moreover
Expresses that something is added to what has already been said. It is used to introduce another point or another argument and is stylistically rather formal.

The word is made up of 'über' (over/beyond) and 'dies' (this). The literal meaning is 'beyond this' or 'in addition to this,' which explains its function as an intensifying argument.

The apartment is beautiful and has a good location. Moreover, the rent is very reasonable.
'Überdies' (moreover) is a conjunctive adverb. If it appears at the beginning of the sentence (position 1), the verb follows immediately. However, it can also appear in the middle of the sentence after the verb and the subject.

also / besides
'außerdem' and 'überdies' both add another point. 'außerdem' is neutral and very common in everyday language. 'überdies' means almost the same thing, but sounds more formal and a bit more written. In a normal conversation, people usually say 'außerdem'. In a report, an application, or a factual text, 'überdies' can sound more natural when you want to mention another reason.
Das Angebot ist günstig; überdies enthält es eine lange Garantie.
