Found a new job and planning to relocate? 5 apps to help you move

Shifting to a new city has never been easy. It opens up a pandora box of things to be managed at various levels, and requires extreme patience.

Relocating doesn't stop at mere transportation and shifting of houses, but spans through buying furniture, getting connections such as Direct-to-Home (DTH), familiarisation of area for locally available home help services, basic amenities to make life easy.

To avoid the hassle involved, here are five apps that one can explore:
