Five tech enabled aggregators providing shifting solutions

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.
