Increase revenue, improve crew and truck utilisation, and run a more profitable moving operation with better control over moves from enquiry to completion. OctopusPro helps you convert more leads into booked work, quotes through approval faster, improve schedule efficiency, and reduce administrative waste as your removalist business grows.

Removalist Crew Scheduling and Rota Management

Keep your movers fully utilized, reduce scheduling chaos, and run moves and mobile crew jobs from one organised calendar. Stay organised and improve moving operation efficiency by managing multiple removalist crews’ schedules and moving bookings from one calendar. Coordinate moves, moving visits, and follow-up appointments while keeping customers informed and your team fully prepared.

Scheduling and Dispatch Board for Moves and Mobile Crews

Use OctopusPro’s scheduling and dispatch board to manage moving appointments, moves, unassigned work, and mover (movers) workloads from one live calendar. Drag and drop moving bookings, scan moves in list view, match work to the right crew / mover, and keep the day moving without juggling spreadsheets, whiteboards, or disconnected calendars. See Calendar – Scheduling & Dispatch, Calendar List View, and Find Availability.

Daily, Weekly, and Monthly Calendar Views

Daily, Weekly, and Monthly Moving Schedule Views

Get better visibility of workload, capacity, and bottlenecks so you can plan ahead instead of reacting at the last minute. Use flexible calendar views to plan moves by day, week, or month. This makes it easier to manage workload, monitor crew and truck capacity, avoid scheduling conflicts, and keep your operation running on time.

Flexible Calendar Setup for Your Workflow

With OctopusPro’s accept and decline move request workflows, fieldworker move request management tools, and settings to allow moving crews to accept or decline move requests, movers can review new assignments, accept suitable work, decline moves that do not fit their availability or moving service area, provide decline reasons, and suggest alternative times when enabled.

Automatically Match the Right Crew or Truck to Each Moving Move

Improve first-time fix rates, strengthen service quality, and assign moves more accurately from the start. OctopusPro helps you match each moving booking to the right mover using a combination of skills, moving services offered, and eligibility, together with real-time availability, working hours, leave, time blocks, synced calendars, and map-based moving service areas to make smarter scheduling and dispatch decisions. This is especially useful when moves need to be assigned based on both capability and real moving coverage, including specialist work such as move assessments, office relocation and furniture removal moves, moves, or commercial moving.

Crew-Based Scheduling and Moving Service Matching

Make crew capabilities easier to deploy, improve move accuracy, and define more clearly which movers can perform which types of work. With skills-based move assignment by mover services and eligibility, configure mover profiles around the services they offer and the work they are approved to handle. This helps you assign moving bookings based on move type, move type, truck requirements, and crew capability, and internal requirements, and can be extended with profile data and custom fields to record things like truck types, crew sizes, packing options, access requirements, or other service-specific criteria.

Real-Time Technician Availability

Real-Time Removalist Crew Availability

Avoid double moving bookings, schedule with greater confidence, and give your office team a clearer view of who is genuinely available for new work. With real-time crew availability, OctopusPro checks each mover’s working hours and live calendar availability, including unavailable periods and breaks, so bookable time slots reflect actual capacity. When enabled, it only shows customers time slots where at least one matching mover is available, helping you make better dispatch decisions, reduce scheduling conflicts, and keep the day running more smoothly.

Map-Based Moving Service Areas and Coverage Control

Prevent out-of-area moving bookings, reduce wasted travel, and assign moves based on real moving coverage. With map-based fieldworker moving service areas and coverage rules, OctopusPro lets you define precise territories, multiple service regions, and overlapping coverage where needed. This helps you match moves to the right movers based on actual coverage, apply a default travel radius when required, and avoid moving bookings outside the areas you support.

With real-time reporting across moving bookings, movers, customers, invoices, payments, sales, and operational activity, you can quickly find the data you need, monitor trends, export reports when required, and maintain clear visibility across your entire operation.

Keep Working Online or Offline

Reduce delays, keep moves moving, and give your team more reliable access to the information they need, even when internet coverage is weak or temporarily unavailable. OctopusPro lets office staff and moving crews manage moving bookings, appointments, customer details, move information, and mover tasks from anywhere, whether they are in the moving operation, on the road, or on-site. With offline capability, moving crews can continue working in the app and update move details without interruption, then sync their changes once the connection is restored. This helps maintain productivity in the field, supports uninterrupted service, and reduces the risk of delays caused by poor connectivity.

For customers, this is especially valuable if you offer repeat or recurring services, as they can access your business more easily and receive push notifications through your branded app, helping build stronger familiarity, trust, and long-term loyalty.
