees and Vendors About the Move
- Develop a Timeline
Hire a Move Coordinator
It can be extremely beneficial for any Atlanta company to keep a sole point of contact for logistical reasons while planning a business relocation. You'll still have day-to-day operations to run, after all, so letting someone else take the reigns on the relocation project could save you a world of worry.
When you work with ALS Van Lines, we'll assign a move coordinator to each relocation we work on, so that all questions can be directed to one place, and all aspects of the move are being overseen by the same individual for a smooth and streamlined process.
Be Thorough with Labeling
One way to save yourself a world of time once all your items are in your new location is to have labeled everything beforehand. This means the contents of each box are written on the outside, but some items should be labeled individually as well. For example, labeling your computer cords and printer cords correctly will prevent mixups and confusion when unpacking everything.
Prioritize Your Plan for Technology
Speak with your IT department about the best way to get your business's online presence up and running at your new location as soon as possible. This can sometimes be a tricky and tedious part of the relocation process, so prioritizing it and getting organized will greatly reduce any headaches.
Because of our affiliation with Arpin International Transit, ALS Van Lines can handle some of these items for our customers if they don't have their own IT department. We can handle the transport and re-set up items like:
- Computers
- Peripherals
- Servers
After three decades in business, countless successful office relocations, and many 5-star customer reviews, ALS Van Lines is the Atlanta moving and storage company to call when your business needs to upgrade to a new location.
