As technology enters every domain of our lives, the moving and packing too is benefitting from it.
Challenges like unfair pricing, damage of items, defacement of furniture or fragile objects, items unaccounted for during transit, unprofessional behaviour of packing and moving teams, lack of real-time update during long-route transit and glitches while tracking, plague the mover during shifting.
One way to tackle all these issues in a single go is to choose an aggregator for the relocation purpose, instead of going for a standalone mover and packer.
