We have an industry based software system, called MOVEWARE. This is a fantastic software system designed by the Removals Industry. It allows our business to be more efficent and has a huge database connnected to a local server. Customers can also request a quote through our website and the information/request that they enter through our website is entered straight through to the software and we are sent an email showing a customer has requested a quote. All the details are in the database and the software allows our salesman to out a quotation together (along with an inventory) which automatically generates. The quotation can be emailed from this software. Operations use they software to produce daily diarys, waybills, delivery dockets, inventories. This softoware costs around $25,000 to purchase.
