Send to your companyMoveVision drafts the inventory
It reads the video and the customer’s words together. Each item gets a name, a count, a size from your cube sheet, and the moment it was seen.

It hears what stays. The customer’s words decide what goes on the truck.
The camera sees the piano and the washer and dryer like everything else in the house. The customer said they are staying, so their lines stay off the quote and keep the sentence that decided it.

536 cubic feet on the truck, in the sample survey
Sized on your cube sheet, line by line
Each item is matched to an entry on your cube sheet, and the total is the sum of those lines, so your estimator can check every cubic foot of it. The 110 cubic feet the customer said are staying never count toward it.
Compared with a house call or a video call

- Who travels
- In-home surveyYour estimator drives to the home and back.
- Live video callNobody.
- MoveVisionNobody.
- Who has to be free at the same time
- In-home surveyYour estimator and the customer, at the home.
- Live video callYour estimator and the customer, on the call.
- MoveVisionNobody. The customer records whenever suits them.
- Where the inventory comes from
- In-home surveyNotes taken while walking the rooms.
- Live video callNotes taken live while the customer points the camera.
- MoveVisionA draft read from the video and the customer’s words, which your estimator checks.
- What can be checked later
- In-home surveyThe notes.
- Live video callThe notes, unless someone recorded the call.
- MoveVisionEvery line, each opening the moment in the video it came from.
Video of a home stays with that job
A walkthrough shows the inside of someone’s home. MoveVision keeps it to the job it was recorded for, under your company’s name, for as long as you decide.
Nothing to install
The link opens in the phone’s browser. Your customer records, checks what was found, and sends it back.
The homeowner sees your company
Your name, logo and colors carry through the whole walkthrough. MoveVision stays in the background.
You decide how long video is kept
30 days from recording by default, or anywhere from 14 to 365 days.
Each company sees only its own jobs
No survey, inventory or video crosses between moving companies.
Questions movers ask before a first survey
How is this different from a video call survey?
A video call needs your estimator and your customer free at the same time, and a missed call means rescheduling. With MoveVision the customer records when it suits them, and your estimator starts from a drafted inventory with each line linked to the video instead of taking notes live.
What if the video misses something?
Your estimator reviews every line before a quote goes out and adds or corrects anything missed. Each line opens the moment in the video it came from, so checking a line means watching one moment instead of the whole clip.
Will my customers actually do it?
They open a link in their phone’s browser with your company’s name and logo on it. There is no app and no account, and they can record one room at a time, whenever suits them.
What does joining commit me to?
Nothing. Joining the waitlist is free and creates no account. When a place opens, we email you to set up your company.
