The 5 things that decide whether the lead becomes a $1,485 booked move or dies in quote purgatory. On-site walk-through quotes with hourly plus flat-rate options. Crew plus truck-size dispatch in one tap. Photo plus condition inventory the customer signs off on. Real margin per move including crew labor, truck, fuel, plus dump fees. Damage claim documentation that protects both sides. All in one app. Built for the tech who's carried a 9-foot Steinway baby grand up four flights of Brooklyn brownstone stairs.
Walk the home with the customer. Photograph the bedroom set, the dining room, the basement boxes. Build the quote in 8 minutes. 3 movers plus 26-foot truck plus 6 hours estimated equals $1,485 hourly OR $1,650 flat-rate. Customer picks, signs digitally, pays a deposit before you back out of the driveway.
Build a job type that notes the crew size, the truck (26-foot versus the 16 or the 20), and any specialty equipment like piano dollies, four-wheel furniture trucks, plus shrink wrap, then assign it from the dispatch board. Saturday 7am: 3-mover crew plus 26-foot truck plus piano dolly all assigned to 412 Northgate by 6:55am. No "I thought we had the bigger truck" at 7:14am.
Every piece of furniture photographed pre-load with condition notes like existing scratch on the dresser corner, water ring on the dining table, missing knob on the armoire. Customer signs the inventory digitally before loading. When a damage claim arrives Monday after the move, you pull up the pre-load photo showing the existing dresser scratch already there.
Crew labor, truck wear, fuel, dump fees, packing supplies. Tracked per move. For example, a $1,485 3-bedroom local move (6 hours, $185 fuel plus truck, $0 supplies) might show a 47% margin, an $895 1-bedroom across town (3 hours, in-and-out) might show 62%, and a $4,200 long-haul might show only 34% once you factor in two nights of crew lodging.
Pre-load photos, condition inventory signed by customer, post-unload photos, customer walk-through sign-off, all saved to the job and exportable as a branded photo report PDF when you need to send it. You stop losing damage claims because you didn't document the existing condition, and customers stop disputing damage that was already there before your crew touched it.
Starter is $19/mo. Texting, AI and dispatch start on Crew at $39. The phone line and AI receptionist are on Business at $79.
Moving is a high-physical-risk, high-trust business. The customer hands you the keys to everything they own. Two hours later you're carrying their grandmother's china down a staircase that wasn't on the floor plan. The shops that win two things differently. They document the existing condition before anything moves because half the damage claims are for stuff that was already broken. They price transparently so the customer doesn't feel scammed when the 6-hour estimate becomes a 7.5-hour reality.
Claver structures every move around the documentation that protects both sides. Every piece of furniture photographed pre-load. Every existing scratch, dent, water ring, and missing knob noted in writing. Customer signs the inventory digitally before loading. When the damage claim arrives Monday morning saying the movers scratched my dresser, you pull up the pre-load photo from Saturday at 7:42am showing the same scratch already there instead of starting a drawn-out back-and-forth with no proof either way.
The walk-through quote is the engine. The condition inventory is what protects the relationship.
When you walk into Mrs. Castillo's 3-bedroom in Brooklyn Heights for the in-home estimate, the quote builds itself in the app. Walk the master bedroom with king bed, dresser, two nightstands, armoire. The second bedroom with queen bed, dresser, desk. The third bedroom-turned-office with desk, bookcase, file cabinet, 18 banker's boxes. The dining room with table for 8, 8 chairs, hutch. The living room with sofa, loveseat, two chairs, coffee table, two end tables, TV stand, 32 wall items. The basement with 47 boxes, washer, dryer, garage shelving. Build the quote. 3 movers plus 26-foot truck plus 6 hours estimated equals $1,485 hourly OR $1,650 flat-rate recommended for first-time moves. She picks flat-rate, signs digitally, pays a $400 deposit. The move is on Saturday with the 26-foot truck and Marcus's crew.
Saturday morning at 6:55am, dispatch is one tap. The 3-mover crew with Marcus, Jamie, Dre. The 26-foot truck versus the 16 or the 20. The piano dollies because Mrs. Castillo's upright piano is going. The shrink wrap, and the heavy-duty quad-stack of moving blankets all assigned to 412 Northgate Avenue by 6:55am. Marcus opens the app and sees 7am at Northgate, 3-bedroom move, flat-rate $1,650 plus tip TBD, piano going, customer prefers Marcus's crew because she met him on the estimate, gate code 4729, dog Bowie sleeps in the side yard.
On-site, the photo plus condition inventory is what prevents the Monday-morning damage call. Marcus walks the apartment with Mrs. Castillo before any furniture moves. He photographs the dresser corner with the existing scratch noted as existing damage prior to move. The dining table with the water ring noted as existing. The armoire missing the lower-right knob noted as missing knob prior to move. She signs the inventory digitally on his iPad, witnesses the timestamp, and the move starts. When she calls Monday at 9:14am saying the dresser corner is scratched, you pull up the pre-load photo showing the same scratch. The conversation is honest, the documentation is unfightable, and the relationship is preserved.
Job costing tells you which moves pay. For example, a $1,485 3-bedroom local move (6 hours, 3-mover crew, 26-foot truck, $185 fuel plus truck wear, $0 supplies) might show a 47% margin, an $895 1-bedroom across town (3 hours, 2-mover crew, 16-foot truck) might show 62%, and a $4,200 long-haul Boston-to-DC might show only 34% once you factor in two nights of crew lodging at $310 a night and a truck rental that ran 4 days instead of 3. Now you know which moves to chase, which to reprice in your booking widget, and which long-hauls to politely refuse next time.
And two-way texting handles the cross-country complexity. The Boston-to-DC move loads Friday at 10am, drives Saturday, unloads Sunday afternoon. Text the customer from the job when the truck loads Friday, when it's back on the road Saturday, and your ETA for Sunday. No where's my stuff phone calls at 11pm. The customer trusts the timeline because you're keeping her posted. That's the customer who refers her sister's move next year.
