CHRONOS - Bekins A-1 Movers

LIVERMORE, CA-- Bekins A-1 Movers, Inc., headquartered in Pennsylvania, with 20 branch locations throughout the United States, announces an exciting new service for their customers. In a unique partnership with SmartMove Inc., a Colorado-based company, Bekins A-1 Movers, Inc. is launching an alternative method for transporting household and commercial goods securely and quickly through containerized shipping. Utilizing SmartMove’s proprietary GPS-enabled shipping container, the SmartVault™, this containerized shipping model increases the strength and flexibility of the already robust service offerings of the Bekins A-1 Movers, Inc. companies. The logistics of the program are handled by SmartMove’s primary transportation provider, UPS Freight.

Bekins A-1 Movers, Inc. in conjunction with commonly owned Bekins Moving Solutions, Inc., has created a new division to manage and facilitate all aspects of this containerized shipping program. The newly created division, Chronos, was designed to enhance the revenue stream of each of the branch locations and provide a new consumer service product. Chronos is based out of the San Francisco Bay Area, managed by Scott Harvey, Vice President of Business Solutions, who stated:

“Chronos was designed to help customers move faster…. from Point A… to Point Done. Utilizing SmartVault™ technology, we will help our customers with the fastest, most secure, and most economical method possible for moving their personal effects. In our fast-paced society, time is money. The quicker and more secure we can get their personal effects moved across the Country the more they save throughout their relocation process. Chronos is built around the customers’ schedules, not ours.”
