Built for UK removals companies

Every move, from first enquiry to final signature.

Orca Removals replaces the spreadsheets, the paper job sheets and the WhatsApp threads. Survey the property, price it while you are still standing in the hallway, book the crew and the van, and invoice the customer before the kettle is unpacked.

The admin is costing you more than the diesel

Most removals firms lose their margin between the enquiry and the invoice, not on the road. These are the gaps Orca Removals closes.

Quotes going out days late

The customer who gets a price the same evening usually wins the job. Manual volume calculations put you behind the firm down the road.

A diary only one person understands

When the schedule lives in a wall planner or one manager's head, double bookings and idle vans are inevitable — especially at month end.

Materials that vanish

Cartons, tape, blankets and covers walk off the van and never make it onto an invoice. Small leaks, repeated weekly, become real money.

Damage disputes with no evidence

Without dated condition photos and a signed inventory, a claim about a scratched sideboard becomes your word against theirs.

What's inside

One app for the whole moving business

Everything a British removals company does in a week, in a single system your office staff and your crews both actually want to use.

Surveys & Instant Quoting

Price a move properly without a second visit, whether you survey by video, on site or over the phone.

  • Room-by-room inventory with cubic-foot volume
  • Live video surveys, no customer app needed
  • Access notes: stairs, parking, lift, long carry
  • Branded PDF quote sent while you're on the drive

Diary & Job Scheduling

A shared move diary that shows what is booked, what is provisional and what capacity is still free.

  • Drag-and-drop week and month planner
  • Provisional holds with automatic expiry
  • Clash and overbooking warnings
  • Packing days linked to the move date

Crew & Vehicle Management

Match the right porters and the right lorry to every job, and know instantly when something changes.

  • Crew rotas, holidays and availability
  • Vehicle capacity, MOT and service reminders
  • Driver hours and job allocation
  • Instant reassignment when someone calls in sick

Packing Materials & Storage

Track every carton and blanket, bill for what was actually used, and manage containerised storage.

  • Materials issued, returned and charged
  • Stock levels with low-stock alerts
  • Storage containers and recurring billing
  • Barcode-ready inventory labels

Move-Day Crew App

Your team runs the whole day from a phone, and the office sees progress without ringing the driver.

  • Digital job sheets and inventory checklists
  • Condition photos before and after loading
  • Customer signature capture on delivery
  • Works offline and syncs when signal returns

Invoicing & Payments

Deposits on booking, balance on completion, and a clear view of what each move actually earned.

  • Deposit requests and card payment links
  • Automatic balance and overdue reminders
  • VAT-ready invoices and accounting export
  • Profit per move, per crew and per vehicle

Survey on Tuesday. Priced and sent on Tuesday.

Speed converts. Orca Removals turns a walk round the house into a fully itemised, professionally branded quote before you have driven back to the yard.

  • A furniture library that does the maths

    Tap the items in each room and the cubic footage builds itself, with your own volumes for anything unusual — pianos, gym kit, garden machinery.

  • Your pricing rules, applied consistently

    Mileage bands, crew rates, packing services, weekend and peak-date uplifts, congestion and ULEZ charges — set once and every quote follows them.

  • Good, better, best options

    Offer self-pack, part-pack and full-pack side by side. Customers pick their own level of service instead of negotiating your price down.

  • Follow-ups that happen without you

    Automatic chasers go out on day three and day seven, and you see the moment a customer opens the quote.

Move day, under control

The office knows where every van is. So does the customer.

Crews work from their phones, the office watches the day unfold on one screen, and the customer gets the updates that stop them ringing you every hour.

  • Live job status and vehicle tracking

    Loading, in transit, unloading, complete — updated by the crew as it happens, not written up the next morning.

  • Condition photos that end disputes

    Time-stamped, geotagged images of items and both properties, stored against the job and available the day a claim arrives.

  • Paperwork done on the doorstep

    Inventory checklists, waivers and the customer's signature captured digitally, then emailed to everyone automatically.

  • Updates by WhatsApp, SMS or Telegram

    Confirmation, crew-on-the-way and completion messages go out on the channel your customer already uses.

How it works

Four steps, one thread, every job

The enquiry that lands on Monday is the same record you invoice on Friday — nothing is retyped along the way.

Capture the enquiry

Web form, phone call or portal lead lands straight in your pipeline with the addresses, the date and how they found you.

Survey and quote

Walk the house or run a video survey, build the inventory, and send a branded priced quote the same day.

Book crew and van

Accepting the quote takes the deposit and drops the job into the diary with the right team, vehicle and materials.

Move, sign and invoice

The crew runs the day from the app, the customer signs on the doorstep, and the balance invoice goes out automatically.

Who it's for

From one van to a multi-depot operation

Man & Van

Quote fast, look professional and stop losing jobs to slow replies.

Domestic Removals

Full household moves with packing, materials and storage handled end to end.

Office & Commercial

Phased relocations, crate hire and out-of-hours work with clear reporting.

Storage Operators

Containerised storage, recurring billing and inventory you can actually find.

“We were quoting off a spreadsheet and losing work because the price took two days. Now the customer has it before we get back to the yard, and the crews stopped ringing the office every twenty minutes.”

Questions

The things removals firms ask us first

Yes. It scales from a single van up to multi-depot firms. Smaller operators usually start with surveys, quoting, the diary and invoicing, then switch on crew and materials management as they take on staff.

Yes. We import your customers, quotes and job history from spreadsheets or a CSV export from your existing system, and set up your pricing rules with you before you go live, so your first quote out of Orca is priced exactly the way you price today.

Yes. Crews use the mobile app for job sheets, inventory checklists, condition photos and customer signatures. It keeps working when the signal drops and syncs everything back once the van is in range again.

You send a link, they open it on their phone and walk you through the property. You tick items into a room-by-room inventory as you go, and the volume and price build up live. The customer does not need to install anything.

Customer data is held on UK and EU infrastructure and processed in line with UK GDPR. Our privacy policy sets out what we collect, how long we keep it and your rights in full.

Yes. Removals and our Transport & Logistics platform share the same customer records, vehicles and invoicing, so a firm doing both household moves and contract deliveries runs one account rather than two systems.

See it running on one of your own jobs

Give us a recent move and we will build the survey, the quote and the crew plan in front of you. Thirty minutes, no obligation, and you keep the quote.
