Greentec and Quantum Lifecycle Partners both offer a service they call white glove, in which their crew packs your equipment at your site and takes it away. Greentec's Toronto page says it services Toronto and area, and its pages describe a crew that audits the assets, supplies the packing materials, and does the packing and loading. Quantum has a North York address and lists white-glove logistics with pack and transport among its onsite services. Zonal ASD, whose office is in Mississauga, describes a similar arrival in different words: vetted staff bring lockable containers and inventory every item on site.
