Choosing the best tool to grow your moving business:
SmartMoving vs. Oncue
SmartMoving is a robust software platform for moving companies. But offloading calls and lead responses to drive new business? That is a different story.
So, what’s the difference?
SmartMoving’s detailed tracking and storage capabilities are great. They work best for moving companies that are focused on long-distance, interstate moves, and storage services.
We do a lot of that, but our bread and butter is helping locally-focused moving companies grow their revenue with easy-to-learn software and a move booking team that acts like your double — taking calls, quoting jobs, and booking moves on your behalf 7 days a week.

Estimated cost to hire full time staff to match Oncue Booking coverage.
SmartMoving is complicated and had a lot of different functions I didn’t need. Over time I figured it out but Oncue was easier to learn and use.
I really depend on your team when we are not available. Oncue has been a lifesaver for my business.
