A moving company needs a precise formula to estimate the quantity of specific box types based on the inventory of a Partial Pack Out and to adjust for items the client packs themselves.

Existing moving software likely doesn't provide granular box-type calculations or handle PBO deduction formulas, forcing estimators to rely on guesswork or manual spreadsheets.

App Concept

MoveEstimate Pro

An AI-powered estimating tool for moving companies that calculates precise box counts (1.5, 3.0, 4.5, 6.0, dish packs, mirror packs, wardrobes) based on room-by-room inventory and deducts client-packed items automatically. It eliminates guesswork and ensures accurate material ordering and pricing.

Key Features

Room-by-room inventory input with item categorization
Algorithm that converts inventory into optimal box type mix
PBO (Partial Pack Out) deduction engine to subtract items client packs
Real-time cost and weight estimates for pricing and logistics

Target Users: Moving company owners and estimators in the home services industry, typically small to mid-size moving companies with 5-50 trucks.

Revenue Model: $99/mo per company subscription, with a tiered plan based on number of moves per month
