Migrera – a better way to move
9 years ago Shalini BThe Indian industry is divided into lot of big and small segments and after agriculture the biggest yet unorganized sector is the packing and moving industry. Not everybody is aware of the fact that this sector has a major role in the service sector because of its wide scope and high demand.ÂÂÂ
Every person who has availed the services of packers and movers knows the long process that goes behind finding the right movers. The entire process begins by making numerous calls to various moving firms, collecting their quotes, finding out about their transporting limits, and the extra charges that they cost (if any). To avoid all this chaos and to provide customers a hassle free moving experience, four friends came together to start migrera.com a startup providing complete e-logistic solution. Migrera is based in Hyderabad and is co-founded by Kranthi Kumar Renamala, Pradeep Chandra Goduma and Sandeep Reddy Sanikommu.
Migrera provides an electronic platform for customers to find easy vendors, while from the packers and movers point of view, it brings in customers who wish to avail their services. Migrera introduces a variety of ‘pre-built User Interface components’ for the customers to enter the complete details of the move and the vendors to easily provide their quotes. Migrera aims at saving the customers time and making it as simple as possible. From the packers and movers point of view, Migrera avoids the pre-visits and tele conversations by digitizing the common questionnaire into the user interface components. Migrera, thus values time and money by making the entire process Digital.
“Due to the uncertainty in identifying reliable packers and movers, the customer experience is not enriching and there is an element of fear associated with the move for inevitable reasons. Not to mention the additional expenses the customer has to incur because of their inability to enlist all the items in the move. Realizing the untapped potential and with the aim of enhancing customer experience, I have co-founded Migrera, with 3 more colleagues as a one stop solution for meeting all the moving needs.†quotes Kranthi, one of the cofounders.
Migrera has a 24X7 solution for all customers, and also provides easy payment options online. Ensuring customer safety is very high on their list of priorities and hence they allow only registered and verified professional movers to quote their estimates on their website.ÂÂÂ
“Packers and Movers have to go through a strict process of verification before we register them on our website. This is to ensure the safety of our customers.†says Pradeep. All the founders are friends since school and have nurtured the idea of starting up since childhood.
MIGRERA launched their beta version in the last week of January 2015 and went live in early March 2015. Since then, they have executed more than 80 moves successfully and has received rave reviews from their customers. Side by side, the vendor base of this startup has also been on a boom. With this success in Hyderabad, Migrera is planning to expand their operations to other major cities soon.
