Every industry is rapidly embracing digital solutions, and the moving sector is no exception.
With the real estate market expanding, more people immigrating and working overseas, and a growing trend of corporate relocations, the US moving services market is set to scale significantly.
To accommodate the growing needs of this market, G2 has launched a new category for Moving Company Software.
What is moving company software?
Moving company software is specialized software used by movers to efficiently plan and schedule moves, manage staff, generate estimates, and collect payments and feedback from customers after the move. These solutions reduce paperwork, minimize errors, and enhance customer service.
The US moving services market is expected to grow at a CAGR of 3.7% between 2022 and 2027, with an anticipated increase of USD 3.9 billion. As the moving service market grows, so does the demand for efficient solutions for moving businesses.
“The moving industry has long been misunderstood as resistant to technology—it’s clear now that what it lacks is great innovation. Standard software simply can’t meet the unique demands of running a moving company.”
Wonjun Jeong
Founder & CEO of Supermove
Wonjun Jeong, Founder & CEO of Supermove, aptly captures the essence of this transformative moment, and adds that:
"That’s why specialized solutions like Supermove are stepping in to fill the gap with an end-to-end operating system.
With the unveiling of a dedicated category for moving software, G2 isn’t just recognizing the potential of our industry; they’re catalyzing its evolution. We stand on the cusp of a new era, where innovation meets necessity, and together, we’re poised to redefine what it means to move.”
Navigating the challenges of moving with moving company software
Moving can be a stressful and overwhelming process for individuals and businesses. From coordinating logistics to billing and invoicing, there are a lot of challenges moving companies face on a daily basis.
Traditionally, moving businesses manage their tasks manually or with a few software, leading to inefficiencies, errors, and customer dissatisfaction.
Moving company software addresses the challenges by offering a complete set of features designed specifically for moving businesses.
Some of the features of moving company software include:
- Estimating and quoting: Generates accurate cost estimates for customers based on items to be moved, their weight, distance, and other additional services requested.
- Scheduling and dispatching: Assigns tasks and schedules moving crews based on their availability and optimizes routes.
- Inventory management: Tracks and manages customer inventory being transported to ensure nothing is lost or damaged.
- Route optimization: Plans efficient routes for trucks to reduce travel time and fuel cost and increase the mover’s productivity.
- GPS tracking: Monitors the location and status of moving vehicles in real time.
- CRM capabilities: Manages customer data, including contact information, interactions, invoice and billing history, and leads.
- Task management: Manages daily workload of movers, monitors progress, and ensures timely completion of their tasks.
- Billing and invoicing: Generates invoices and tracks payments.
Additionally, moving company software can also integrate with other tools, such as accounting software or payment processing software, to streamline operations.
Benefits of moving company software according to G2 reviewers
Moving company software offers various benefits over traditional ways of managing moving businesses in the following ways:
Time savings
Moving software automates tasks like planning logistics, managing movers, and billing, helping moving companies stay organized. It also reduces their manual efforts, saves time, and increases their productivity.
