Logistics News: Logistics - Shipping - Packaging

The vault is locked and shipped via Smart Move’s logistics partner, Overnite Transportation Co, a 70 year old, listed company, (NASDAQ: OVNT), and leader in the LTL industry, provides safe, secure, and timely delivery of these containers anywhere in the USA. The customer has the option of either self-loading all or a portion of their goods, or the customer can have a full service move. To move an average 2,000 sq.foot home 4 to 5 vaults would be required. The savings as compared to traditional movers prices are up to 30%.

How it works: Smart Move delivers the containers to the consumer. Once the containers are loaded, the customer places “their lock” on the container. When Smart Move picks up the full container, a security seal is also placed on the container. The containers are then moved to the new destination of the customer, across town, or across the country. For city-to-city moves, the customers’ goods are placed inside a truck trailer and sent to their new destination. The move is tracked with both barcode and GPS tracking technology. The customers’ goods are safe, never lost, and delivered with their lock and security seal in place, every time.

Chris Sapyta, company president, states that, “Smart Move provides an innovative solution to an old industry, with GPS tracked and locked containers, and service to all major metro and surrounding areas”. “Smart Move is less expensive than traditional movers with more time flexibility”. “People can actually take their time loading and unloading household goods at their convenience and store them at the origin or destination.” Sapyta adds, “What a comfort to not have to move your entire house in a couple of days, our customers control their own move”.

Smart Move is the first moving company to give the customer control of their own move.

A Smart Move L.L.C. was formed in October 2004, financed mainly by Denver based venture capital. Denver based investment banking firm, Bathgate Capital Partners LLC, raised in excess of $3.7 million dollars in seed capital to fund Smart Move. Many local investment bankers participated in this venture and are soon planning another round of financing to continue to help Smart Move meet its goal of being operational in 65 cities across the USA before the end of the year.
