Today's consumers are more informed, and they value their time. If you've ever needed to move an item from point A to point B, then you understand how stressful this experience can be.
The $64 Billion moving industry did just over $12 billion in 2017. As Uber disrupted the taxi industry, similar to Airbnb disrupting the hospitality industry, the following startups are disrupting the moving industry.
The App Stores Best of 2019
The top five are as follows;
LUGG
Founded: 2014
Headquarters: San Francisco, California

Lugg connects a consumer with a truck and two movers. Consumers who need to move an item set up a pickup location, add a photo of the item they want moved, and the movers are on the way.
The movers reach you within 15–60 minutes, instead of hours.
Lugg operates primarily in California and Denver.
PHLATBED

Phlatbed is basically the Uber for moving stuff.
Phlatbed is an on-demand moving app that connects you to local drivers who can help you move stuff. They can help you pack and load stuff too, including junk removal. Customers post their moving request, set up the pickup and drop-off location, include pictures and post.

Phlatbed collets and “holds” payment until the delivery is completed by the driver.
Phlatbed Operates primarily in New England but rapidly expanding nationwide including Texas, Michigan, Nevada, North Carolina, Colorado, MD, California, Sea…

BuddyTruk attempts to make moving and hauling a “social experience”. Considering moving is never a fun experience, this may be a challenge. The app connects consumers who need to move an item(s) with a local person with a truck (a “buddy”). Buddies can earn up to $40/hour. The consumer pays the “Buddy” through Buddytruk.
Buddytruk operates in Los Angeles, Chicago, Austin, and Orange County.
DOLLY
Founded: 2014
Headquarters: Seattle, Washington
Status: Private Independent Company
Industry Sector: Application Software
Dolly combines drivers and helpers to help you move. It takes some scheduling by the customer, but Dolly customers can request a helper and/or a truck from their app to help with moving their stuff including big items.

MOVED
Founded: 2016
Headquarters: New York, New York
Status: Private Independent Company
Industry Sector: Application Software
Moved provides a personal moving assistant to gather moving quotes, find a storage unit, update your address, sell your things, compare moving company quotes, book movers, find storage, order supplies, and much more.
The challenge here of course, it’s not on-demand, and it’s more or less a concierge service. So if availability and time are a factor, Moved is not an option.
Cheers!
