New mobile-first CRM helps moving owners book faster, cut complexity, and save thousands.

SAN FRANCISCO - Californer -- Zip, the moving software designed for small moving companies, today announced the official launch of its mobile-first platform. Simple, affordable, and fast to onboard, Zip helps small movers run their business without the inflated costs or complexity of legacy platforms.

Zip's Founder and CEO, Vineet Thanedar, discovered the need for a better alternative through a happy accident when a friend and local moving company owner called him by mistake and vented about how frustrating his new software was. That wrong-number conversation sparked the idea for a simpler, more affordable solution.

"Small movers are often locked into using software that's overpriced, cumbersome to use, and takes weeks to even get familiar with," said Thanedar. "We built Zip so owners can focus on running operations smoothly and growing their businesses, instead of spending time navigating their way around clunky software or paying for features they'll never use. We're perfectly suited for small movers who want software that just works out of the box for them."

"We were booking jobs the same day we signed up," said Farzi Laghaei, owner of Sweet Lemon Moving Services. "We just love how simple it is to use."

Transparent, flexible pricing, and no contracts

Unlike alternative moving CRMs that start at several hundred dollars a month and require quarterly or annual payments, Zip offers transparent, mover-friendly pricing that starts at $45 per month with no contract, unlimited users and crew, and access to all the features owners need to run their operations. Zip also offers a 30-day free trial (no card required) to give owners time to switch from their current CRM.

Built for small movers from day one

Every plan includes Zip's core mover CRM with:

Fast quoting and customer-friendly estimates
Lead follow-ups
Dispatch, crew management, and job tracking
Customizable Bill of Lading and e-sign
Payroll generation
A fully featured native mobile app for owners and crew.

Owners get started within minutes and crews can easily use Zip on the road with little to no training. To make switching easier, Zip offers free migration from existing CRMs and 7-day-a-week support via text or phone. Owners will also like that their feedback is heard directly by the CEO and is often incorporated within hours or days.

"As a bootstrapped, independently owned company, Zip isn't driven by investor growth mandates. In so many ways, we're a small business too, just like our customers," Thanedar added. "Our focus is helping small movers grow to millions in revenue with software and tools that scale with them. And we want to grow alongside them."

Movers can try Zip free for 30 days at gozip.com.
