Capturing Inventory

Every way to get items into a job: LiDAR, photos, voice, and the catalog.

• Choosing a capture methodVan Line Pro gives you five ways to build an inventory. Here's what each one does, what it needs, and when to reach for it.
• Scan a room with LiDARWalk a room with a LiDAR-equipped iPhone or iPad Pro to measure it and size every piece of furniture automatically.
• Walk & talk: narrate items while you scanSay each item out loud during a LiDAR scan and the app turns your words into confirm-first cards, matched to the piece it just measured.
• Photograph itemsTake or choose a photo and turn it into draft inventory items. With AI on, one room photo can list every piece it sees.
• Dictate itemsSpeak your items hands-free and the app parses them into a reviewable list, on-device, with cube estimates you confirm.
• Add from the catalogSearch a standard household-goods list, tap to add with cube and weight pre-filled, and commit a whole batch at once.
• Boxes & cartonsAdd packing cartons, mark who packed each one (CP or PBO), and let confirmed cartons roll up into the job's packing materials.
• The Item Editor, field by fieldA full tour of the Item Editor: item number, name, category, packed-by, placement, handling symbols, valuation, photos, and the size/weight drawer.
• Rooms: add, rename & deleteAdd rooms to a job, name them, delete ones you don't need, and understand where items go when a room is removed.
• The review screen after a scanAfter you finish a LiDAR scan, the review screen is the final check before anything is imported. Here's how to work it.
