iMover - custom CRM for moving company

Table of Contents

Ready-made CRM is difficult to customize to the specifics of moving business. Such CRMs often do not have the necessary functionality, and users do not have the ability to customize existing modules for the company's processes. For our client, in addition to the disadvantages of Ready-made CRM, it was important that all information within the CRM system was securely protected and stored on its own server.

In the case of iMover, the customer decided to take all the advantages of a custom solution provides a business like no extra functionality and an opportunity to scale up an app, modify it, and integrate easily with other software used by the company. The client contacted RexSoft and we have done it.

CRM for moving companies: logic, roles, and main modules

The essence of the iMover CRM is in the following steps that allow the company to provide the full scope of services within the same ecosystem. 

  • The customer creates a request via phone or using the contact form available in the application, on the website, or in its mobile version. 
  • The agent responds to the request and forms the job for the transportation. At the moment, the agent also details the request, calculates costs, and forms the team that will be responsible for its maintenance. 

Besides this, at that moment the customer is welcome to launch their insurance policy to guarantee items’ safety or to get ensured right in the moving company. All this is available in the application to the choice of the customer.

After the job is created and the insurance policy is specified, the movers' CRM generates the contract and sends it to the customer’s email. The customer can sign the contract using their digital signatures via smartphone. The alternative method is provided by a driver who provides a customer with all the contract’s content and gets the customer’s signature on his tablet.

  • Then the customer receives the estimate and makes an advance payment (deposit). 
  • Already created job order comes to the moving team that is responsible for it. The head of the team provides adjustments if necessary. The customer gets the final estimate and signs the insurance contract the same way as the job contract. 
  • After the move, the customer pays for the moving company’s services in full and signs the certificate of completion with a digital signature.

Main Movers' CRM Modules

iMover CRM contains several modules responsible for separate parts of the work process. 

Internal telephony via the integration of the Twilio service

Each agent has their own phone number and cellular phone. When the company receives the call from the customer (call center solution), it redirects it to all the free agents’ phone numbers. When the agent responds to a call, it is canceled for all other devices/numbers. Besides, there is a function for redirecting a call from one agent to another. One more function of telephony is the provision of telephone connections between the company’s employees. 

Follow Up module

This module is responsible for automated notifications for customers

  • Pre-sale notifications are used when a customer placed an order yet didn’t provide advanced payment for it. The system sends letters by email and SMS to remind of the payment.
  • Post-sale notifications are used to notify a customer about services and promos after the successful completion of the job.

Efficiency of working time module

CRM allows managers and administrative staff to optimize workload and minimize driver downtime using the Gantt chart. The system allows you to organize the synchronization of tasks of different teams, i.e. the driver can be involved in other crossings while his current move at the packing stage. 

Relocation request widget (client-side module)

When creating a request to move through the site, the system synchronizes all planned requests to move and the client sees on what dates the move order is available. 

The widget also shows the number of completed transfers and the average check at the address specified by the client. When forming an application through the form, the client indicates the approximate amount of work and the system calculates the required number of specialists for relocation and calculates the approximate cost of services (packaging, installation, relocation, etc). 

Customer history module

CRM software automatically generates the client's history, which includes a history of contacts of the company's specialists with the client (calls, correspondence, sending SMS, and emails), a list of applications, and works on the client. 

Accrual of payment

With the custom CRM, the company automatically accrues salaries to employees of the company. An employee with administrative access can set the rate of employees, work schedule, and method of calculating salary (hourly/monthly rate). 

Online payment module

The client is able to pay the relocation deposit using a bank card. Payment for the move can be made by several methods including bank card, check, or cash.
