Voxme has launched a new Digital Inventory app that is suitable for the US Department of Defense (DoD), private and government moves.

The cost of just $300 annual registration fee and $3 per job makes the new technology accessible to even the smallest companies, allowing them to become compatible with the DoD mandate that takes effect from May 2023.  The new technology runs on both Apple and Android devices.

Digital inventories have become all the rage in the industry thanks to the DoD mandate. In reality, the need to switch from a paper-based process has been felt in the industry for a long time. A combination of pressure from the biggest industry buyers, staffing scarcity, tighter margins and environment concerns, and availability of low-cost mobile devices, has fuelled the industry’s desire and willingness to embrace the change.

Voxme has provided digital inventory systems since 2003 and hopes that its ability to bring affordable, battlefield tested and practical packages suitable for any company will help the industry go digital this time. Voxme believes that an annual payment of $300 a year for access to the digital inventory portal from any device that has Internet and $3 dollars per job completed on any modern Apple or Android device is a fair price. 

“We feel that it’s our time to give back to the industry that helped us realise our dream of creating practical solutions for real people who need it,” said Roman Kreynin, the co-founder of Voxme.

Max Kreynin, Roman’s brother and co-founder of Voxme, added:  “What we realized, as we were working with the larger companies, was that the market fundamentally needed a way to easily produce a standardised packing list PDF with enough detail to satisfy clients and regulatory requirements. So we decided to use our technology and 20 years of experience to deliver it in a simple and affordable package.”

The company said that the reason this has all taken so long is that the moving industry doesn’t rely on cutting-edge technology for gaining competitive advantage.  Operators won’t adopt anything until it’s proven.

Digital inventory systems got rolled into various move management systems that required physical servers, databases and IT. This meant that systems were only suitable for larger companies that would adopt new technology and had the budget. Max Kreynin said that mostly these attempts failed due to a combination of poor hardware, users’ pushback and general lack of tech savviness and a management discipline to make the change stick. Some companies, however, have been successful.

Cloud computing helped change that and allowed Voxme to deliver a familiar app first experience to the industry where most of the end users and small business owners do everything using their phone or tablet. Max explained that the full inventory control management system is available for those who need it when the time is right. “What most of the market needs now, though, is a simple tool and Voxme Digital Inventory is just that.”
