What Olympia Moving & Storage does

Olympia Moving & Storage is a privately held, founder-led transportation and logistics company founded in 1993 in Boston by CEO Michael Gilmartin, growing from two trucks and a 5,000-square-foot warehouse to 250+ employees and five regional branches across Watertown, MA (Boston); Hyattsville, MD (Washington DC); Thorofare, NJ (Philadelphia); Austin, TX; and Tampa, FL. The company provides residential moving (local, long-distance via the Wheaton World Wide Moving agent network, and international via International Association of Movers membership) alongside commercial services including office relocation, FF&E management, warehousing, decommissioning, installation, event logistics, and facilities management. A storage footprint exceeding 300,000 square feet supports both short- and long-term, climate-controlled offerings.

The operating platform combines a computerized inventory tracking system, GPS-enabled fleet, and a proprietary Olympia Move Portal that lets customers manage move details and documents online; the company also deploys specialized equipment (notably piano moving gear) and a move-coordinator model that assigns a dedicated contact to each customer. Technology is positioned as service-enablement rather than core product differentiation. Recent product development includes the Move360 full-service relocation program (launched November 2025 in Washington, DC) and the Scope360 sub-brand for complex, multi-site commercial projects.

Revenue is generated across six streams: local moving (hourly usage-based pricing), interstate moving (weight and distance-based with binding estimates), commercial moving (project-based professional services), storage (subscription/recurring), specialty services such as piano moving and senior relocations (professional services), and packing supplies (unit-priced hardware sales). Go-to-market combines a direct sales force with move consultants conducting in-home or virtual assessments, in-person and online estimate intake, a toll-free call center, the company website, and a realtor/referral partnership program. Customer mix spans individual consumers, small and mid-market businesses, government and GSA accounts, healthcare/laboratory clients, educational institutions, and hospitality/retail accounts. Multiple Wheaton Mover of the Year awards (2003, 2007, 2021), a 95% customer satisfaction rating, and a 28-million-pound annual move volume underscore the operating consistency.
