As we head into the New Year, many business owners and office managers may be thinking about where their business will be in 2022. Thoughts about growth and expansion, refocusing and streamlining, or even rationalizing and downsizing are in order. The pandemic has definitely taught us that we need to be adaptable and flexible – pivoting as required - in order to be resilient and survive in a challenging business environment.

A change in your business environment may mean an office move to a larger or smaller location. Whatever the reason for your commercial move may be, it is a great opportunity to freshen up or upgrade your office furniture.

What do you do with the old office furniture you don’t want or need anymore?

Every office has some older office furniture that is broken or needs to be repaired. You know that back room that serves as an office chair cemetery? Yes, we’re talking about that room where all the unwanted, no longer needed, damaged furniture or office equipment ends up in. That room that no one goes in at night where the old computer cables seem to move on their own…

Moving your office is the perfect opportunity to clear out that room: out with the old and in with the new! But what to do with all those unwanted items?

Ways to Dispose of Unwanted Office Furniture and Equipment

These days, it’s all about the 3Rs – Reuse, Reduce, Recycle – so just bringing old office equipment to the dump should be a last resort solution. There are many ways you can dispose of your unwanted equipment and old office furniture, and maybe help others and the environment at the same time too.

Donate to Charity

Unwanted office furniture that is still in good condition can be donated to a charity or a not-for-profit organization. That way you can help others and get a tax credit for a charitable donation at the same time. It also avoids sending things to the dump. It’s a win-win-win!

Refurbishing

Some unwanted office furniture may be a bit damaged or have broken parts. There are a number of businesses that offer refurbishing services to bring the furniture back into top shape and then resell it at competitive prices. Your old office partitions may be reused by another company looking to expand their office, extending their useful life. It can also contribute to LEED credits for those trying to achieve LEED certification.

In the case of office equipment and electronics, there are businesses that can repair and refurbish, or break down and recycle all or most of the equipment and components. Your local municipality may also be able to collect your electronics and office machines, sometimes even at no cost to you.

Selling

If the unwanted items are still in good shape and are still usable, consider selling them online on Kijiji or through an auction. You get a bit of money back to help with moving your office, and the items don’t end up as waste at the dump.

Your Business Is Growing: Time To Move!

Your business has been growing, and that’s great news! Many businesses have struggled through the pandemic, and you’ve not only managed to survive, but even to thrive on top of that!

Whether the growth was achieved by adding new clients, by growing your product line or by pivoting your business into something completely different, you now need more space to accommodate new staff.

We’ve mentioned that there are many things to think about when considering or planning an office move, like disassembling & reassembling furniture, disposing of old items, office furniture installation, and more importantly choosing a commercial moving partner that has never missed a deadline; but for many businesses one of the major pain points is moving the IT infrastructure.

Moving Your Office IT Network is Job #1

We all know that the IT infrastructure is the lifeblood of a business; it’s how information about customer orders is stored and shared; it’s how your widgets are designed or your services are delivered to your clients; it’s how Accounting records and tracks the performance of your business and determines your profitability.

Your business can’t afford to be down so it’s mission critical to disconnect and reconnect your IT network as quickly as possible.

So before you even think of installing your office furniture, you have to think of your office IT network first. You don’t want to lose customer data or orders. You don’t want to expose your business to cybersecurity risks like spoofing and hacking. You want to be back up and running 100% as fast as possible.

For many businesses, setting up the IT infrastructure is an afterthought to setting up the furniture, but that can cause many problems to physically access the network, to its performance and to its security.

Let High Energy Transport Move your Office IT Network

Your office IT network is one of your most precious business assets, so let High Energy Transport properly take it apart in your current location, carefully pack it, and professionally reconfigure it again at the your new location  to avoid the issues we’ve just mentioned above.

The High Energy Transport commitment to excellent customer service means that a dedicated project manager is assigned to your move, and that we follow up on every project with next-day reports that summarize project status including any deficiencies, which ensures they are resolved quickly.

So you’ve finally decided that it’s time to move your office after so many years. There may be different reasons for doing this.

Business is growing?

If your business is growing, then maybe you’re facing one of more of these challenges:

• Your business has grown and you’re looking to expand your operations into a bigger office
• You’ve added staff and need more space to accommodate them
• You’ve acquired another business and need to merge the 2 existing offices into a new location to get your combined team together
• You’ve pivoted your business by adding a new product line or service and need additional space

Business activity is down?

If your business activity has slowed down during the pandemic, then maybe you’re facing one of more of these challenges:

• You don’t have as many employees anymore
• You don’t need as much office or storage space
• You’ve pivoted your business into a completely different area of business that doesn’t require as much space anymore
• You’re looking to reduce your rent expense
• You’re looking to sell your business and want to make the balance sheet more attractive

Whatever the situation may be, one of the major considerations when moving an office is moving office furniture. Whether you’re a small business with 5 employees in Markham, a mid-sized business with 50 employees in Vaughan, or a large business with 500 employees in Mississauga, one thing is certain is that you will have to move office furniture: desks, chairs, tables, credenzas, modular office systems, filing cabinets, whiteboards; and not to mention all those computers and printers – and even the odd plant as well!

You may also have furniture that is broken, damaged, too old or simply not being used anymore, and we can get rid of that for you as part of our office installation and moving services.

If you’re considering moving your office, it may be for many different reasons such as:

• your business is growing and you need more space
• you want to get closer to your clients and customers
• your business model has pivoted and you don’t need as much space anymore
• you’re downsizing and need to reduce rent expenses
• you’re buying a property instead of leasing space

You also need to consider how you’re going to make the move, like disassembling and reassembling furniture; taking your IT network down and turning it back up; getting rid of old and bulky items you no longer need; and let’s not forget all the décor and office improvement decisions you’ll have to make!

Of course you also need to take into account the needs of your employees and staff, and of the impact of the transition on their morale and their overall productivity. Business never stops, and nor should you!

One thing you shouldn’t have to worry about however, is choosing the right partner for your commercial move. There may be many commercial movers out there, but there is only one High Energy Transport Inc.

We’ve Never Missed a Deadline

That's right, you’ve read that correctly: 100% completion date.

• We can store your items in our warehouse if there is a delay in getting access the new location
• Why not consider outsourcing your inventory storage at the same time? We can handle that for you and help reduce your inventory costs and your space requirements

Simply put, warehousing is the process of storing items in a certain location during the shipping or fulfilment portion of a business transaction as they transit from one point to another in the supply chain to get to the end customer.

You can temporarily store items in your business’ stockroom or your shipping dock, but to get the maximum use out of your space and to help you control inventory and shipping costs, it’s best to store your physical goods in a safe and secure warehouse.

Why use an external warehouse to store my products?

The explosion of e-commerce over the past 2 years has put a lot of pressure on storage space and delivery times. Tech savvy customers constantly order products online and expect fast delivery times. Having warehousing facilities in a centrally-located area of the city enables you to provide faster shipping options and keeps the customer happy and coming back to you.

Also, having 3^rd party external warehouse space speeds up your delivery to your clients and helps control your inventory costs by eliminating the extra steps of receiving all the products in-house, unpacking, picking, re-packing and finally shipping it all back out. It also helps minimize mistakes with all these manual processes, since warehousing staff are experts at what they do; and they do it every single day, day in and day out.

You may need warehousing facilities for:

• Inventory storage: free up space and your employees’ time by storing your products at an off-site facility
• Cross-province or cross-border shipping: separate and rearrange your orders on a regional basis, and send the right inventory to the right destination from the get-go
• Optimizing your capacity: combine multiple shipments and multiple orders into one container for a more cost-effective delivery
• Centralizing your shipments: use a centrally-located effective distribution centre as the warehousing hub for your business
• Improving your delivery times: get your shipments out to your customers faster with a centrally-located warehouse close to your clients locations
