Smart Move, Inc. (AMEX: MVE), a Denver-based asset logistics manager providing a unique and increasingly popular alternative solution for transporting household and commercial goods today (August 14) announced that it is hosting a specialized business symposium and workshop in cooperation with the Star Move AllianceSM and numerous national van lines in Chicago on August 17, 2007.
The collection of national van lines that will be represented at the first annual symposium rank among the top twenty largest van lines in the country, including one from Canada, the combined revenues of the participants exceed $1 billion dollars in annual household goods revenues. This debut event will allow attendees to discuss how the Smart Move model and its’ unique SmartVault™ shipping containers can be used to add capacity, solve over-flow issues, expand product offerings and increase competitiveness.
“We specifically designed the Smart Move solution to allow us to offer our asset and logistics management services to not only our customers directly, but also to the industry as a whole,” said Chris Sapyta, president and chief executive officer of Smart Move, Inc. “We are excited and respectful of the national van lines that have shown interest in our product and we are confident that we can deliver value that will enable all of us to increase our sales while building, long term relationships within the industry.”
Smart Move affords the van lines the opportunity to offer cost effective, expedited services. The Smart Move operations team guarantees cross country service faster than any existing van line in the country. By making the SmartVault available to major van lines, they can recognize immediate benefits from never having to turn business away because of the lack of capacity or a customer load being too small, and they can improve utilization efficiencies of their own equipment.
“To have principals and executives from companies with operating histories of more than 75 years of household goods experience participating in the workshop validates that the Smart Move solution has merit to the industry’s most established and successful companies, as well as to our customers directly,” added Sapyta. -Smart Move, Inc.
