Moving companies struggle to provide accurate moving estimates because existing methods (phone, photos, even in-person) are imprecise and lack a standardized formula for cube, weight, and labor hours.

Workarounds Described

• uses 'divide by 100' carton count formula
• uses 'count the windows times 1100 lbs' method
• takes photos/videos but still does in-person estimates for over 4 rooms
• relies on phone interrogation for estimates

Implied Software Gaps

• Standardized cube-based estimating software with room-by-room inventory
• Automated formula that factors in stairs, elevators, long carries, and special items
• App to capture photos and videos during in-person estimates and link them to specific items
