What’s new 🔽
Auto-book Reserved Jobs: Once a customer signs an estimate and pays a deposit (if required), jobs that have been reserved on the schedule will automatically move to the Booked stage. (details below ⤵️)
Generate a Packing Materials PDF: Generate a PDF of a day’s packing materials directly from the Schedule page (via the Actions button) to help streamline your move day preparation process. (details below ⤵️)
Disable Discount Button on BoLs: You can disable the + Add Discount button on Bills of Lading to prevent movers from offering discounts that don't align with your policies. Reach out if you'd like this turned on. (details below ⤵️)
Cancel On-Hold/Postponed Jobs: Move jobs in the On-Hold or Postponed stage directly to Canceled without needing to move them to Booked first, keeping your job list organized and up-to-date.
Inactive Movers in Time-off Requests: Inactive movers will no longer appear in the Time-off Request workflow, making it easier to manage active mover schedules without errors.
Reminders 🔽
If you want to set up Automated Reviews for your account, please reach out! All Chariot accounts now have access to send review requests from the Job > Actions menu, but we can also turn on an automated trigger for your account to send these requests automatically the day after a job is closed.

Auto-booking Reserved Jobs
❓ Why we built this
We’re always focused on streamlining your operations and reducing manual steps in the job booking process. If a job is reserved on the Job Schedule and a customer signs an estimate, that job will be booked automatically (vs. requiring additional steps to book).
💡 How it works
If you have a lead Reserved on the Job Schedule, the job will automatically move to Booked once the customer signs the estimate and pays any required deposit.
Customers will receive an estimate-signed confirmation as well as the booked confirmation notification.
This feature is on by default – reach out to us and we can disable it for you if needed.
Generate Packing List PDF
❓ Why we built this
We know that pulling together the materials you need for a day’s jobs can be difficult and time-consuming – this feature allows you to generate a list of packing material needs (based on your job estimates) for a day in one click.
💡 How it works
On the Schedule > Day View page, click “Actions” then Print Packing List. This will open a PDF in another webpage that you can then share or print. The list is based on any charges from the estimate that have a category of “Packing” or “Materials.”
Disable Discount Button on BoLs
❓ Why we built this
We know that move days are hectic and we’ve received a lot of feedback about removing the ability for movers to provide discounts without office approval.
