Advantages of using software for moving services

With the use of a mobile application for cost estimation, as well as appropriate software for moving services, the mover reduces and greatly simplifies internal expenses and planning – now make your mover ready for the future.

Margins in the relocation business are constantly falling, not least because of the relocation brokerage platforms and high costs for online advertising. Planning is becoming increasingly important. And at the same time, it is imperative to be organized in a lean and cost-efficient way. Little air remains. The Work&Track software, with a powerful Mobile APP, can be a solution.

Moving companies, even small ones, are in strong demand in these times.

The price war for relocation orders is getting stronger and stronger. The online relocation platforms are putting pressure on the market. But you need these low-margin orders and at the same time you have to prioritize your direct customers.

It is therefore imperative that you are organized in a lean and cost-efficient way and have a strong focus on planning. Companies in the relocation sector often also offer cleaning services, furniture storage and long-distance moves. This is a challenge especially for small companies. Simple quotations with Word documents, verbal order placement, classic planning boards or Excel tables and paper forms for reporting are used. Data is entered multiple times and errors creep in.

It is obvious: The need to know which removal orders can be planned and when on the one hand and to have an overview of all resources for possible “emergencies” on the other hand is vital!

But most software solutions are too extensive, require integration by IT professionals, do not fit into a flexible team and are aimed at larger companies. So how to proceed?

With the Work&Track Mobile software for the moving company, a modern, clear, affordable solution, up and running in no time!

Work&Track is ideal for small businesses (SMEs). It uses software in the cloud and a mobile app. Key processes of your company for moving and cleaning can be mapped efficiently:
