Cerrax vs Movermate

How Cerrax and Movermate compare for moving companies in New Zealand, from what each one publishes — including where Movermate is stronger.

Written by Cerrax, so we're not neutral. Everything here comes from each product's own public pages and review listings, linked in the footnotes, checked on 28 September 2026. If we've got something wrong, email hello@cerrax.io and we'll correct it.

Where Movermate is stronger

CRM and business management platform for moving companies in Australia and New Zealand, from lead capture to reporting.

  • Built by an Australian removals operator (OzWide Movers) and sold in both Australia and New Zealand.
  • Published pricing with a no-card free trial.
  • Live crew location tracking and two-way SMS in the higher tiers.

Where Cerrax differs

  • 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.

Movermate publishes its prices in another currency (Australian Dollar). Cerrax is priced by how much you quote, from $89 a month. Movermate publishes nothing about working out a price from the job; Cerrax does exactly that, and shows the working. Movermate includes a CRM or lead pipeline; so does Cerrax — enquiries, a pipeline and follow-ups, on the same record as the priced job. Movermate is rated 5.0 on Capterra from 1 review; Cerrax has no reviews yet.

Cerrax in New Zealand

Currency
NZD
Distance quoted in
kilometres

A weatherboard villa in an Auckland suburb going down State Highway 1 to Hamilton: a moving truck with a tail-lift, a sloping section at one end, and a long carry from the road to the front door at the other. Cerrax prices it from the villa's volume, the open-road kilometres, and the time the slope and the carry add to the crew's day.

The vehicles it plans with here:

  • Small removal truck (18–20 m³, class 1)
  • Large rental truck with tail-lift (24–28 m³, class 1)
  • Removal truck (40–45 m³, class 2)
