MOVING COST ESTIMATION SYSTEM

摘要

A method for estimating costs associated with relocating a plurality of items is provided. An interface is provided to a device. The interface receives user input data associated with relocating a plurality of items and displays a plurality of cost estimates that includes a total moving cost. The plurality of cost estimates are based at least in part on predefined item cost and user input data. At least one of the plurality of cost estimates is dynamically updated after at least a portion of the user input data is received. At least one of an estimate sheet and moving tariff form is provided. The estimate sheet is based at least in part on the plurality of cost estimates and received user input data. The moving tariff form provides a list of at least one charge and service associated with the plurality of cost estimates.

1. A computer system for estimating costs associated with relocating a plurality of items including a plurality of furniture items, the system including a device, the device including a device processor and a memory, the memory containing instructions that, when executed by the device processor, configure the device processor to:
provide a furniture computer interface section, the furniture computer interface section configured to allow the user to enter furniture item information of the plurality of furniture items; calculate an inventory cost based at least in part on the furniture item information of the plurality of furniture items; receive user input data associated with relocating the plurality of furniture items, the user input data including at least a first pick-up location and a first delivery location where at least the first furniture item of the plurality of furniture items is to be picked-up for transportation and delivered; calculate delivery information, the calculated delivery information including at least a truck size and load time associated with the transportation of at least the first furniture item between the first pick-up location and first delivery location, the calculated truck size being based at least in part on the furniture item information; determine the calculated truck size cannot reach at least one of the first pick-up location and the first delivery location due to the size of the truck based on geographical data corresponding to at least one of the first pick-up location and the first delivery location; in response to determining the calculated truck size cannot reach at least one of the first pick-up location and the first delivery location, determine a shuttle transport for transporting at least the first furniture item between the truck and at least one of the first pick-up location and the first delivery location; and provide a summary computer interface section, the summary computer interface section configured to display a plurality of cost estimates including a total moving cost, a shuttle transport cost and the inventory cost, the plurality of cost estimates being based at least in part on the user input data and furniture item information.
