SaveSpace Schweiz

Moving your office and your inventory

SaveSpace Schweiz rents secure storage units across the country for businesses facing office relocations, renovations, or temporary consolidation. The firm specializes in "Umzug & Zwischenlagerung," a Swiss category meaning move-and-temporary-storage, and handles the entire logistics chain: pickups from your existing location, secure storage during the transition, and scheduled delivery to your new space. This is warehouse logistics rather than self-service, designed for companies moving an entire office or substantial equipment inventories, not for individuals storing a sofa.

The site presents SaveSpace as handling business relocations and reconfigurations across all company sizes. Contactable at 041 562 64 04, the firm offers inventory storage for everything from office furniture to IT equipment to document archives. The service model differs fundamentally from traditional self-storage: SaveSpace coordinates the timing of everything. You declare your inventory, your construction timeline, and your move-in schedule; the firm plans the pickup waves, confirms the storage period, and coordinates the delivery schedule to match your timeline. This eliminates the coordination burden from your team.

What it does for a business relocating

Anyone coordinating an office move in Switzerland must answer a hard question: what happens to the desks, servers, and archives in the days or weeks between vacating the old space and occupying the new one. A renovation project poses the same puzzle. SaveSpace positions itself as the answer: temporary storage while your new space is being finished out, or while you're consolidating multiple offices into one. The alternative is renting empty warehouse space month-by-month and managing your own logistics, or storing everything in the parking lot of your new building, which is rarely feasible.

The firm's stated advantage is the completeness of the service. It offers what the site calls "termingenau Rücklieferung," timed-to-the-minute return delivery, coordinating with your construction schedule or move-in plan rather than holding everything until you're ready and making you handle the return. The site emphasizes the "Abholung," the pickup, as a included service: SaveSpace's team arrives at your old location, packs materials as needed, loads, transports to the facility, catalogs everything, and later repeats the process in reverse. For companies without their own trucks or warehouse staff, this removes a dependency. The firm targets companies at all scales: individual department moves, full-building relocations, and retail chains rolling out new locations. It also handles inventory consolidation for businesses shrinking their footprint without a move, so seasonal stock or dead inventory can be stored rather than discarded.

Services and the practical architecture

The site lists five core services bundled into the relocation package. First, storage itself, scaled by the project: the firm allocates temporary floor space proportional to your inventory volume and your timeline. Second, "Abholung & Rücklieferung," pickup and return delivery, with the firm arriving to collect and later to restore the goods. Third, flexible floor allocation, meaning if your renovation runs short or long, the storage period adjusts without penalty. Fourth, "transparente Bestandsübersicht," an inventory tracking system where the firm maintains a digital list with photographs and notes of what is stored, accessible to your teams. Fifth, a dedicated account manager throughout the project, someone your company can reach for timing changes or coordination issues.

The pickup-to-storage-to-delivery cycle works in three phases, as the site describes it. Phase one is "Bestandsaufnahme & Flächenplanung," an inventory assessment where you and SaveSpace jointly decide what goes into storage versus what goes to the new location immediately. Phase two establishes the "Relocation-Zeitplan," a master timeline aligning your construction schedule, your vacate date, your move-in date, and the storage period. Phase three is the "Go-Live," where SaveSpace delivers inventory in waves: IT and workstations first so your team can operate, then furniture, then archives and remainder. The firm can leave surplus inventory in storage after your team has moved in, so equipment you do not need immediately but may need later stays available without taking up floor space in the new building.

The site highlights security and condition protection. Storage is video-monitored and alarmed. Climate control is mentioned: "trockene" (dry) conditions are specified; no moisture-related damage is described as typical. The firm mentions "schonende Behandlung," careful handling of furniture and sensitive technology. Rollaway pallets, marked containers, and optional packing and unpacking services are offered. Materials that cannot be stored can be handled through "Entsorgung," disposal, or kept for later use.

What remains uncertain

The most glaring gap is pricing. The site presents no price list, no hourly rate for labor, no per-unit storage fee, no minimum commitment. It offers only "unverbindliches Angebot," a non-binding quote. This is common for projects whose scope is genuinely variable, a small department move costs a fraction of a company-wide relocation, but it means a prospect cannot compare SaveSpace to a competitor or budget for the service without engaging directly. For a business accustomed to calling a mover or a storage company and getting a same-day quote, the need to request a call-back is a friction point.

The site also does not specify geographic coverage beyond "nationwide," and does not clarify which storage locations would hold your goods. It mentions 15 locations in passing on a different part of the site, but does not tie those to your address or allow you to see which facility is nearest. Response time is stated as "regel­mäßig innerhalb weniger Minuten während der Geschäftszeiten," usually within minutes during business hours, not a committed SLA, and not outside business hours.

The site does not publish insurance options. Corporate goods in storage carry risk (theft, fire, water damage), and businesses that have held inventory off-site before typically ask about insurance. The site says nothing about coverage, optional or included, which means any prospect needs to ask directly.

Who it suits and who it does not

SaveSpace is built for mid-sized and larger companies coordinating complex moves. If your office is moving across the city and your new space is ready when you vacate the old one, you do not need SaveSpace; a same-day moving company with no storage involvement is cheaper and simpler. If you are a freelancer storing personal possessions, you are almost certainly better served by a self-service unit from zebrabox or Stockeet, where you control access and minimize labor costs.

SaveSpace suits you if you are a company vacating a building while construction is underway elsewhere, or consolidating two or three offices into one new space, or running a retail rollout where multiple locations need stock held between the warehouse and the store. It suits you if you need coordination, someone tracking what is stored and when it ships back, rather than just floor space. It suits you if you have IT equipment or archives that need climate control and careful handling rather than basic protection. It does not suit you if you need transparent pricing upfront or if you work outside normal business hours; SaveSpace sells through phone consultation and human coordination, not self-service portals or written quotes.
