Client story: a local moving company

No more jobs lost between sales, operations, and billing.

A local moving company kept track of its jobs through conversations and emails. People worked hard to keep each other in the loop, but jobs still slipped between departments. Here's what we built, and what changed.

Before

Every job lived in someone's inbox.

Sales found the work, checked with operations about crews, and booked the move. From there, the job passed from person to person by conversation and email:

Sales asked operations whether a crew was free, then booked the date
When a customer called to change the date, someone had to pass that along, and make sure the old day was freed up
Larger jobs needed their contracts reviewed before the move was confirmed
Operations did the move and had to let accounts receivable know it was done
Accounts receivable sent the invoice and had to remember to follow up on payment

Each handoff depended on someone sending the right message and someone else seeing it. Most of the time it worked. When it didn't, jobs were missed, rescheduled jobs never reached operations, and finished jobs never reached accounts receivable, so billing was delayed or missed entirely.

What we built

Every job belongs somewhere, and it's always in front of someone.

We kept the way the company already worked, sales to operations to accounts receivable, and gave each job a place to live from the first call to the final payment.

One place for the job details

Sales enters the job once: the customer, the move, the date, and the estimate. Everyone works from the same details from then on.

Scheduling against real capacity

Sales can see which days have crews available. When a customer changes the date, the old day frees up and the new day fills, without anyone sending a message.

Larger jobs get a second look

Jobs over a set size go to contract review and approval automatically. Once approved, they land on operations' schedule.

Completion goes straight to billing

When operations signs off on a finished move, the job moves to accounts receivable. It can't sit in a crew lead's head or an unread email.

Payments followed up on time

Once invoiced, a job waits in an awaiting-payment list. If the payment doesn't come in time, accounts receivable gets a reminder to follow up.

A clear end for every job

Paid jobs move to complete. Unpaid ones can move to collections. Either way, nothing just disappears.

What changed

Jobs stopped disappearing between departments.

Every job now has a home and a next step, and someone is always responsible for it. A rescheduled move reaches operations because there's only one schedule. A finished move reaches billing because signing off on it is what sends it there.

It's a pattern we see in a lot of businesses: the work itself is fine, and the trouble is in the handoffs. Once a job can't fall out of sight, people stop spending their day chasing each other.

Where we stopped

There was more we could have built.

We built the job details, the flow between departments, and the tracking. That was the part that mattered most, and the company saw the difference as soon as jobs stopped going missing.

The system could have grown well beyond that, and we said so. But there's always more technology we could add. The owner decides when the next step is worth the investment, and our job is to make sure that whatever we build makes a real difference to the business.

Try it yourself

Follow the same move both ways.

Both demos are simplified and use sample data. The names and numbers are made up. They show the business case, not the full system.

Before: by conversation and email

Book the move, handle a reschedule, get the contract reviewed, do the move, and try to get it billed, passing everything along by phone and email.

After: in the system

Run the same move from sale to payment and watch it pass from department to department, always with someone responsible for it.
