CompuMove

CompuMove is integrated move-management and accounting software for professional moving and storage operators. It fits companies that need branch-aware configuration and connected sales, operations, and finance rather than a generic task app. The main decision is whether its tailored implementation and hosting choices match your operating model.

Overview

CompuMove combines sales management, scheduling and dispatch, move rating, forms, storage management, accounting, and financial reporting in one system. Each installation is configured for a company’s work types, pricing, forms, contracts, accounts, and branches. That makes it a strong candidate for established movers with defined procedures or several locations, while a small business seeking a standardized, self-serve setup may find the configuration process more than it needs.

CompuMove Systems was founded in Carlsbad, California, in 1984. It sells and supports the software only for businesses in the United States and Canada, covering regional movers, interstate haulers, multi-branch relocation companies, and van line or military agents.

Key features

SalesTools Pro manages leads, room-by-room cube estimates, move-change history, and estimate documents as PDFs. Windows tablet users can create signed estimates for email or printing, giving sales staff a practical field workflow. Untethered SalesTools Pro requires a Windows 10-compatible tablet; connected sales functions and Driver Mode run through an HTML5 session on any device that can use one.

Scheduling, dispatch, job management, inventory, and storage functions carry work from sale to execution. CRM tools can import leads from moving.com, movers.com, P4P, and a company’s own website, reducing manual entry for businesses receiving leads from several channels.

MoveBooks Pro links tariff rating with general-ledger revenue and commission distributions, so operational job data can reach accounting in a single step. It also integrates with PenSoft Payroll to transfer payroll expense, tax, and withholding data to the general ledger. Credit-card processing is stated to be PCI compliant. These connections favor operators that want financial reporting tied closely to job activity instead of maintaining separate spreadsheets or rekeying transactions.

Permissions can be set across more than 200 functions, with branch-specific levels for individual users. That granularity is useful for multi-branch companies, although it also means implementation needs deliberate role design. The maker includes live online setup and training, plus 90 days of free follow-up customization, and says support includes shared-screen online help and a person answering calls during regular business hours.

Pricing

CompuMove uses paid, custom pricing; the maker provides a quote rather than a public subscription rate. Every system includes live online setup and training and 90 days of follow-up customization. Buyers should budget for a business-specific implementation rather than comparing it directly with fixed-price, self-serve plans.

The custom model suits companies whose forms, contracts, pricing, branches, and accounting rules need to be built into the software. It is less suitable for a small mover that needs to activate a low-cost plan immediately or evaluate costs without a sales conversation.

Platforms

Version 8 can be delivered from the cloud or installed on a customer’s Windows server and network. Cloud CompuMove runs in an HTML5 browser, so staff can reach it from any device with a compatible browser. Windows office users can install an app-mode client for the cloud service; the maker says this improves local printer and document handling.

The cloud environment is hosted on privately managed servers in the Dallas area with redundant servers, backups, multiple security layers, and stated uptime above 99%. With an in-house installation, the customer takes responsibility for remote access, security, and data backups. Self-hosting therefore fits organizations prepared to operate that infrastructure, while cloud delivery reduces those duties.

Who it's for

CompuMove is aimed at moving and storage companies, including regional operators, interstate haulers, multi-branch relocation businesses, and van line or military agents. Its breadth and branch-level permissions are most valuable when sales, dispatch, storage, and accounting must share one configured system. The United States and Canada-only sales territory excludes businesses elsewhere.

Pros and cons

Pros

• Deep operational coverage: sales, estimating, dispatch, storage, inventory, accounting, and financial reporting share one platform.
• Extensive configuration: work types, prices, forms, contracts, accounts, branches, and more than 200 permission functions can be tailored.
• Connected finance: tariff rating, revenue, commissions, and PenSoft Payroll transfers reduce duplicate accounting entry.
• Flexible deployment: choose browser-based cloud access or a customer-managed Windows server.
• Included implementation support: live setup, training, and 90 days of follow-up customization are part of each system.

Cons

• Custom pricing: there is no public rate for straightforward budget comparison.
• Self-hosting overhead: customers must provide remote access, security, and backups for in-house deployments.
• Regional sales restriction: the product is sold and supported only in the United States and Canada.
• Windows dependency for untethered estimating: SalesTools Pro field use requires a Windows 10-compatible tablet.

Verdict

Choose CompuMove if you run a U.S. or Canadian moving and storage business that needs customized branch operations, integrated accounting, granular permissions, and a cloud or in-house deployment choice. Look elsewhere if you need transparent pricing, unrestricted geography, or a lightweight free plan with minimal implementation.
