Free tools, comparisons and working documents
- How DownsizeRoute compares with the other tools on a downsizing jobSenior move managers usually shop three different categories of software, and only one of them is organized around the floor plan of the unit the client is moving into.
- DownsizeRoute vs SmartMovingSmartMoving is aimed at moving companies running trucks and crews, while DownsizeRoute is aimed at the manager who has to decide what fits the new unit before any truck is booked.
- DownsizeRoute vs MagicplanMagicplan is a field capture tool for producing a floor plan of a space, while DownsizeRoute is a decision tool for choosing which of a client's furniture that space can hold.
- DownsizeRoute vs JobberJobber is general purpose field service software for small home service businesses, while DownsizeRoute is narrow software for the specific work of moving an older adult into a smaller home.
- Calculators for pricing and scheduling a downsizing jobTwo working calculators for the numbers that decide a senior move engagement: what the job pays after crew and disposition costs, and how many weeks it needs before move day.
- Job Margin CalculatorEnter the room count, your crew hours per room, your loaded crew cost, and the disposition spend, and see what a downsizing package actually leaves you.
- Lead Time PlannerFind out how many weeks a downsize needs by starting from the decision hours the client can sustain rather than from the date the community wants.
- Working resources for senior move managersEverything here is meant to be used on a live job: two calculators, three honest software comparisons, and a fit sheet you can print for the next community tour.
- New Unit Fit SheetA one page working template you fill in on the community tour so the keeper list is decided by measurements instead of by argument.
