Digital technology and artificial intelligence are having an impact on many life areas, leaving questions regarding the potential impact this may have on the process of moving home.
Managing a house move is complex, with many moving parts to keep track of. There are many project management systems available for laptops, smartphones and tablets that monitor action lists and the timing of when things happen. These apps are useful for many things, such as listing inventories of what needs packing and keeping contact information of everyone involved in the move including solicitors, surveyors and removals services.
Removal companies will often have digital management systems that track moving jobs, inventory, vehicle status and personnel. However, most of these systems don’t communicate with one another or use AI. New systems are under development that transfer information between different systems with the goal of making a system that monitors and automates every aspect of a move. Many moving companies will likely begin to evaluate these new systems to see how practical they are to work with.
Technology is accelerating at a fast rate, with businesses under pressure to adopt the latest digital innovations. Younger movers brought up with digital technology are expected to prefer to deal with moving companies that use digital management systems. However, there are issues of data privacy, with some reluctant to trust technology with their private data.
At Merseyside Movers & Storers, we keep an eye on new developments in the industry, but for house removals in the Liverpool region, no technology will replace our experienced and friendly human removals team with robots.
