Happly

Who are you and what is Happly?

I’m Andrew Weinman, founder and CEO of Happly. Happly brings the moving process into one place so people can compare, book and organise the services they need, from removalists and packers to cleaning, utilities and boxes.

Before Happly, I spent nearly 15 years leading an international distribution business across more than 60 countries. I understood complex operations and had strong networks across property, logistics and finance. Moving house still surprised me. It remained fragmented, manual and far more stressful than it needed to be.

What was broken about moving home?

A move is one event for the customer, yet the industry treats it as a long list of separate transactions. People spend hours calling providers, chasing quotes, checking availability and trying to work out who they can trust. Important tasks live across emails, notes and someone’s memory.

The problem was bigger than booking a removalist. People needed a reliable way to coordinate the entire move and confidence that the providers turning up would do a good job.

How did you want Happly to solve it?

We built Happly as an end-to-end moving platform. Customers choose the services they need, compare transparent prices from vetted local providers and book online. They can manage their move through a personalised checklist, calendar reminders and support from a moving coordinator.

The early work was about turning a very hands-on industry into a product and commercial model that could scale. Having a structured process helped us work through that complexity, focus on the parts that mattered and move with confidence.

Where is Happly today?

Happly is live and helps Australians organise a move across ten service categories. We have raised more than $3 million from investors across property, technology, finance and logistics, and secured strategic relationships with Ray White and The Agency.

We were also recognised as a finalist in the Proptech Association Australia Awards. The milestone I care about most is that customers can now do in minutes what used to involve days of phone calls, uncertainty and admin. Moving will always be a big life event. Our job is to make the practical side feel much easier.
