Why movers quote faster on Zip

The inventory builds itself

Your customer snaps a photo of each room and Zip's AI turns it into an item list. The price reflects the real job instead of a guess made over the phone — and there's no argument about it on move day.

You answer while the lead is still warm

Movers lose jobs to whoever replies first, not to whoever is cheapest. Quoting from the cab between jobs means you're the one who replied first.

Signed and paid without a second visit

The estimate is a link. Your customer opens it, signs it, and pays the deposit on their phone — no printing, no scanning, no driving back out for a signature.

What you can do with a Zip estimate

One document carries the job from the first phone call to the truck being loaded — nothing gets re-typed on the way.

Build it from photos, or build it by hand

Send your customer a link, they photograph each room, and the AI inventory comes back as a room-by-room item list you can adjust. Prefer to walk the house yourself? Add rooms and items directly and the totals keep up.

  • Room-by-room inventory with item counts
  • Adjust anything the AI got wrong before you send
  • Crew size and truck sit on the estimate with the price

Send it as something a customer trusts

The estimate goes out looking like it came from a company three times your size — itemised, branded, and readable on a phone. That is often the whole difference between you and the mover who sent a number in a text message.

  • Readable on a phone, where your customer actually opens it
  • The scope in writing, so move day holds no surprises
  • E-signature and deposit built into the same link

Turn acceptance into a booked job automatically

The moment the customer signs, the job is on your calendar with the deposit collected and the inventory attached. There is no second step where someone in the office copies it into a schedule.

  • Signature and deposit land together
  • The job appears on the dispatch board straight away
  • The inventory follows through to the crew app

Questions about quoting on Zip

How do I send a moving quote with Zip?

Open the lead, add the rooms and items — or send a photo link and let the AI inventory build them — set the crew and truck, and send. Most estimates take a few minutes and go out from a phone. The customer gets a link they can read, sign, and pay a deposit on without printing anything.

How does the AI photo inventory work?

You send your customer a link, they photograph each room, and Zip turns those photos into a room-by-room item list. You review and adjust it before the estimate goes out, so you are always the one who approves the final number.

Can a customer sign and pay a deposit on their phone?

Yes. E-signature and the deposit are part of the estimate link, so a job can go from quoted to booked and paid without anyone printing, scanning, or driving back out for a signature.

Do I need to be at a computer to send an estimate?

No. Quoting is built to happen from the cab between jobs — that is the owner-operator Zip is designed for. Everything you can do at a desk you can do from the owner app.
