Let’s get this out of the way: if the first thing you look at is the price tag on moving company software, you’re asking the wrong question.
Because the real cost isn’t the software. It’s what happens when you don’t have a system to run your business.
❌ Missed leads
❌ Double-booked crews
❌ A schedule that falls apart when your best guy calls in sick...
This post isn’t a pricing sheet. It’s a reality check on what different software investments look like—and what kind of ROI you can expect.
Starter moving companies often rely on free tools—Google Sheets, sticky notes, their memory—and spend nights quoting jobs after putting in 12 hours on the truck.
But here’s the math they’re not doing:
🤔 Takeaway: You don’t pay with dollars—you pay with missed revenue and sleepless nights.
You cobble together:
It works… until it doesn’t. These tools don’t talk to each other. You’re still the glue holding it all together. And if you stop for one day, so does your business.
Common complaints:
❌ “I’m still double entering everything.”
❌ “Nobody on my team knows where anything is.”
❌ “We’re missing reviews, payments, and calls.”
The game changer: Moving company software
This is the investment movers make when they're serious about growth. Because running a business on one platform means tighter ops, fewer leaks, and more profit.
Most moving software platforms include:
SmartMoving gives you even more:
💰The payoff? More bookings. Smoother jobs. Zero micromanaging. And you finally get a vacation.
"SmartMoving changed the game for Eco Movers by getting everything in one place and automating our entire process."
- Grant Korzetz, Eco Movers
| Business stage | Typical software budget | What you’re solving for |
|---|---|---|
| Starter (1-2 trucks) | <$4k/year | Stop dropping leads, quoting manually |
| Grower (3-6 trucks) | $4k-$10k/year | Build a real system that scales |
| Operator (6-10 trucks) | $10k-$15k/year | Run departments without chaos |
| Regional (10-20 trucks) | $15k-$25k/year | Multi-location visibility, compliance |
| Enterprise (20+ trucks) | $25k+/year | Centralized data, full automation |
🤯 Before you get sticker shock: This isn’t about “spending more.” It’s about spending smarter. The right system pays for itself within months. If it doesn't? Time to switch.
Instead of “How much does it cost?” ask:
Because the movers who scale from 3 to 30 trucks aren’t using free tools. They’re using platforms that put money back in their pocket—week after week.
“When we signed with SmartMoving, we were doing $1.5m in revenue. Last year, we did $6m. We literally quadrupled our revenue. That wouldn’t have been possible without SmartMoving."
-Wade Swikle, 2 College Brothers
