Pioneer of the Ohio startup scene, moving platform MoveEasy Instant powers moving companies’ websites to turn them into a 24/7 virtual sales team
Ohio, March, 2017 - MoveEasy, a revolutionary startup from Columbus, Ohio, is powering moving companies to increase their sales output. The newly launched MoveEasy Instant is a live local pricing tool that allows companies to provide accurate instant prices to their clients directly from their websites.
MoveEasy Instant helps moving companies - offer a quicker, more efficient and transparent service for their clients. Companies can set rules on pricing, availability and other areas to make selling moving services easier than ever before. The tool integrates with the most widely used CRM tools in the industry and allows easy customization to fit the tool to any existing website within minutes.
“At MoveEasy, we focus on building the technology that automates any moving process,” says Venkatesh Ganapathy, CEO and Founder of MoveEasy. “Whether that means helping realtors, property managers, HR managers and many others guide their clients through every step of their move or helping moving companies enhance their user experience with their clients, we impact every aspect of the moving process.”
The moving industry - valued at $17bn in 2016 - is ripe for disruption and trends in this area are beginning to move. The traditional horrors of cowboy movers are starting to disappear as empowered customers want and expect more from their moving experience. Yet, while there are many platforms helping consumers to find their perfect movers, there is little help for those that do the actual moving. Now, with MoveEasy, that is set to change.
“MoveEasy has its sights firmly set on helping those moving companies that are supplying the moving service,” Ganapathy continues. “We know how much work those companies put into helping their clients and we want to help them make it as quick and painless a process as possible. Traditionally supplying instant quotes has been very difficult, but our new tool balances the complexity of move related information with the simplicity of usage, for both parties, and makes troublesome moving a thing of the past.”
The moving industry is a growing one in the United States, valued at an impressive $17bn. Between the years 2011 and 2016, the industry experienced three percent growth per year, resulting in more than 14,800 businesses employing over 100,000 people nationwide. Improved economic conditions have added a boost to the housing market, too, meaning that the moving industry is predicted to experience significant growth over the next five years.
MoveEasy is at the forefront of Ohio’s startup scene, blazing a trail for other startups to follow. Columbus, where MoveEasy is headquartered, is already celebrated as a new frontier for startups. Similarly, both Cincinnati and Clevelandare enjoying economic resurgences due to growth in their respective startup sectors. In particular, Cincinnati enjoyed exceptional growth between 2015 and 2016, jumping from 35th place to 16th out of 40 metro areas in the Kauffman Index of Entrepreneurship.
“We love being part of the burgeoning Ohioan startup scene, which is now taking off in previously unseen ways,” Ganapathy adds. “We are excited to help lead the way for other would-be startup founders in this great state. Sure, it might not be as well known as Silicon Valley, or Austin, but the potential and talent is here, particularly in cities like Columbus, Cincinnati and Cleveland. Ohio is a great state for entrepreneurism and it’s great to see that finally being recognized.”
