Moving apps for US carriers that follow FMCSA rules and every state's own.

Moving services app development USA operators can rely on starts with the rules. Codeeo builds customer, crew and office apps for household goods carriers, van line agents and multi branch movers across the country: surveys, binding and non-binding estimates, bills of lading, inventories, valuation choices, tracking, payments and claims. Federal requirements for interstate moves and each state's intrastate rules are written into the workflow, so branches in different states work the same way.

Interstate moving is one of the most complaint prone consumer services in the country. A well built app shows customers what they agreed to, gives crews a single record of the shipment, and gives the office proof of every step.

Built for

Platform capabilities

What a national moving platform needs to do.

A move from Chicago to Phoenix touches more rules and more people than a local job. The Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration sets requirements for interstate household goods carriers: registration, written estimates, the consumer booklet, the bill of lading, liability options and a dispute settlement program. Meanwhile, a branch doing local work answers to its own state, whether that is the TxDMV in Texas, the Bureau of Household Goods and Services in California or NYSDOT in New York. Customers expect the same experience from every branch, and head office wants one view of the business. The capabilities below are the building blocks of that platform. We prioritize them with you so the first release fixes the most expensive problems and later phases extend the system branch by branch.

Explain your project
  • Survey and estimate engine

    Estimators run in-home or virtual surveys and build binding, non-binding or not-to-exceed estimates from your tariff. The engine records the survey method and any written waiver the customer signs before loading, so each estimate can be defended later. Room lists, photos and special items carry straight into the inventory, which saves drivers retyping at pickup.

    Estimates that match federal rules and your own pricing.

  • Federal and state rule switching

    The app reads origin and destination, decides whether a move is interstate or intrastate, and applies the matching documents, estimate types and disclosures. A Texas branch's local job and its interstate job follow different flows without staff having to choose.

    The right rules applied on every booking, in every state.

  • Digital bill of lading and order for service

    The order for service, bill of lading and inventory are generated from the booking, signed electronically and stored with the shipment. The customer can open each document in the app, along with the FMCSA booklet on rights and responsibilities.

    Complete shipment paperwork without paper files.

  • Valuation and liability choices

    Customers see the difference between full value protection and released value in plain English, choose one, and sign. That choice flows into claims handling, so nobody has to reconstruct it from a paper form months later.

    Fewer claim disputes over what coverage was agreed.

  • Weight tickets and final charges

    For non-binding shipments, drivers upload weight tickets and the app calculates final charges against the estimate. It shows what can be collected at delivery and what must be billed afterward under the 110 percent rule, so crews do not demand more than the law allows.

    Correct collection at delivery, every time.

  • Long haul tracking and delivery windows

    Customers follow their shipment across states, see pickup and delivery spreads, and get notified when a driver confirms a delivery date. Storage in transit and split deliveries are tracked as separate legs of the same shipment. Drivers update status from the cab with one tap, and the office is alerted when a delivery spread is at risk.

    Fewer where is my stuff calls to the office.

  • Agent and branch network

    Booking agents, hauling agents and destination agents each see the parts of a shipment they handle. Head office sets pricing rules, document templates and permissions centrally, while branches keep control of local crews and trucks.

    A national standard with local control.

  • Claims and dispute settlement

    Customers file claims with photos linked to inventory lines. The office tracks acknowledgment, investigation and resolution, and the app explains the dispute settlement program available to interstate customers if a claim cannot be agreed.

    Claims resolved on evidence, with every step logged.

  • Accessible customer experience

    The customer app and web booking flow are designed to WCAG 2.2 criteria, with screen reader labels, sufficient contrast and forms that work with assistive technology. Accessibility affects older customers and people moving after an injury or illness more than most businesses realize.

    More customers can book without help.

  • National reporting

    Leaders compare branches on surveys, bookings, claims, on time delivery and customer ratings. Reports drill down to the estimator, driver or lane, so problems in one region become visible before they spread.

    One national picture, built from live shipment data.

Who this is for

US moving businesses that need more than a local booking tool.

A national platform has different priorities from a single city app. It must respect federal rules, work across many state regimes, support several kinds of user and still feel simple for a family moving across the country. Custom moving services app development in the USA makes sense for these four kinds of business, each with its own starting point. In every case we look for the part of the operation where errors cost the most, whether that is disputed estimates, slow claims or branches working in different ways, and start there.

01

An interstate carrier with its own authority

You hold a USDOT number and interstate operating authority, run long haul trucks and coordinate pickups and deliveries in many states. The priority is federal compliance: estimates, the booklet, the bill of lading, weight tickets and valuation, all recorded in one system that holds up to a complaint or an audit. Drivers get a crew app that works offline on rural interstates, and dispatchers see every truck and every delivery spread on one board.

Compliance and evidence come first.

02

A van line agent or franchise network

Your locations carry one brand but operate as separate businesses. We build shared booking, pricing and document standards with per location permissions, so each agent sees its own customers and crews while the brand keeps a consistent customer experience and central reporting. Shipments handed between agents keep a single history, so no customer has to repeat their story to a second office.

Shared standards, separate data.

03

A regional mover expanding into new states

You started in one state and now have branches across several. Each new state brings its own intrastate rules, insurance requirements and estimate forms. The platform stores those rules per state, so opening a branch means configuring it rather than building new software. Branch managers keep local pricing within limits set by head office, and new staff learn one system instead of several.

04

A relocation management company

You coordinate moves for employers and work with movers across the country. The platform gives HR teams a portal for approvals and budgets, gives employees a clear app, and gives you a way to compare supplier performance. We keep employer, employee and mover data separated by role. Supplier scorecards draw on real delivery dates and claims rather than self reported figures, which makes renewals easier to decide.

How we deliver a moving platform for a US network.

  1. 01Discovery across head office and branchesBy video call we review how estimates, dispatch, documents and claims work in head office and in two or three branches with different states, then document where practice differs.
  2. 02Rules map and scopeWe list the federal steps and the state rules each branch follows, as confirmed by your compliance lead, and turn them into a scope with a clear first release.
  3. 03Design for every roleCustomers, estimators, drivers, dispatchers, agents and managers each get screens designed for their tasks. You approve clickable designs before development begins.
  4. 04Build and integrateWe build in short cycles and connect your tariff, accounting, CRM, telematics and payment provider. Every build can be installed and tested by your team, including drivers on the road.
  5. 05Pilot in selected branchesTwo or three branches use the platform on live shipments, ideally including an interstate lane. Feedback from crews and office staff shapes the version that goes to the network.
  6. 06Phased national rolloutBranches join in planned waves with training by video call. Each wave adds that state's rules and data, and we keep improving the platform from live usage. Lessons from early waves shape the training for later ones.

Questions US moving companies ask us.

FMCSA requirements for interstate household goods moves.

Interstate household goods carriers must be registered with FMCSA, give customers written estimates, provide the rights and responsibilities booklet, issue a bill of lading, offer valuation options and participate in a dispute settlement program. Non-binding estimates carry the rule that a customer cannot be required to pay more than 110 percent of the estimate at delivery. We build these steps into the workflow as your compliance team confirms them; we do not give legal advice. Customers are also pointed to FMCSA's Protect Your Move resources, and your USDOT number appears on every estimate so they can check your registration before booking.
