Relocating your business office isn’t just about changing addresses — it’s one of the most critical and vulnerable moments in your company’s IT lifecycle.
Old laptops, servers, docking stations, and storage drives are unplugged, boxed up, and transported — often without proper tracking or security.
And that creates risk.
A single lost hard drive could expose client data, violate GDPR/DSGVO, trigger fines, and damage your brand reputation.
At TurboIT, we help Swiss businesses move securely, efficiently, and profitably — so you don’t leave value behind or invite disaster during transition.
Our goal is to ensure a seamless and Secure Swiss Relocation experience for your business.
Let’s explore how our end-to-end IT logistics and secure storage service protects your data, space, and bottom line when moving offices.
⚠️ Why Most Office Moves Put IT at Risk
Too many companies treat IT relocation like regular furniture moving.
They hire general movers who:
- Don’t scan serial numbers
- Mix sensitive devices with office supplies
- Use untracked transport
- Offer no chain-of-custody proof
The result? Blind spots where breaches happen.
🔹 In 2023, a financial firm in Bern lost two encrypted drives during a move — resulting in a CHF 48,000 DSGVO fine after regulators found no disposal records. 🔹 A tech startup in Zurich delayed its launch by three weeks because their backup server was misplaced in transit.
These aren’t edge cases — they’re common consequences of poor planning.
But they’re completely avoidable.
✅ How TurboIT Keeps Your IT Safe During Office Relocation
We don’t just move boxes.
We protect your data, compliance status, and operational continuity — with Swiss precision.
Here’s how:
Step 1: Pre-Move Audit & Barcoded Inventory
Before anything leaves your site, we conduct a full inventory:
- Scan each device (laptops, desktops, servers)
- Record serial numbers digitally
- Categorize: keep, retire, resell, recycle
You’ll know exactly what’s moving — and what needs special handling.
No more guessing which laptop belongs to whom.
Step 2: Secure Packing & Tamper-Evident Containers
All equipment is packed into tamper-proof, sealed containers labeled per department or user.
Each crate is:
- Locked and signed off by your team
- Tracked via barcode system
- Loaded onto insured, access-controlled vehicles
Only authorized TurboIT technicians can open them — and only inside our secure facility in St. Gallen.
Compare this to Iron Mountain’s batch-based approach — where assets are mixed together and processed weeks later.
We deliver faster, safer, smarter.
Step 3: GPS-Tracked Transport Across Switzerland
Our fleet uses real-time GPS monitoring, so you can track your shipment live.
After pickup, you receive a secure link showing:
- Live location
- Estimated arrival time (ETA)
- Route history
- Driver identification
No black boxes. No uncertainty.
Just transparent, professional, Swiss-level logistics.

Step 4: Temporary Secure Storage (If Needed)
Need time between closure and setup?
Our climate-controlled warehouse in St. Gallen offers short-term IT storage & workshop space — perfect for:
- Cloud migration staging
- Renovation delays
- Hybrid workspace transitions
Your gear stays protected, organized, and ready when you need it.
Step 5: On-Site Data Erasing & Physical Shredding
While relocating, it’s also the ideal time to retire old IT.
We offer:
- Blancco-certified software wiping (NIST 800-88 compliant)
- Physical shredding for high-risk media (with optional video proof)
Every device receives a Certificate of Destruction — essential for audits and internal governance.
No more leaving old laptops in basements.
Step 6: Buyback Program – Turn Waste Into Working Capital
Why pay to recycle outdated devices?
With our IT buyback program, we return real money for used gear.
We resell refurbished laptops, desktops, and servers across Europe — offering higher payouts than standard recyclers.
Example Payouts:
| Device | Avg. Value (CHF) |
|---|---|
| Dell Latitude E7470 | 65–90 |
| MacBook Pro 2018 | 120–160 |
| HP ZBook Workstation | 180–250 |
| Server Rack Unit | 300+ |
💡 A fintech firm in Zug recently earned CHF 6,800 from 120 used laptops — funds reinvested into new software licenses.
Your old tech shouldn’t cost money.
It should return it.
Step 7: Final Reporting & ESG Documentation
Within 48 hours of delivery, you receive:
- Full asset list with serial numbers
- Chain-of-custody log
- Certificate of data erasure/destruction
- Environmental impact summary (CO₂ saved, trees planted)
Perfect for:
- Internal audits
- Investor reporting
- ESG compliance
Everything digital. Everything traceable.
