Pricing now opens the way each service type should be priced — automatically. A new Default Pricing Load Type setting on every Service Type lets you choose Rate Table, Movegistics Tariff, or the new Manual Pricing as that service's default. When your team loads pricing on a work request, the right method is already selected and the right rates are already loaded: Local can open on your hourly rate table, Interstate on your tariff, and any service you price by hand on Manual Pricing — with no switching every time.
✨ What's New
- Default Pricing Load Type on Service Types — a new dropdown when adding or editing a Service Type, with three options: Rate Table (hourly pricing), Movegistics Tariff (pre-set tariff pricing), and Manual Pricing. Your choice is saved and shown as a new column in the Service Type list.
- Automatic pricing method selection — loading pricing on a job auto-selects the pricing type from the service type's default and pulls the matching rates — no manual switching.
- New Manual Pricing option — for full control: the rate table/tariff dropdown is hidden, only line items are shown, and percentage-based line items accept manually typed quantities instead of auto-calculated ones.
- Cleaner pricing screen — a Pricing Type label now sits above the options, with improved alignment when Manual Pricing is selected.
👥 Who This Is For
- Owners and admins — who decide once how each service is priced — hourly locals, tariff-based interstates, hand-priced specialty work — and have that decision applied on every job.
- Sales reps and estimators — who open pricing with the right method and rates already in place instead of switching pricing types on every work request.
- Companies that price by hand — commercial, rigging, or specialty jobs where the estimator needs full control over every line item.
⚙️ How to Configure
- Go to Settings → General → Service Types, select a service type, and click Edit. Choose the Default Pricing Load Type — Rate Table, Movegistics Tariff, or Manual Pricing — and Save. The setting appears as a new column in the Service Type list.
- On a work request, load pricing exactly as you do today from the Pricing tab.
- The pricing screen opens with the service type's default already selected. A Local service set to Rate Table, for example, opens on Hourly Rate Table with your rate table (e.g., Standard Rates – Local) loaded.
- A service type set to Manual Pricing opens with Manual Pricing selected — no rate table or tariff dropdown, just the fields and line items for the estimator to fill in, including manually entered quantities on percentage-based line items.
🔎 Good to Know
- It's a default, not a lock. The Pricing Type options remain on the pricing screen, so an estimator can still switch methods on an individual job when needed.
- Works across service types. Set a different default per service — hourly rate table for Local, tariff for Interstate, manual for specialty work — and each work request follows its own service's rule.
- Interstate with TechMate. For interstate jobs, companies using TechMate keep TechMate as the default; otherwise the pricing loads per your chosen default, and you can switch to Movegistics pricing at any time.
🎉 Available Now
The Default Pricing Load Type is live under Settings → General → Service Types. Set each service's default once, and every new work request opens its pricing the right way — rates loaded, method selected, ready to quote.
