What Cerrax does
- The price is worked out from the job — volume, distance, access, crew and time — so the same job gets the same price whoever quotes it.
- Every figure shows its working, line by line, and you can always override it.
- Priced by how much you quote, never per seat, so the whole team can use it.
- One tool from the quote to the crew: the quotation, the deposit, the diary and the day itself.
i-mve does not publish its prices. Cerrax is priced by how much you quote, from €45 a month. i-mve prices from rates the firm sets up; Cerrax works the price out from the job's facts — volume, distance, access, crew and time — and shows the working. i-mve includes a CRM or lead pipeline; Cerrax deliberately does not — it prices and runs the job, not the customer relationship.
