How it works

Move smarter.
AI’s got this.

From your first login to receiving quotes from multiple movers — every step of the Movana experience, explained.

Section 1

Getting started

Create your account in seconds and tell Movana the basics — we handle the rest.

1 Step 1

Sign in — your way

Create your account in one tap. Sign in with Google or Apple for a seamless experience, or enter your email and we'll send a secure magic link. You can also continue as a guest and connect your email later when building your inventory.

No passwords. No friction. Just one tap and you're in.

2 Steps 2 – 3

Tell us who you are

You're in! Enter your first name, last name, and phone number so your movers know exactly who they're dealing with. Takes less than 30 seconds.

5 Step 5

Lock in your dates

Enter your move-out date and, if needed, a separate move-in date. Storing items between moves? Movana captures that gap so your movers can plan and quote you accurately.

📅

A different move-in date signals you may need short-term storage — movers will quote accordingly.

6 Step 6

Pin your locations

Start typing and our autocomplete finds the exact address instantly. Add both your move-out and move-in addresses — every detail helps movers plan the right truck, crew, and route.

7 Step 7

Your move dashboard is ready

The basics are set. Your move summary is live — see all your info at a glance and refine it anytime. From here you have two paths:

  • Add more details — tap the three dots to open a chat with Ana, your AI moving assistant
  • Build your packing list — start photographing your belongings for an AI-powered inventory
💡

Once your inventory is complete, one tap sends a consistent estimate request to every mover you choose.

Meet Ana, your AI moving assistant

Ana asks the right questions so your movers arrive fully informed — and quote you accurately from day one.

8 Step 8

Ana guides every detail

Tap the three dots on your summary and Ana opens a conversational chat. She'll walk you through everything your movers need: floor access, elevator availability, fragile items, parking constraints — all through natural conversation.

🤖

Ana adapts to your answers in real time — no long forms, no forgotten fields.

8b Step 8b

She knows when you're ready

Once Ana has gathered all the key details, she wraps up the conversation and gives you two clear next steps: add your inventory — or go straight to requesting an estimate. No guesswork, no dead ends.

The smartest inventory you'll ever build

Photograph your rooms. Movana's AI detects every item, categorizes it, tags its condition, and builds your packing list automatically.

Add inventory photo
9 Step 9

Photograph your space

Upload from your gallery or snap a photo with your camera. For best results, take a landscape shot, step back to capture the full room, and ensure good lighting. One image can detect 8–12 items automatically.

📸

Zoom out and capture items from corner to corner. Movana sees details you might overlook.

10 Steps 10 – 11

AI analyzes your image

The moment your photo uploads, Movana's vision AI goes to work. Within seconds it identifies every item — furniture, electronics, decor, fragile objects. You'll see a processing indicator, then a notification the instant your image is ready to review.

Upload multiple images while Movana processes. Add every room before you review.

12 Steps 12 – 13

Review, edit & curate

Tap into the image to see every item detected, organized by category. Remove anything you're not taking — a three-dot menu lets you delete or edit each item. Power users can tweak dimensions, weight, and condition.

  • Items grouped by category — Electronics, Furniture, Decor…
  • Tags like "Fragile", "Large", "Heavy" auto-applied
  • Delete or edit individual items in one tap
14 Step 14

Add to your inventory

Once you've reviewed and refined the items from an image, tap "Add to Inventory" to lock them into your packing list. Repeat for every room. The more images you add, the more accurate your movers' estimates will be.

🏠

Photograph each room separately — living room, bedroom, kitchen — for a comprehensive inventory.

15 Step 15

Your full packing list is now organized and searchable. At the top, thumbnail cards represent each photo you added — tap one to filter the list to only show items from that room. Every mover who receives your estimate sees this same organized breakdown.

🗂

Hold down a thumbnail to enlarge it. Your movers get full image context — no more guessing what you own.

Section 4

Get quotes.
No phone tag.

One tap sends the exact same professional summary to every mover on your list. They quote you. You compare. You pick.

16 Step 16
