Moving Companion gives your Village Specialists the tools to guide residents through every decision — what stays, what goes, what fits — and keeps families informed every step of the way.
Most residents have no system for deciding what comes with them — and no way to communicate those decisions to family.
Village Specialists are managing dozens of moves simultaneously, with no shared platform to track progress or coordinate on move day.
Adult children are intimately involved — but often live far away. Without visibility, they arrive unprepared and the stress compounds.
Without a clear inventory, donations go wrong. A family member drives an hour to collect furniture that doesn't fit in their car.
Apartment moves are harder than villa moves. Less space, no garage, stricter fit decisions — every item needs a plan.
Artwork, jewellery, and precious collections change hands during moves. Without documentation, liability disputes follow.
Moving into a village apartment is more demanding than moving to a villa. Less floor space. No garage. Every item competes for a spot. Without a clear inventory and fit assessment, residents arrive to discover furniture that won't fit through the door, family members who come unprepared, and decisions made under pressure on move day. Moving Companion turns that chaos into a structured process — so your specialists can guide residents with confidence, and families can support without being overwhelmed.
Know what fits before move day
Every item has a destination
Families arrive prepared
Valuables documented and protected
Purpose-built for retirement village moves — not a generic project tool bolted together.
Capture every item — not just what's coming, but what's going to family, what's for TradeMe, what charity is collecting. Every decision documented, nothing left to chance.
Measure items against the new apartment or villa. Get an instant "Fits / Too Large / Measure Required" report before move day — no surprises on arrival.
Generate a pickup list for each family member — what they're collecting, when, and whether it fits in their vehicle. No more wasted trips or missed items.
Produce a clear pre-move discard plan — what's going to Habitat for Humanity, what's listed on TradeMe, what needs a council pickup. Pastoral care, documented.
The unpacking team works from a live digital checklist grouped by destination room. Every item ticked off as it arrives. No lost boxes, no missing items.
Document artwork, jewellery, and precious items with provenance details, photos, and estimated values. Protect residents — and your village — from liability disputes.
On-site room walkthrough on any phone or tablet. Photograph, categorise, and note items in minutes. No paperwork, no double entry, no office required.
Manage multiple client moves simultaneously. See every client's progress at a glance — what's been captured, what's pending, what needs attention this week.
Every move involves a specialist, a resident, and a family. Moving Companion connects all three.
Five steps. Zero paperwork. Everyone on the same page.
Specialist photographs and captures every item on-site using the mobile app. Takes minutes per room.
Items are measured against the new home. A report shows what fits, what doesn't, and what needs a decision.
Every item gets a destination: new home, family member, TradeMe, charity, or discard. Family members receive their pickup lists.
The unpacking team works from a live digital checklist. Items are checked off as they arrive. The specialist sees progress in real time.
A full record of the move is retained — item condition, provenance, valuables documentation. Resident and village both protected.
Developed alongside retirement village staff, moving specialists, and real clients going through the process.
"When I receive the Moving Companion item file, I can see exactly what needs to be packed, the cubic volume, and how many crew and trucks I'll need — without setting foot in the house."
"Mum's move was always going to be emotional. What we didn't expect was how organised it would be. We knew exactly what we were collecting, we had the right vehicle, and everything went smoothly."
"I've been planning moves all my life and this is the most complex one I've faced. Moving Companion meant every decision was documented, every family member knew their role, and nothing was left to chance."
