A computer system and method for creating an inventory of items to be moved by a commercial moving service include client and server software which communicate over a network such as the internet or a local area network. During a session, a user is prompted to select items to be added to the inventory by clicking on graphical icons which represent the item chosen. The items may be grouped hierarchically. The client transmits item selections to the server where an inventory including a list of the items, their cumulative weight and volume is calculated based on stored data which includes standardized or customized weights and volumes for the items selected. A price quote may be generated from the inventory by applying tariffs or estimated distances from geographic information entered by the user. The system and method may be implemented on a portable computing device as an alternative to a client/server system.
