Santa Barbara, CA
Size
15-Truck Fleet, 4 Dispatchers
Challenge
High lead abandonment due to 3-hour average response time for inventory-heavy quote requests.
The Challenge
The client was receiving over 180 quote requests per week across their website, Thumbtack, and Google Local Services. Their sales team was manually reviewing Yembo video surveys to extract inventory lists before inputting data into SmartMoving. This bottleneck resulted in a 3-hour average response time.
In the moving industry, the first company to respond wins the contract 60% of the time. By the time the client's sales team reached out, many leads had already booked with competitors. Furthermore, the dispatchers were overwhelmed by repetitive follow-ups for damage claim documentation, pulling them away from high-value scheduling tasks.

Lead-to-Booking Rate
"Read Laboratories didn't just give us a bot; they rebuilt our intake pipeline. We now capture and quote leads while our competitors are still checking their email. It’s been a game changer for our peak summer season."

Implementation Timeline
During the first two weeks, we mapped the SmartMoving API to our custom lead intake engine. By week four, we deployed an AI layer that analyzes Yembo video transcripts to automatically flag high-value 'bulky items' for the sales team. The final two weeks focused on automating SMS follow-ups for unsigned Bill of Ladings.
FAQ
Can your AI accurately estimate inventory from video surveys?
Yes. By integrating with tools like Yembo, our AI parses the visual and transcript data to categorize items (e.g., sectional sofa, upright piano) and automatically populates the inventory fields in your CRM like SmartMoving or MoveitPro.
Will this replace my sales team?
No. It empowers them. By automating the data entry and initial lead response, your sales team can focus on closing high-revenue long-distance moves rather than chasing low-intent local leads.
How do you handle damage claim processing?
We implement AI vision models that compare 'before' and 'after' photos submitted by customers against the inventory logs, automatically flagging discrepancies for your claims adjuster to review.
Is the system compatible with MovePoint or Supermove?
Absolutely. We specialize in building middleware that connects your existing moving software to modern AI models through secure API integrations.
