History
Founded by Bastian Knutzen and Chris Maslowski in 2016, the company began by booking household moving services for students online. In May 2015, they moved their headquarters from Vallendar to Berlin. Later, the MVP version[6] of the platform was released - a home removal platform built with Ruby on Rails, PostgreSQL, Grape, Babel. In 2016, the company was active in at least seven countries.[7][8] Today, Dominic Schütz is the CEO of the company.
Model
Movinga's business model is online based. Customers first need to provide their source and destination via the moving website. The quotation for the job is then exchanged with the customer. Once the customer accepts the quoted price, the process is initiated, and the task completed.
