Project Management Software
for Commercial Movers
Over three decades working in the commercial moving field, Fox Wyndrum Associates has developed the most comprehensive, end-to-end moving and storage software management system available today. Its cloud-based Commercial Moving System (CMS) propels office and industrial movers and riggers large and small from the days of magnet board dispatching and triple-time input to a seamless single-entry flow from order entry through billing, payroll, and profitability reporting.
Handling simple single-man work orders to multi-crew, multi-day, multi-location business relocations, CMS is a robust, browser-based application that delivers powerful, flexible project management tools across your commercial move operations.
Managers have full oversight of all pending, in process, and completed work across even the most complex projects with job costs and billing data available in real time. For both a simple one-day load and deliver to an ongoing multi-crew office move, CMS delivers simplicity, visibility, control, and oversight to commercial moving.
For commercial movers offering Designer Services & White Glove Delivery & Installation, CMS leverages the power of its Enterprise, MobileManager, MoveAudit, ClientConnect, and Storage Inventory integrations for full visibility and control to clients and project managers.
MOVING SOFTWARE MODULES
CMS continues to evolve, introducing with new models and features regularly. These are available “a la carte” to meet the needs of individual clients, including:
PAPERLESS PROCESSING FOR COMMERCIAL MOVERS
In an historically “paper heavy” industry, Commercial Movers are no strangers to bulky “job folders” filled with quotes, photos, plans, approvals, multi-copy work orders
and change orders, invoices, and more. And with the costly, time-consuming creation of each of one of these comes the real possibility of data entry error. With CMS, data
is captured once, and then carried through from quote, to work order creation, to dispatch, to customer acceptance, to billing, and to payroll.
CMS allows users to upload documents and photographs and other files at the customer, quote, project, and work order levels. Quote and onsite job management and crew
can capture photos and upload paperwork directly from the mobile applications. Signatures are stored electronically. Invoices can be emailed to recipients with all supporting
job documents, photos, and work orders attached in a single PDF. Centralized storage means that all job data and attachments are readily available to any authorized
user, during and long after the job is completed.
SYSTEM-WIDE CUSTOMIZATION FOR SPECIALIZED MOVE OPERATIONS
As a proven moving software company for over 30 years, Fox Wyndrum Associates, Inc. knows that no two commercial moving operations are exactly the same. Rather than adapting their workflow to a fixed software process, CMS clients are able to adapt the software to their workflow.
CMS’ foundation is built on a dynamic, powerful base of user-defined data elements, including work types, van types, materials/equipment categories and details, move
types, and more. The project and work order creation offers the flexibility for processing orders according to the clients’ particular needs, with multiple options for billing
formats and reporting.
And sometimes, that’s not even enough! Each deployment of CMS is an individual implementation that can be fully customized to accommodate even the most complex
work process or data integration. Our development specialists speak the commercial moving language and have successfully created highly-specialized functionality for
many CMS clients.
Whether the out-of-the-box solution is more than enough for an operation, or limited or more customization is needed, CMS is the only application developed specifically
for the office and commercial moving and rigging industry.
SOFTWARE WITH CLOUD-BASED SCALABILITY
CMS is a secure, cloud-based software-as-a-service solution, both quickly deployed and customizable. Utilizing the Amazon AWS cloud server environment, each client’s
instance of CMS is configured on a highly available and scalable virtual private server to meet their unique requirements. Each server is supported and maintained by Fox
Wyndrum Associates staff who act as a single point of contact for all issues. The AWS servers are monitored 24x7x365 for optimal performance and include the latest in
security protection and external cloud backup services. Preferred use of Secure VPN connections to each client’s network provides encrypted transfer of all data between
CMS and the users as well as direct control of internal printers used for CMS document output.
CMS requires only an internet connection and web browser to use and is immediately available to authorized users in any location as authorized by each client.
The CMS application itself is quickly scalable with client-managed users and permissions and integration options:
- User access controlled by in-house administrators
- Module and reporting access levels controlled at the user level for flexibility
- System-maintained record audit tracking
- Readily integrated with third-party accounting systems for billing, accounts payable, payroll, and customer and employee data exchange
