Where Cerrax differs

  • Every figure shows its working, line by line, and you can always override it.

SmartMoving publishes its prices in another currency (US Dollar). Cerrax is priced by how much you quote, from $69 a month. SmartMoving also says it works out a price from the job's facts; Cerrax does too, and shows the working behind every figure. SmartMoving includes a CRM or lead pipeline; so does Cerrax — inquiries, a pipeline and follow-ups, on the same record as the priced job. SmartMoving is rated 4.9 on Capterra from 143 reviews; Cerrax has no reviews yet.

Cerrax in Canada

Distance quoted in
kilometres

A semi in Toronto's east end moving up the 401 to Ottawa: a box truck, a crew of three, and a condo tower at the other end where the freight elevator has to be booked. Cerrax prices it from the cube in cubic feet, the highway kilometres and the wait for that elevator slot — the crew's hours shown line by line.

The vehicles it plans with here:

  • Cargo van (246 cu ft)
  • 15-ft box truck (764 cu ft)
  • 20-ft box truck (1,016 cu ft)
  • 26-ft box truck (1,682 cu ft)
