Why Operators Switch

Stop running your tote rental operation from spreadsheets, texts, and disconnected payment links. Upgrade to tools built for the job.

Booking Workflow

Give customers a clean, branded booking experience with clear pricing, drop-off details, pick-up dates, and checkout before they ever need to call or message you.

A professional booking flow helps your business feel established from the first click.

Flexible Logic

CrateOps uses your inventory, turnaround time, service area, drop-off rules, and availability settings to keep bookings realistic.

Customers can book only what you can actually drop-off, while you keep control of packages, add-ons, blocked dates, and pick-up timing.

Single Source of Truth

See bookings, revenue, fees, drop-off schedules, pick-up status, and customer details in one place.

From pricing to proof of drop-off, CrateOps helps you stay in control of every order from start to finish.

Your complete business-in-a-box

Go-Live Checklist

A guided onboarding and launch checklist makes sure your branding, pricing, zones, and Stripe are all set before you take your first order.

Branded Booking Flow

Look like a national franchise from day one. Customers book on a clean, conversion-focused page with your logo, colors, packages, dates, and checkout.

Live example: ToteDrop Joplin

No-Code Pricing Engine

Set package rates for residential and commercial moves. Add custom pricing for extra days, dollies, zip-ties, and wardrobe boxes.

Service Zone Guardrails

List the ZIP codes you serve and add new ones the moment you expand. Apply automatic surcharges for extended zones or block them entirely.

Promo Codes & Discounts

Run launch promotions and flexible discounts with built-in promo code management baked right into the booking flow.

Driver Mobile App

Your team gets today's job list, customer details, and one-tap Google Maps directions for each stop on their phone — no paper sheets, no group chats, no guessing.

Proof of Drop-off

Capture drop-off and pick-up photos plus customer signatures right from the operations dashboard. Every job has a clean paper trail.

Stripe Connect Payouts

Money flows directly to your bank account. Real-time visibility into revenue, processing fees, and profit margins.

Pick-up Fee Management

Handle pick-up related charges in one place, including billing for lost or damaged equipment and late returns, all managed directly through the platform.

Spreadsheets and texts vs the CrateOps platform.

One side is the chaos most operators start with. The other is what your day looks like once your dashboard and your driver's phone are in sync.

Without CrateOps

Spreadsheets + group chats

Frequently Asked Questions

Everything you need to know about launching with CrateOps.

Most operators can get onboarded in about 30 minutes. Our go-live checklist still walks you through branding, pricing, service zones, and Stripe setup step by step. Because our success depends on your success, we provide as much practical business guidance as possible throughout the process to help put you on the right track.

Think of CrateOps as your booking and checkout engine. You use your main website or social media to market your business, and simply add a "Book Now" button that sends customers to your branded CrateOps page. We handle the calendar, the digital signatures, and collecting the payment.

Payments flow directly to your bank account via Stripe Connect. You see real-time visibility into revenue, processing fees, and profit margins in your dashboard.

No. Stripe processing fees are separate and currently 2.9% + $0.30 per successful card transaction. The 5% CrateOps platform fee does not include Stripe's payment processing fees.

Yes. We include extended zones within each of your service areas, and of course you can set the price for that extended travel.

The no-code pricing engine lets you set custom add-ons and extra-day rates. You can also manage one-off adjustments through the mobile app. The program can be as simple or as detailed as your business needs.
