PROBLEMS

Young people often have to move for work or school but planning a move and packing up the boxes can be challenging; hiring professional movers can also be expensive! As the departure date approaches, and they need to pack, people often don’t know where to start. After they get to their new home, it might be hard to find something specific, and you don’t want to look through all the boxes.

PROPOSED SOLUTIONS

  • Plan accordingly and motivate to start organizing and packing. Don’t leave anything to the last minute
  • It can easily manage and record the contents of the box to make a visual memory
  • It can unpack necessities without having to worry about going through all of the boxes to have the items in need. It will save a lot of time in the end

Interview

1. Tell me about the last time that you moved. Why? How did it go? What type of help did you have?

2. What’s the reason that you moved?

3. Do you choose to move and pack by yourself or hire a full service moving company?

4. What's the bigger problem that you have when you are moving? How do you handle it?

5. Do you make a plan before moving? Did you make a plan?

6. How do you organize stuff?

7. What container do you use to move stuff? Where do you get it?

8. Have items been lost or forgotten during the moving transport?

Findings and Pain Points

Findings

“I move once a year.”

“Packing & Unpacking can be annoying and frustrating.”

“ Sometimes I have too many things I have to organize, and it costs a lot of time. Sometimes I don’t know how to start.”

“I lose things every time I move.”

“Each time it is difficult to estimate how many boxes I need.”

“It’s bad at the end when you have 100 boxes and packing paper that is all empty and you have to get rid of them somehow.”


Pain Points

1. No motivation about how to start to pack.

Having too much stuff to organize costs a lot of time, and sometimes you don’t know how to start.

2. Time-consuming searches for needed essentials.

Typically when you move, unpacking takes several days. Finding out the needed essentials is time-consuming and disastrous if there has no clear and organized checklist.
