Adding your own custom inventory list

With our MoveDashboard, SurveyPro and CrewPro, you have the option to use your own inventory list

 

Custom Inventory Lists are a great way to ease the transition to digital from pen & paper. Most Surveyors, Crew and Moving companies are used to their own volume and terminology for items & cartons 


Step 1.

Download our Inventory import file format. We will use this to import your custom inventory to our system. below is a breakdown of what each section means, and how it will impact your moving process.

Section Purpose
Item Name This is the full name of your items & boxes, this name will pull through to your client facing documents and the MoveDashboard. Please utilize capital letters where needed- as what is provided will be uploaded 
Unique Number

This is the Prefix found at the beginning of your Move4U dossier number- for example M4U is our own, then the first item 1ill be M4U0001:

You can also leave this blank, and we will enter this for you

Volume This is extremely important of course, and we will need the Volume in CBM at 2 decimal places. Example: Carton Books - 0.05
Can Contain Items beginning with a capital, Yes = Carton/Box, No = Inventory Item
Item Short Name If preferred, this is an abbreviated/short version of the item full name and how it appears within the app. For example, Box- Large can be Box- L . If not necessary, copy the Item full name into this column 
Default Box Content You have the option to add default content to your cartons/boxes to streamline the packing process. so, if you have boxes for specific purposes such as 'Hanging Wardrobe', you can pre-fill the content as 'Clothes'. you can always add more content to this box in the app, or remove it completely.

 

Remarks about the inventory lists:
The system recognizes 3 different types of items. Items (furniture), boxes and content for the box.

Step 2.

Submit a ticket to support@move4u.com, with your request along with the Inventory List and we will promptly upload it to your company.

 

Company can have as many different Inventory Lists they seem necessary. Meaning different locations with different terminology & volumes can work in their preferred list.

A company can only have 1 default inventory list. This list is automatically linked to any move/tasks assigned from the MoveDashboard, unless changed otherwise via the MoveFile Inventory Tab. This must be done before assigning a task.
