Priced from the job.
Not the quoter.
Anyone in your office can price a job the way your best quoter would — the same answer on a Monday, on a Friday, and from someone who started last week. Volume, distance and access, computed to the penny, with every hour showing.
Three months free. Every job, every quote, no card.
What we understood
No price on this step, deliberately — check the job is right before you are handed a number. Below is a real job already priced; put your own postcodes in to replace it.
Time, people and vans
about 7.6 hrs · 3 crew · 1 day · 2 Luton box vans
- Load property3.4 hrs

This is the day behind the price — and it is the screen nothing else in the industry shows you.
What it costs and what you charge
- 3-person crew, about 6.79 hrs at £116.00/hr£787.64

Price your own job above, then change the crew and watch the day and the number move together.
A real job, priced by the engine v5.119.0 and replayed here exactly as it was computed — for a reference firm running 4 Luton box vans, yard 8 miles out.
You've been pricing the same job differently for years.
Same job. Three prices. None of them wrong — and none of them right.
Not because that is the right number for your firm — it is computed from a reference firm's rates and yours will differ. Because it is the same number every time, and you can see every hour behind it.
And when a job overruns — when the crew takes two hours longer than the quote allowed — you don't know why. Was the volume wrong? The stairs? The parking? Did the customer add a piano you didn't know about? The money's gone either way, and the next quote will be just as uncertain.
Cerrax computes it. Same logic, every time. When a job overruns, you find out which part of the price to look at.
Then it runs the job it priced.
One record from the first enquiry to the review — not a price you copy into something else.

Review
Every customer asked, three days after the move, with your Google link.
Three things that drive the price.
Volume, distance, and access conditions. Computed consistently, from the job — not from memory.
Volume
How much to move
Room by room, or direct cubic metres. 157 item types tracked. The volume drives load time, crew size, and van configuration.
Distance
How far to go
Postcode to postcode, exact. Not a rough estimate. Distance drives transit time and mileage cost — precision here matters.
Conditions
What the job involves
Stairs, parking difficulty, long carry, furniture to dismantle. Each has your own rate — a long carry can be banded by the metre — and the time it adds shows in the day's plan.
Your rates, your margin, your call — you can override any price, and the override is kept, not swallowed. The engine does the arithmetic; it never takes the wheel.
The same week, run two ways.
Survey the job, then a spreadsheet, then a number you argue yourself into.
Survey the job. The price is the next screen.
The number depends on who quoted it, and what kind of day they were having.
The number comes from the volume, the distance and the access. Every time.
A customer asks why it costs that, and the honest answer is experience.
Every line traces to an hour, and every hour to a fact about the job.
A job overruns. You feel it in the month, and never find out which part was wrong.
You record what actually happened. The engine says which rate was off and proposes the correction.
An enquiry comes in through the website and becomes a callback in two days.
A price on your own page in two minutes, and the job is already captured.
“AI quoting” that can’t tell you, or your customer, where the number came from.
AI suggests the items from what you say or a photo of your list. You confirm them. The price is never the AI’s — every line shows its working.
Let them film it. You still price the job.
Your customer can add a video of their home from the quote page, or from a “film your home” link you send them. It plays beside your survey, so you can walk the house without driving to it.
You confirm the items as you watch, and each one is marked with the moment it was seen — so if a wardrobe is disputed later, you can point to the second it was on screen.
- The video is evidence, not a guess. Nothing in it becomes a price until you have confirmed what is there.
- The price still comes from the job. Volume, distance and access — worked out the same way it would be after a visit.
- It's on for every firm. Switch it off in one place if you would rather not ask.
What changes when the price comes from the job.
You can hand the quoting to someone else.
The logic lives in the system, not in one person's head. Train a new quoter in an afternoon.
The price doesn't change when you're on holiday.
Nothing gets left out of the price.
Crew time, mileage and access are priced the same way on every job — from the job, not from memory. When a job overruns, you can see which figure was off and change it.
You can quote without padding.
When every figure is worked out from the job, there's less to cover with a cushion — and padding loses the jobs it was meant to protect.
It runs in a browser — phone, tablet or laptop, nothing to install and no app store. Add it to your home screen and it opens like an app.
One engine. Three ways to use it.
Whether you quote jobs, run a website, or build the software that does — the price comes from the job, not the quoter.
No CRM? Run your quoting — and the job — on Cerrax.
Capture the job, price it, send the quote, then book it, put the crew on it and get paid. Nothing to wire up.
See the productNo website? We'll build you one that prices.
A page of your own with a working quote form on it — or the same form on the site you already have. Your branding, your rates, a deposit when they accept and the balance after.

Deterministic, explainable, auditable pricing behind your own workflow. We price; you keep everything else.
For platforms →The pricing gets better with every job.
When a job takes longer than quoted, you record it. Cerrax identifies which rate was off — load time, access, distance — and proposes a correction. You approve it. The next quote is more accurate.
Your pricing improves as your completed jobs add up.
Not from industry averages. From your crew, your routes, your reality.
Your experience sets the rates. The engine just applies them the same way every time.
Calibration means tuning the engine to your real costs — your crew speeds, your routes, your overheads. You keep that work, whatever you decide.
Same job, same price — this year, next year, to the penny.
Every quote is replayable: the price can be reproduced from its inputs, exactly, at any time. That's not a promise, it's how the engine is built.
