Product/How it works

Five steps, one locked record.

A phone is the capture device. Everything else runs in the cloud. This page walks the five steps, what the record contains, what locking means, how the arrival check works and what the export looks like.

The five steps

Packing becomes the record.

Every item runs the same five steps, room by room. Nobody types.

01
Capture

Photograph it.

Photograph each item as it goes into the box, room by room. A phone camera is the only equipment. The record is organized by room because that is how a move is packed, and unpacked.

02
Describe

Name it.

AIMIS identifies the item, make, model, the details that set it apart, and writes a clean title and description on its own. No barcodes, no RFID, no typing. It works from what the item looks like.

03
Compare

Find the comps.

Comps are drawn from actual sold listings across major resale marketplaces, what similar items actually sold for, and at what prices.

04
Value

Put a number on it.

Comps are weighed against the item's recorded condition to produce a fair market value. The number on the record has a basis a reader can see, not a guess, not a depreciation table.

05
Export

One record.

The complete record exports as a CSV or Excel spreadsheet, one line per item, carrying its description, condition, value and photograph references, organized by room. Any system or reviewer can take it in directly. No integration required.

No edits after the factLocked at capture.

Once an item is recorded, its line cannot be changed. What the destination checks against is exactly what was captured at origin, locked and dated before anything shipped.

Locked 09:41:07Z · no edit path
At destinationChecked against the origin record.

The receiving side confirms each item present against the record and its photographs. Anything missing or in changed condition is noted against the line.
