Abstract
The present disclosure provides generally for methods and systems relating to relocation estimates. According to the present disclosure, sales representatives and prospective customers may have access to the relocation estimate system to see how a quote is being generated and what the resource allocation was. These parties may make suggestions or ask questions about how a quote was generated. These parties may correct or update a quote based on needs not known during an initial walkthrough. Based on information input by a user, the relocation estimate system may provide a quote in real-time.
Claims20
A system for estimating relocations comprising:
- a plurality of local computing devices couplable to an internet computer network, wherein each of the plurality of local computing devices generates one or more proposal requests for relocation quotes comprising at least one price estimate, wherein each proposal request is stored as a proposal data packet on a local computing device that generated the proposal request;
- one or more memory resources comprising:
- a proposal data packet database comprising synchronized data packets received from the plurality of local computing devices;
- an inventory database comprising inventory data and inventory pricing data, wherein the inventory data is associated with inventory pricing;
- a materials database comprising materials data and materials pricing data, wherein the materials data is associated with materials pricing;
- and
- a labor database comprising a plurality of labor classifications and labor pricing, wherein the plurality of labor classifications is associated with the labor pricing;
- a remote server coupled to the one or more memory resources and an internet computer network, wherein the remote server is configured to:
- communicate with a first local computing device, wherein the first local computing device comprises one of the plurality of local computing devices, and wherein a communication occurs when the first local computing device is coupled to the internet computer network;
- receive a first proposal data packet from the first local computing device;
- identify from the first proposal data packet a first proposal request for a first relocation quote, wherein the first proposal request comprises at least a first customer, a first origin, a first destination, a requested move date, and an estimated inventory;
- associate an estimated move plan with the first proposal data packet, wherein the estimate move plan is based on one or more the first origin, the first destination, the requested move date, and the estimated inventory;
- access the one or more memory resources;
- associate the estimated move plan with a first set of labor classifications, a first set of materials, and a first set of inventory;
- aggregate a first set of labor pricing data associated with the first set of labor classifications, a first set of materials pricing associated with the first set of materials, a first set of inventory pricing associated with the estimated inventory, and a first set of location pricing associated with one or more the first origin, the first destination, and the requested move date;
- and
- create a first proposal estimating a first relocation quote based on the first set of labor pricing data, the first set of inventory pricing, first set of materials pricing, and the first set of location pricing data.

A method for estimating relocations comprising the method steps of:
- communicating with a first local computing device, wherein the first local computing device comprises one of a plurality of local computing devices couplable to an internet computer network, wherein each of the plurality of local computing devices generates one or more proposal requests for relocation quotes comprising at least one price estimate, wherein each proposal request is stored as a proposal data packet on a local computing device that generated the proposal request, and wherein the communication occurs when the first local computing device is coupled to a computer network;
- receiving a first proposal data packet from the first local computing device;
- identifying from the first proposal data packet a first proposal request for a first relocation quote, wherein the first proposal request comprises at least a first customer, a first origin, a first destination, a requested move date, and an estimated inventory;
- associating an estimated move plan with the first proposal data packet, wherein the estimate move plan is based on one or more the first origin, the first destination, the requested move date, and the estimated inventory;
- accessing one or more memory resources;
- associating the estimated move plan with a first set of labor classifications, a first set of materials, and a first set of inventory;
- aggregating a first set of labor pricing data associated with the first set of labor classifications, a first set of materials pricing associated with the first set of materials, a first set of inventory pricing associated with the estimated inventory, and a first set of location pricing associated with one or more the first origin, the first destination, and the requested move date;
- and
- creating a first proposal estimating a first relocation quote based on the first set of labor pricing, the first set of inventory pricing, first set of materials pricing, and the first set of location pricing data.
