Built from the driver's side of the door.
Van Line Pro is built by Joey — a working mover, not a software company that discovered moving from a market report.
The descriptive inventory is the highest-stakes document in a move. It's what gets pulled when a claim comes in, what a van line's adjuster reads line by line, what decides whether a dispute costs you a deductible or a customer. And for decades, the software offered for it has been the worst in the whole moving stack — apps that crash mid-load, export only by email, and leave the office blind until the driver finds wifi.
I've filled out these inventories on real moves, on the clock, with a shipper watching. I've used the incumbent apps in the field — I still do, which is how I know exactly where they fall down. Van Line Pro is the tool I wanted in my own hands: the paper form's speed and logic, plus the things paper can't do — LiDAR-measured cube, photos tied to exception codes, GPS-stamped signatures, and a cloud archive the office can actually see.
It's a small operation on purpose: one mover, modern iPhone hardware, and no investor deck steering the roadmap. The people steering it are the design partners — moving companies running real jobs on it and telling me every week what to fix. If that sounds like you, email me directly.
What the product is built on
Legal-grade accuracy over polish
Every item, condition code, and signature is potential evidence in a claim. Getting it right beats making it pretty, every time they conflict.
Respect the workflow that works
Paper survived forty years of software because it's fast and it never crashes. The app keeps the paper form's logic — codes written the way you write them, nothing blocking the crew mid-load.
Fast and boring
No animations that don't carry information. No redesigns for the sake of it. On move day, boring is a feature.
Never lose data
Offline-first, syncs when it can, and there is no black hole in between. A crew in a concrete basement is a normal Tuesday, not an edge case.
AI suggests. The crew decides.
AI-detected damage and AI-read paper inventories are always suggestions. A human confirms every entry before it touches the record — because the record is a legal document.
Design partners get in first.
We're onboarding a small group of moving companies and owner-operators who run real moves on the app and tell us what to fix. Partners use the Company tier free for six months and talk directly to the founder — a working mover, not a support queue.
