Instead of Moveware
Stop renting Moveware. Own your removals system.
We build your version around your rates, crews, trucks and storage terms, bring your Moveware jobs across and run it for you. You keep the database and decide how it works.
Moveware does not publish its prices. Each mover is quoted, and the crew app, storage, international work and payroll are modules on top.

What the quote covers
One quote for the core system, then the modules
Moveware quotes each business rather than publishing a price list. It describes itself as a customisable system for the whole moving and storage industry, so what you pay depends on the pieces you take and the set-up work to fit them.
A private quote
No public price list, so you cannot compare the cost of your set-up with anyone else’s before you sign.
The crew app
Surveys and inventories on the phone run through a separate companion app that syncs back to the office system.
Storage
Storage accounts, containers, locations and storage billing sit in their own part of the system.
International moves
Customs and container registers, agent quotes and agent accounts are a separate international module.
Payroll and online documents
Payroll for Australian crews and online quotes, surveys, invoices and reviews are further pieces to take on.
Set-up and changes
A system built to be customised means set-up work to fit it to your business, and more of it each time your fields, reports or documents change.

Quotes
Never let a quote go cold
Every open quote with its stage, worked out from your own follow-up and expiry periods.
- check See which quotes to follow up today and which have expired but are still open
- check Price a job from its surveyed hours at your own rate
- check Refuse a booking with no written quote sent, or a quote past its date
- check Know your win rate and value won by lead source, and why you lose
Crews and trucks
Roster the fortnight without breaking the rules
Who is on which job, in which truck, for how many hours, checked as you book it.
- check Stop a heavy vehicle driver being rostered past 12 hours in a day
- check Catch a licence that lapses before the driver’s next move
- check Warn when a move will not fit the trucks on it, or a truck is on two jobs
- check Compare estimated hours with actual hours to sharpen your estimators
Storage
Bill storage and chase it properly
Containers billed monthly in advance, with the overdue steps your storage terms set.

- check Know who is due an overdue notice, a final notice, or may now have goods disposed of
- check Refuse a sale or disposal before the notice period has run
- check Find long-term storers on old rates and the monthly gap
The paperwork

- check Flag a price change agreed only by phone before you invoice it
- check Record transit insurance offered and the customer’s answer on every booking
- check Hold high-value items until the customer declares them in writing
- check Record the customer’s consent before a move goes to a linehaul carrier

Ten questions your business can answer today
These run on a fictional mover’s records. Moveware has its own reports. The difference here is that the owner asks their own questions and changes the rules themselves.
Switching
How to switch from Moveware
The move involves exporting your job list, checking and loading the records, and running both systems side by side before you switch off Moveware.
- 1
Export your job list
In Moveware, export a job list report to Excel, then save it as a CSV file. The report includes customers, jobs, addresses, dates, status, quote amounts, volumes and storage flags. Check with Moveware if you are unsure how to export the report your account allows. Room-by-room inventories, crew history, invoices and storage billing history are not in that report.
- 2
Run a test import
Load the job list using the import's test run before bringing records into the live database. The import is designed for a Moveware job list and can bring across customers, jobs, addresses, dates, status, quote amounts, volumes and storage flags. Use the test to see how your records fit before you commit the import.
- 3
Review flagged records
Check the test results for records the import flags, and resolve issues before loading the records for use. Pay particular attention to whether your customer and job details, dates, status, quotes, volumes and storage flags have been read as expected. The report does not include inventories, crew history, invoices or storage billing history, so decide which of those records you need to bring across separately.
- 4
Run both systems side by side
Keep Moveware running while you use the new system for a short period. Compare the records and day-to-day work in both, including jobs, quotes, crew and storage. Use this period to catch gaps in your imported records and make sure your own fields and rules are set up as expected before you rely on the new system alone.
- 5
Switch off Moveware
When you have checked the imported records and are ready to run on the new system, stop using Moveware for day-to-day work. Keep in mind that the import covers the job list report, not every part of your history. Make sure you have dealt with any records you chose to bring across separately before you close out your use of Moveware.
Where the real effort goes
The import gets the job list across, but the real work is usually mapping your own fields and rules, then deciding which history to bring beyond the report. Inventories, crew history, invoices and storage billing history need separate attention. If you have Enterprise DNA install and run the system, they handle this migration work as part of the switch.

Questions
Instead of Moveware, answered
Moveware is built for movers. Why would we change? expand_more
If it does everything you need at a price you are happy with, you may not. The reason to own your version is control: your quote, storage and crew rules enforced the way you run them, your records in a database you hold, and answers to your own questions without waiting on a report. We start with the jobs that do not fit today.
Can our crews still use a phone on the day? expand_more
The free version is run from the office. Enterprise DNA builds a crew phone app for surveys, inventories, photos and sign-off into your custom version, writing back to the same records.
What about international moves and customs? expand_more
The free version handles local, country, interstate and office moves and storage. Customs paperwork, container registers and overseas agents are built into your custom version if you move goods offshore.
Can we bring our Moveware jobs across? expand_more
Yes. Moveware exports its reports to Excel, and the free version imports a job list after a test run: customers, jobs, addresses, dates, status, quotes, volumes and storage. Room-by-room inventories, invoices and storage billing history are not in that report, so we bring those across as part of your switch.
Is the fatigue and storage checking legal advice? expand_more
No. It checks your records against the limits and notice periods you set, using the heavy vehicle standard hours and your storage terms as the starting point, and refuses action before those periods have run. The rules are settings, so they match your state, New Zealand and your own contract.
