Price Every Move Accurately, Automatically
Three pricing models, six seasonal rate tiers, 12 fuel strategies, and 16 configurable fee types. Elromco's pricing engine handles the math so your quotes are accurate and your margins are protected.
Built for the Complexity of Moving
Moving company pricing is harder than most industries. Different rates for different days, crew sizes, distances, and services. Our pricing engine handles all of it.
Three Pricing Models
Hourly for local moves, flat rate for predictable pricing, and weight-based tariffs for long distance. Switch between models per job or set defaults by move type.
Seasonal Rate Calendars
Six rate tiers from Discount to High Peak. Assign any date to any tier and the system automatically applies the correct rate. Set minimum hours per date to protect your revenue on busy days.
12 Fuel Surcharge Strategies
Percentage of labor, flat per job, flat per truck, per mile, per hundred weight, and more. Pick the strategy that matches how your fuel costs actually work.
16 Configurable Fee Types
Elevator fees, long carry, stairs, shuttle service, bulky items, piano, storage-in-transit, and more. Each fee can be a flat amount or percentage, and every one is optional.
Three Ways to Price a Move
Every moving company prices differently. Our pricing engine supports all three industry-standard models — and lets you mix them across move types.
Hourly
Local moves
The standard for local moving. Set rates per crew size and truck count across six seasonal tiers. The quote shows customers a time estimate with a price range so they know the minimum and maximum before booking.
- Separate labor and travel time rates
- Configurable minimum hours per rate tier
- Rate tables by crew size (1-4+ movers) and truck count
- Automatic tax calculation on labor and travel independently
Flat Rate
Predictable pricing
A single price based on move size and distance. Customers prefer the certainty, and your team avoids disputes about hours. The engine factors in elevation, parking distance, and volume discounts automatically.
- Base price calculated from move size and distance
- Elevation surcharges per waypoint (stairs, floors)
- Parking distance surcharges for long carries
- Tiered volume discounts for larger moves
Long Distance
Weight and mileage tariffs
For interstate and cross-country moves. The engine supports both mileage-based tariffs (distance times weight) and region-based tariffs (origin and destination postal code zones). Compliant with DOT and FMCSA requirements.
- Mileage tariff: distance × weight or cubic feet
- Region tariff: postal code zone lookup tables
- Binding and non-binding estimate support
- DOT and FMCSA compliant documentation
Six Rate Tiers for Every Season
Assign any date to any tier. The engine pulls the right rate table automatically — no manual adjustments on busy weekends or holidays.

Tier 6Block dates entirely
Each tier has its own complete rate table with rates for every crew size and truck combination. You can also set minimum hours per tier to protect revenue on high-demand dates.
Every Fee, Accounted For
Moving jobs have costs that other industries do not. The pricing engine includes 16 fee types that cover every scenario your crews encounter in the field.
Each fee can be configured as a flat dollar amount or a percentage. All fees are optional — enable only the ones that apply to your operation.
The Complete Quote Formula
Every quote follows the same formula. The engine assembles all components automatically — your team never has to calculate manually.
Pricing Powers the Entire Platform
The pricing engine is the calculation layer behind every customer-facing and internal tool in Elromco.
Online Quotes
When a customer fills out your quote form, the pricing engine calculates the estimate in real time using your rate tables, fees, and surcharges. The customer sees a real price — not a placeholder.
Client Portal
Every change the customer makes — adding items, changing dates, requesting packing — triggers a recalculation. The updated price appears instantly in their portal.
Invoicing
When the job is complete, the final invoice pulls from the same pricing engine. Actual hours, actual materials, actual fees — all calculated consistently with the original quote.
Electronic BOL
The foreman's eBOL uses the pricing engine for real-time hourly calculations during the move. Start time, break time, end time — the system calculates the running total as the job progresses.
