Over the past few years the trend for large organizations has been to try to centralize the Spend on Commercial Relocation services. For many years, the local Facilities manager at each branch location was responsible for acquiring the services they needed. However; this takes the control away from Procurement to manage the annual spend. Commercial relocation services are an area where there has historically not been a service provider that could handle multiple locations. Usually moving and storage companies could only provide office moving, furniture installation, asset management, etc. in their local market.
Solution-find a service provider that can provide services to multiple locations and route all purchasing through corporate procurement. This allows a company to have a “single point of contact” for all commercial relocation needs.
CRN-Commercial Relocation Network, was born to fill this need. Our organization is a network of the BEST of the BEST commercial relocation service providers. We partner with each other to provide local services nationwide, providing for a one stop shop. With our network, we provide our clients the ability to track assets, at each location, set up corporate relocation policies and standards for all locations, move attic stock from one location to another, to reduce unnecessary purchases, and to provide our clients with one provider, who is accountable for all services.
