Can we keep using Excel or Google Sheets?

Yes. Download the checked inventory as a CSV or Excel file and use it in your existing spreadsheet process. The download is a file export, so changes made later in either place are not automatically synchronized.

Does a spreadsheet need to be replaced for every move?

No. A small, familiar process may be all your team needs. MoveVision is worth considering when collecting the walkthrough and checking the inventory against it are the parts you want to keep together.

Is the AI inventory ready to quote without a person?

Your estimator checks the draft, corrects items and sizes, and decides what belongs in the quote. The video and still frames support that review.

Keep the spreadsheet. Connect the survey.

A spreadsheet gives you a flexible list and your own calculations. MoveVision connects the customer’s walkthrough, the inventory draft and your estimator’s review before that list reaches the spreadsheet.

Where each approach fits

The choice depends on where your work starts. If the inventory is already checked and you want to analyze it, a spreadsheet can be the right tool. If you are still collecting the rooms, identifying items and checking what is moving, a purpose-built survey workspace keeps that work together.

Spreadsheets

Keep a spreadsheet for custom models, unusual calculations and a simple inventory your team can comfortably maintain. Modern spreadsheet tools support collaboration, permissions and automation. A well-maintained sheet can work well when everyone understands the process.

MoveVision

Consider MoveVision when your estimator needs to connect an inventory line to what the customer filmed. Customers record from a branded phone-browser link, MoveVision drafts the room inventory, and your estimator checks the video, adjusts the cubic feet and builds the quote in the job record.

The workflow, side by side

These are common ways of working. A particular tool or custom setup may work differently.

Collecting the inventory: SpreadsheetsEnter a list yourself, or bring in data from the forms and tools you choose.; MoveVisionThe customer records each room. MoveVision drafts items from the clips for your estimator to check.
Checking an item: SpreadsheetsKeep evidence in cells or links and maintain the connection as your list changes.; MoveVisionSelect a line to jump to its moment in the room video, with a still frame attached.
Sizing the move: SpreadsheetsUse your own cube table, formulas and conventions for item sizes and totals.; MoveVisionItems match a built-in cube table. Your estimator can override sizes, cubic feet and weight.
Moving or staying: SpreadsheetsSet up columns, filters and totals to match the plans your team records.; MoveVisionSet each item to move, stay, store, discard, donate, sell or customer takes. Moving and haul-away volume total separately.
Using the finished list: SpreadsheetsBuild the analysis, models and documents your spreadsheet setup supports.; MoveVisionBuild a quote from the checked inventory, or download the inventory as CSV or Excel for your own process.

What to plan for

The AI draft still needs your estimator’s review. Export gives you a file to use in Excel or another spreadsheet; it does not create a live connection or keep later edits synchronized.
