BundleBox Survey is an AI-powered virtual survey product for moving companies. Instead of sending an estimator to every home, movers can survey a move four ways: a self-recorded video, a live assisted video call, an on-site visit, or an uploaded video. In every case, AI turns the footage into a room-by-room inventory with volume and weight.

I designed Survey v2 end to end. The work covered survey creation, AI transcript and inventory review, the inventory workspace, customer-facing inventory review, automated customer communication, and the dashboards teams use to run surveys at scale.

Problem

Surveys were slow to schedule, easy to abandon, and ended in retyped data

Surveys were slow to schedule, easy to abandon, and ended in retyped data

Accurate moving quotes depend on knowing what’s in the home. Traditionally, that meant an estimator driving to every address, walking each room and counting items by hand. Early virtual surveys removed the drive, but they produced unstructured video that someone still had to watch and transcribe into an inventory.

Current process of surveying a home

Every survey type followed a different process, and customer follow-up was manual. Surveys stalled when customers didn’t record, links expired unnoticed, and the inventory that finally came out lacked the details crews and estimators actually needed, such as packing, fragility, disassembly and crew instructions.

Time sink

A single in-home survey cost an estimator [X hours] between travel, the walkthrough and retyping the inventory.

Dead-end data

Video surveys captured the home but not the data. The footage still had to be manually converted into items, volume and weight before anyone could price the move.

Target Users

Surveyors who turn homes into data, and the customers on the other side of the camera

The primary users are surveyors and estimators at moving companies. They schedule and run surveys, review AI-generated inventory, and hand accurate data to sales and dispatch. Office admins oversee survey volume and follow-ups across the whole team. Customers are secondary users: they record their homes, join video calls, and review their inventory before signing.

Role

Surveyor at a [size]-truck mover, running [X] surveys a week.

Goals

Survey more homes without driving to them, and trust the inventory enough to price from it.

Frustrations

Customers who never record, scrubbing through long videos, and inventory that misses packing and fragile items.

Tools today

Phone, video calls, spreadsheets, manual texts and emails.

Problem Statement

How might we let movers survey any home remotely, in whatever format the customer can manage, and turn that footage into an inventory accurate enough to price and dispatch from?

Discovery Insights

Where surveys stalled and where inventory broke down

Where surveys stalled and where inventory broke down

To understand why surveys stalled and why inventories weren’t trusted, we mapped every survey type from creation to confirmed inventory. We did this through interviews with surveyors and admins, and a review of real survey footage.

Survey lifecycle from invite to confirmed inventory, with drop-off points

We spoke with [X] surveyors, estimators and admins across [Y] moving companies and reviewed [X] recorded surveys. The goal was to find where customers dropped off and what an inventory needed to be usable downstream.

Key Insights

No single format fits every customer

Some customers want to record on their own time, others need a live call, and some homes still need an in-person visit.

Surveys died between invite and submission

Customers rarely refused a survey. They forgot, ran out of time, or let the link expire.

An item list isn’t an inventory

Crews and estimators needed volume, weight, who packs each item, fragile, high-value and bulky flags, disassembly needs, and crew notes.

AI output needed a receipt

Surveyors only trusted a detected item when they could jump to the moment it appeared on video.

These insights shaped a core design principle:

Be flexible in how a survey is captured, consistent in what it produces, and make every AI-detected item traceable to the video.

Strategy & Key Decisions

Design decisions to scale surveys without losing accuracy

Design decisions to scale surveys without losing accuracy

Based on research into how surveys were run and where they broke, we made two structural decisions that shaped Survey v2.

Decision 1: One survey, four capture modes

Decision 1: One survey, four capture modes

Survey creation became a single flow where the surveyor picks a capture mode (self virtual, assisted virtual, on-site or upload video). Customer details, move details and the outgoing SMS or email adapt to that mode. However the survey is captured, it ends in the same transcript and inventory.

Why: Customers get the format that works for them, while surveyors and downstream teams always receive the same structured output.

Decision 2: Inventory as an operational document, not a list

Decision 2: Inventory as an operational document, not a list

The AI inventory was designed as a working document. Items are grouped by room, with quantity, volume, weight, packing responsibility, handling flags and crew notes. A live summary shows totals per room, and the inventory can be exported as CSV or PDF or sent to the customer to review.

Why: An inventory only saves time if estimators can price from it and crews can work from it without re-entering anything.

Risks & Trade Offs

Balancing automation, accuracy and customer trust

Balancing automation, accuracy and customer trust

AI over-trust

Detected items could be wrong or assumed. Every item links to a video timestamp, inferred items are labelled (for example, “Not mentioned by customer, considered moving by default”), and surveyors can switch models and retry processing.

Automation vs noise

Automated reminders could quickly become spam. Each message is tied to a specific trigger with defined timing, such as 24 hours after invite or 24 hours before link expiry. Templates are editable and can be sent as a test first.

Team visibility vs focus

Admins needed an organisation-wide view while surveyors needed their own queue. The dashboard switches between organisation and personal scope, and every inventory edit is logged in Activity with who made it.

Learnings

AI output needs a receipt

Surveyors adopted AI-detected inventory only when every item could be traced back to the video and edited with a visible history.

Flexible input, consistent output

Supporting four capture modes only worked because they all converged on one inventory model. The flexibility is upstream, and the structure is downstream.
