The link is just a demo we built. Nearly all house/office moving businesses rely on the customer to fill out lengthy forms and then wait for a human to get back to them with a quote.
My colleague experienced this first-hand recently, hence why we build this tool. Instead of manually filling out a form, you just photo the rooms in your house. It identifies the objects, then uses industry standard "cube-sheets" (inventory lists), which have volume & weights of common items, to calculate the vehicle size required and generate the quote.
This reduces hours / days of waiting for a quote to a 5 minute walk around your house with your phone and completely removes the need to manually enter items.
I am looking for feedback from anyone who has moved house/office recently and whether this would have been a benefit and any other feature ideas?
This is just a demo, but we already have additional potential features: specify fragile items, specify disassembly.
