What Moving Companies Can Expect

• Quote requests: Customers provide origin, destination, apartment size, and get a preliminary estimate.
• Scheduling: Moving dates booked with crew size and truck type from availability data.
• Packing services: Add-on services (packing, piano moving, storage) offered during quote.
• Day-of updates: Customer gets arrival ETA and crew contact info via WhatsApp.

Results vary by service area, booking volume, and integration scope. We calculate expected ROI before you commit.

Transparent Pricing (Setup + Monthly, excl. VAT)

• Quote in 24 hours after a 30-45 minute discovery call.
• Typical timeline: LITE ~1 week, GROWTH 3-5 weeks, ENTERPRISE 4-7 weeks.
• ROI is calculated in Week 0; payback often appears in 2-4 weeks for teams with 30+ inquiries/day.
• GDPR-compliant EU hosting; data not used for training.

ROI and Business Impact (Realistic)

Chatbot pays off when inquiry volume is high and response speed affects conversion. The main drivers are:

• Inquiries/day and % after hours
• Automation rate for repetitive questions
• Response-time impact on conversion
• Average order value or lead value
• Integration scope (CRM/calendar/payments)

Quick estimate:

Monthly benefit = (automated inquiries x minutes saved x cost/minute)
                + (recovered inquiries x conversion rate x avg order value)
                - monthly fee
Payback = setup fee / monthly benefit

Teams with 30+ inquiries/day often see payback in 2-4 weeks; lower volume usually takes 1-3 months. Actual results depend on conversion, ticket size, and scope.
