# Greg Szymanski, Owner at Szymanski Brothers Moving — read of Moving AI, May 27 2026

> 14 years in the moving business, started as a helper at 22, now running 11 trucks and 3 part-time estimators out of Columbus. Currently using Housecall Pro for dispatch and a Gmail label called "Quotes 2024" for lead tracking.

## How I got here

Googled "moving company lead management software" on a Tuesday night after I lost two Sunday leads to some franchise competitor who clearly had something automated. I clicked through maybe four results before this one. The others were either generic CRM tools (not moving-specific) or clunky-looking stuff with screenshots from 2018. This one was at the top of a "best software for moving companies" roundup on some site I'd never heard of.

## What I clicked first

The line under the hero stopped me: "You lose three leads before lunch because nobody's at the desk." That's oddly specific in a way that made me feel seen rather than sold to. Most of these pages say "never miss a lead again" which means nothing. This one said where the leads are going and when. I kept reading.

## Where I paused

The stat in the problem section: "Leads contacted within 5 minutes convert at 9 times the rate of leads reached after 30 minutes." I've seen that stat before. That's not their data, that's from some lead response study that's been floating around sales blogs for a decade. They didn't source it. They just dropped it in like it's their finding. It's probably true. But it made me wonder what else on this page is borrowed.

Also: the features say "Two hours after job completion, Moving AI sends a personalized review request" and then later the how-it-works section says "Reviews arrive in your dashboard 48 hours after the last box leaves the truck." Those two things are not the same time window. Small thing, but sloppy.

## What I distrusted

The testimonials. Marcus Deleon, Sandra Park, Dave Torrisi. They all have company names and cities, which is better than most. But every quote is a tidy before-and-after with a clean percentage: "Revenue is up 34 percent since April." That's the kind of number a real operator would either not know yet or would say differently ("we're way up, probably a third more than last spring"). And all three quotes have the same narrative arc: we had a problem, now it's solved, here's the number. Real operators complain about at least one thing.

The "2,400+ Jobs managed monthly" stat in the hero also bugs me. Is that per customer? Across all customers? A single number with no denominator tells me nothing except that they want it to sound big.

## What would convince me

One of those testimonial operators on a 5-minute Loom just talking. Not a produced video, just someone screen-sharing their dashboard while they explain what their Monday morning used to look like versus now. Sandra Park in Atlanta, specifically, because "5 times the volume in under an hour" is a wild claim and I want to see what that dashboard actually looks like when it's working.

Also: a real screenshot of a quote that went out automatically. What does it look like to the customer? Does it look like it came from my company or does it look like a robot sent it? That's the thing I'd need to see before I let AI touch my customer-facing communications.

## What I'd ask in an email reply

1. The call-capture add-on that handles phone leads: what does the customer actually hear? Is it a voicebot, or does it transcribe a voicemail, or what? Because if a customer calls me and gets a robot, I've already lost them.

2. When you say "no estimator required for routine requests," how does your system define routine? A 2-bedroom apartment is different from a 2-bedroom house with a piano and a detached garage. What happens when the AI quotes something it shouldn't have?

3. Where does the "38% more closed jobs" number come from? Is that a median across your customer base, or is that your best-case story?

## Verdict: on-the-fence

The page is better than 90% of what I've seen in this category. It's specific about the actual problems, the pricing is clear, and somebody clearly knows how moving companies work. But I can't shake the feeling the testimonials are composites and the stats are cherrypicked. One real screenshare from one real operator would move me from here to a trial.
