Today’s society is fast and demanding. Savvy consumers expect to evaluate and decide between competing products and services within minutes, rather than hours or days. The moving industry is no different. The constant pressure to drive up shipment volume while maintaining capacity continues year after year. The rise in real estate sales, a steady job market, and substantial driver shortages have produced increased move volumes compared to recent years, further straining capacity.

As an industry, we have fallen short in describing the basic laws of the moving market to our customers. Those customers are therefore frequently unaware of important factors like blackout dates and extended delivery spreads. Short on time and patience, customers enter the moving market expecting “NOW” solutions. Our industry must align itself with this “NOW” consumer expectation level. “Solution Selling” is now “Solution Services”. Large online retailers have created solid product and service offers to attract a huge customer base. Having a rotation of solutions keeps suppliers competitive and in an excellent position for increased market share as companies such as Walmart and Amazon has adopted and expanded. The same holds true for the moving industry. Properly equipping with an inventory of transportation solutions allows moving companies to service customers in alignment with their needs and not limited to capacity restraints. Meeting customer needs timely drive growth and market share and is based on a combination platform of flexibility and response.
