Moving & Relocation Case Study

Quoting Reduced From Approximately Two Hours to Under Ten Minutes

A mobile-first survey workflow combined AI-assisted item detection, automated volume calculations and structured digital information to prepare estimates much sooner.

The situation

Preparing a reliable estimate required a slow manual survey

The moving business relied on manual item recording and volume calculations. Preparing the information required for an estimate could take approximately two hours and often depended on an onsite visit.

The opportunity was not simply to digitise a form. It was to shorten the path from seeing the customer’s items to preparing a usable estimate.

Where time was being consumed

  • Arranging and completing manual onsite surveys
  • Recording household items individually and inconsistently
  • Calculating or checking cubic-metre volumes manually
  • Reconstructing survey information before estimate preparation
  • Waiting for complete information before progressing the enquiry
The solution

A mobile-first survey from item capture to estimator review

Isoft developed a structured workflow that assists with identifying household items from images, calculates estimated volume and gives the estimator organised survey information for review.

Mobile Survey

Customers or staff can capture survey information using a mobile-first experience.

Photo-Based Capture

Room and item images provide practical input without relying only on handwritten notes.

AI-Assisted Detection

The system assists with recognising inventory items visible in the supplied images.

Volume Calculation

Detected and confirmed items contribute to an automated estimated cubic-metre total.

Access Challenges

The workflow can capture operational details that may affect how a move is planned.

Estimator Review

Structured information reaches the estimator sooner for validation and estimate preparation.

The new workflow

From a room image to estimate-ready information

Survey

The customer or surveyor captures rooms, items and relevant move details.

Detect

AI assists with identifying items while users retain the ability to review them.

Calculate

Confirmed inventory contributes to the estimated total volume in cubic metres.

Prepare

The estimator receives structured information and can prepare the estimate sooner.

Measured operational result

Estimate preparation reduced to under ten minutes

The connected mobile workflow reduced the time required to assemble estimate-ready information and lowered the need for onsite visits.
