What is a virtual moving estimate?
A virtual moving estimate is a moving quote produced without sending an estimator to the home. The customer records a short video walkthrough on their own phone — no app, no scheduling — and the moving company builds the inventory and price from that footage. With AI processing, what used to take a two-hour visit plus drive time becomes a 30-minute, fully remote workflow: link out, walkthrough in, cube sheet ready.
The estimate itself is built from the same evidence an estimator would collect in person — every room on video, every special item narrated by the customer — which is why accuracy holds at 93% versus van-line bills of lading.

Virtual estimate vs. in-home estimate: the math.
In-home: $75–$150 per visit
Estimator wage, vehicle, fuel, and a two-hour window — spent whether or not the lead closes. Drive time caps throughput at 4–6 estimates per day.
Scheduled surveys: 35–40% ghost
Every no-show is a sunk visit cost and a stalled lead. Async virtual estimates remove the appointment entirely — completion runs above 90%.
Virtual: $20, quote 15–20/day
Five to six virtual estimates for the price of one in-home visit — and the same rep quotes 15–20 jobs a day instead of 4. Run your numbers →

An estimate that defends itself on move day.
Video evidence per line item
Every item in the estimate links to its source frame. Disputed quote? Rewind the walkthrough — weeks later, if needed.
Voice-note exclusions
"The piano stays." Transcribed, flagged, excluded — automatically. The estimate reflects what's actually moving, not what was visible.
Move-Day Audit closes the loop
Crew re-scans on move day; AI flags every added item and weight variance against the estimate — recovering ~$750 per residential move on average. How audits work →
