How CalMov works
How CalMov works, from setup to your first booking
Build a schedule around the journeys you actually make.
Ordinary booking tools see an empty space in the calendar. CalMov also considers where you are coming from, where you are going next, and whether the customer's appointment fits between those journeys. Automatic travel pricing can also add a customer travel charge based on distance or journey time.

From setup to booking
Five steps from setup to bookable times
02
Set your real availability
Choose your working hours, how far ahead customers can book, the gap between start times, and where you travel.
03
Collect the customer location
CalMov uses the booking address and surrounding appointments to understand the journey the slot creates.
04
Show only workable times
Customers see appointment times that fit your service duration, working day, existing bookings, and required travel. When travel pricing is enabled, the booking review shows the applicable travel surcharge and total before confirmation.
05
Switch on the tools you need
In Toolkit, pick what your trade uses: questions that set the time and price, checks before booking, forms after booking, job notes and rebooking reminders. Your trade's usual setup is suggested, and nothing changes until you switch it on.
Automatic travel pricing: decide how much to charge for the journey
Your service area controls where you go. Travel time checks control when a visit can fit. Automatic travel pricing on Plus controls the additional travel charge, using your distance or journey-time brackets for the one-way trip from your business base to the customer. Set the brackets and switch on travel pricing in Hours & availability, in the Travel tab, next to your service area and the rest of your travel rules.

A worked booking example with travel time
Imagine a confirmed visit ends at 10:00 and the next one begins at 12:30. A customer requests a 60-minute service at 10:45. The empty space looks large enough, but CalMov also checks whether you can reach the proposed address after the 10:00 visit and still reach the 12:30 customer after the new service.
- 1Check the journey from the 10:00 customer to the proposed address.
- 2Reserve the full 60-minute service duration.
- 3Check the onward journey to the confirmed 12:30 appointment.
- 4Show 10:45 only when all three parts fit your working rules.
