If you're looking to move all of your stuff from your business into a new location, it's definitely worth checking out certain features to make sure nothing gets lost during a truck move. Finding the best companies for keeping all of your stuff where you want it will come down to new technologies and specific features. That's why it's worth the extra time to make sure that the company you choose has these features.

Insurance

A way to make sure that a moving company is going to carefully watch all of your stuff is if you buy insurance from them. Some movers have the option for you to buy this from them if you want. Alternatively, you can get another insurance company to cover this type of insurance. Some homeowner's insurance might extend this far, depending on the situation.

This way, the company is properly motivated to make sure that your items make it to their destination. These companies will also tend to be the ones that put in extra effort when it comes to providing you with technological and logistical solutions for making sure that you keep on top of where your items are.

GPS Tracking

One important feature to look for when you're shopping for a good moving company is one that can handle GPS tracking. This way, you can be sure that your items arrive at their destination because you'll be able to actually track the items as they move from A to B. In addition, many of these systems have automatic checkpoints that cause warnings when they aren't set off.

So, for example, if the company tags all items that you want moved with a GPS or RFID marker, then if any of the items don't get put onto the truck that's being used to move them, the company will be alerted to this immediately. Many also have apps that allow you to track this as well. This means that you'll know exactly where every item you have is located at all times.

And even more than being able to track each item actively, you can get alerts if something doesn't show up at any step during the process. So, for example, if it doesn't show up on the truck, if it isn't present during the transportation process (including transference to any other vehicles), or if it doesn't arrive at its destination, you can set it up so that you'll be alerted.
