About Zootly
Traditional moving services require a multi-hour booking reserved days, weeks and even months in advance. By contrast, Zootly, launched in 2015, deploys vehicles and staff on short notice via the Zootly app. Residential or commercial customers can then track movers and trucks from their phones to get instant updates. Businesses benefit from the on-demand services, which allow them to complete business moves or deliver their products or equipment efficiently without the costly overhead of owning trucks and employing delivery crews. Zootly works by aggregating underutilized moving vehicles and moving teams through its licensed, insured, experienced and customer service-oriented partners via the Zootly app. Zootly moves within a 100-mile radius of Manhattan with plans to expand to other cities in 2016.
