The same job, the same price
The engine is deterministic. Identical inputs produce an identical price, every time, on any day, from any member of your team. Not a guideline — a property of the system.
United States
Priced from the job. Not the quoter.
Most firms price out of one experienced person's head. That is inconsistent, slow, hard to explain, and it walks out of the door when they do. Cerrax computes the price from the job itself — so the same move costs the same thing whoever prices it.
Cerrax is live in the United Kingdom and Ireland today. We are not open here yet — join the list and we will tell you when we are, rather than sell you something we cannot yet support properly.
Every line explained
A price is never a single number you have to defend on instinct. Volume, distance, access, crew and time each show their contribution, so you can talk a customer through exactly what they are paying for.
Honest about what it does not know
Where local data is thin, the confidence band widens and says so, rather than inventing precision. A price that pretends to certainty it has not earned is worse than a range.

Pricing basis
Jobs here are priced on volume, which is the basis Cerrax computes from. Confirmed against local practice.
What shapes a price in United States
A mover here quotes a local move by the hour and crew, and a long-distance move from an itemised survey of the goods — the estimator's cube sheet, item by item in cubic feet, which is the basis Cerrax computes from. Federal rules for moves between states (49 CFR Part 375) require a written estimate that says whether it is binding, a physical or virtual survey unless waived in writing, and a valuation choice; each state regulates moves within it. Cerrax prices the United States and is not yet open there — a market opens when it is ready, not when its engine is.
- What does it mean for a price to be computed from the job?
- Every input is a fact about the move rather than a judgement about the customer: the volume being moved, the distance travelled, the access at each end, the crew and vehicle required, and the time the work takes. The same set of facts always produces the same price, so two people in the same firm quoting the same move cannot arrive at two figures.
- Does it stop me overriding the price?
- No. You can always override, and the override is recorded with your reason. The system proposes and you decide — the point is that the starting number is consistent and explainable, not that judgement is removed from the business.
- Is it a CRM?
- No, deliberately. Cerrax prices jobs, proves the price was right, and helps you run the job it priced — the diary, and which crew are on it. What it does not do is your customer records, contact history, pipelines, marketing or fleet management. Those stay with whatever you already run. It is a pricing layer that sits alongside your system rather than replacing it.
- How does it know what to charge in my area?
- It starts from a governed baseline and calibrates against your real jobs and their real outcomes. It never calibrates against what you or anyone else quoted — quoted prices are guesses, and fitting to guesses rebuilds the inconsistency the system exists to remove.
