Great news, our Apple iPad has arrived!
With Apple recently announcing that the European iPad had been delayed by up to a month, we decided to purchase one from eBay. Ideally we would have liked a 64Gig version, but in the end settled for a 32Gig version complete with Apple’s iPad Keyboard Dock and Apple’s iPad Case.
Our initial thoughts are, IT’S WICKED! Now all we need is a bit more time to purchase and install many of the iPad apps available today, as all iPhone apps are already compatible!

Another year and another Movers & Storers Show. This year’s show was held at Telford’s International Centre on a wet and snowy Wednesday in February.
The evening before consisted of setting up the numerous exhibition stands and ensuring that the trucks on show were parked correctly and polished to the highest of standards. A VIP Show Preview Party took place that evening allowing exhibitors and guests to eat, drink and play on a giant scalextric. I must confess that copious amounts of alcohol was consumed that evening, both at the VIP Show Preview Party and in the Hotel Bar afterwards!
Exhibition day itself started a little slow, but by mid morning attendees were in full flow, making there way around the ample exhibitors on hand, as well as taking onboard several of the Learning Zone seminars. On our stand we were giving away Mouse Mats, Coasters , ipod/iphone/blackberry screen cleaners, and of course the obligatory Cadbury Creme Eggs!
All in all a good day was had by all. We made a few new contacts, caught up with may old and existing ones and look forward to doing it all again in 2011! 🙂

Hi Colin and Team
Could I firstly express how pleased we are with the Move Administer operating system, we are now coming to the 1 year milestone and cannot believe how easy this system converted from our previous package. We expected teething problems and bugs but thankfully there were very few, and the few we had were resolved promptly and efficiently.
There are many advantages of running the Move Administrator system (too many to mention) but the great advantage is how user friendly it is, all our staff use the system with great ease, and accounts are both accurate and easy to administer. Colin and the team have responded promptly to any queries we have raised and the on-line log on is a God send.
We now know the future will bring great developments to the system and take this from strength to strength.
Many thanks from all at Specialised Movers, a satisfied company.

Dear Colin & Richard,
I would like to take this opportunity to thank you and Richard for all your support in our transition from moving from Remstar to Move Administer.
The training and support we have had from yourselves has been second to none, nothing was a problem even when asking to adapt an already fantastic system to accommodate some of our own little quirks.
This system is full of great features and makes our business a lot easier to run and is so user friendly, and just when you think it can’t get any better out comes a new update with more helpful features.
I would have no hesitation in providing a recommendation for Move Administer to anyone within the Removal & Storage industry.
Kind Regards,
Audrey Smillie
Office Manager/Company Secretary of

To whom it may concern
We migrated from Remstar 1 (thereby avoiding Remstar 2) to Move Administer in April 2008 and currently have a 3 user system. The conversion of our data went very smoothly and we were impressed by the ease and speed with which the transition was achieved.
We have always received courteous and prompt attention with regard to requests for assistance and have found that Colin and Richard are very patient with our limited IT knowledge. It has been very effective to have the facility to request a support technician on line which allows them to control Move Administer so that they can “see” the exact problem instead of having to deal with queries over the telephone. This method is also very useful for receiving updates out of hours which avoids the need for downtime during the working day.
We are pleased that any suggestions for additional or improved features are welcomed and implemented if possible and the programme continues to evolve and improve.
We continue to receive regular contact from Administer Software Limited, unlike other companies who seem to become very distant once they have made a sale.
We have found the system to be very user friendly and would have no hesitation recommending Move Administer and the team to other Removers.
Yours sincerely,
Margaret Barnes

TO WHOEVER IT MAY CONCERN
I searched for a number of years for a software program that would handle the requirements of our removals, storage and self-storage business. Before coming across Move Administer I had tested most programs in the marketplace and I was disappointed to find that they each had their limitations. I also concluded that building a bespoke software package was incredibly expensive and had its own issues with on-going support.
When Colin first showed me Move Administer I could see he had programmed most of the benefits that were found in the other systems and had also built in what for me is the fundamental difference between Move Administer and other software packages – it has a ‘query’ option which allows you to discover and manipulate the data you have created meaning that there are very few limitations to what Move Administer can do for you.
The interface is very simple and easy to use and has been structured logically so it is easy to learn. Job sheets, waybills and the – previously long-winded – storage invoice run is all done at the touch of a button. The software is constantly being updated with improvements and feedback is welcomed by Colin who tries to incorporate your needs where he can. Support is provided via phone or online and the Move Administer team seem to be there 24 hours a day!
Overall I have never looked back and I would definitely recommend Move Administer to any company looking to grow through the use of a reliable software management system.
Yours sincerely,

From December 1st 2009 Shipping Administer will be known as Shipping Administer Lite and Shipping Administer Pro. It was decided that Shipping Administer in itself was probably too big a module to purchase just to be able to produce European, International and Trade quotations, hence the split into Lite and Pro.
Shipping Administer Lite will retail for £500 + VAT with an annual support fee of £150 + VAT, with Shipping Administer Pro retailing for £1,000 + VAT with an annual support fee of £300 + VAT.
Shipping Administer Lite will allow you to create Baggage Enquiries and European, International and Trade quotations for customers.
Shipping Administer Pro will do everything that Shipping Administer Lite will do plus allow you to create European and International consignments, allowing access to produce Certificate of Shipments, Shipment Statuses, Bills of Laden, etc as well as creating Import and Export Manifests and viewing the Shipment Diary.
