THE STORY

A leading international banking institution was preparing to close its West Coast operations and consolidate its sensitive financial records at its East Coast headquarters in New York City by the end of 2024. With over 500 file boxes containing private international banking information in need of secure, efficient relocation, the bank needed a trusted partner to ensure compliance, confidentiality, and timeliness.

Ace Relocation Systems was brought in to manage the transfer, offering a tailored, end-to-end solution. This included secure transportation, short-term storage, and coordination with union labor at the destination—each step handled with the utmost care and discretion.

SECURE, SINGLE-SOLUTION TRANSPORT

Understanding the critical nature of the files being moved, Ace Relocation provided a dedicated truck with a team-driver setup to expedite the coast-to-coast shipment. This ensured minimal handling and uninterrupted security from pickup to delivery, reducing both risk and transit time.

STORAGE + SCHEDULING AROUND NYC EVENTS

Upon arrival in New York City, the team was met with an unexpected logistical challenge: abrupt street closures and increased security measures related to the Rockefeller Center Tree lighting event. These last-minute restrictions, including closed loading docks, made it temporarily impossible to deliver the shipment as originally planned.

Ace Relocation quickly pivoted, securing short-term storage at a warehouse for two weeks until access until access restrictions were lifted. By remaining flexible and solution-oriented, Ace ensured the move stayed on track and the shipment remained secure, despite the unforeseen disruption.

UNION COORDINATION AT DESTINATION

In compliance with building regulations in New York, union labor was required for final delivery. Ace Relocation coordinated these efforts in advance, ensuring all parties were aligned once the window for delivery reopened. The result was a smooth and efficient handoff of sensitive materials to the client’s new facility.
