From Industry Veteran to Innovator
Meyr Aviv is not just another CEO—he’s a leader who has spent decades in the trenches of the moving industry, learning firsthand the challenges that customers face. Starting in New York City in the late 1990s, Aviv built his career in moving logistics, operating both a local moving company and a successful brokering service. He gained extensive experience in local and long-distance operations before setting his sights on a larger mission: transforming the moving industry through technology and transparency.
Aviv saw a big issue; customers were fed up with hidden fees, unreliable service, and last-minute price changes. Traditional moving companies typically operated in an archaic way, leaving customers feeling helpless. Seeing an opportunity to revolutionize this outdated system, he launched “iMoving,” a tech marketplace built with the intent of returning power to the consumers.
Instead of being burdened down by traditional in-home estimates or long phone conversations with movers, users can compare movers, schedule, and even secure pricing all online with iMoving. It’s an idea inspired by travel booking platforms, turning the moving process into something as simple as planning a vacation.
Revolutionizing the Moving Industry with Transparency and Technology
At the core of Aviv’s vision is trust. The moving industry has long been plagued by misleading quotes, unexpected charges, and uneven service quality. With iMoving, Aviv launched a fixed pricing model, a thorough vetting system for movers, and an intuitive platform that eliminates unnecessary steps for the customer.
His approach focuses on:
Transparency: iMoving provides clear, upfront pricing with no hidden fees. Customers receive fixed quotes, ensuring they know exactly what they’ll pay before booking.
Security: Movers on the platform undergo a strict screening process, including verification through the Department of Transportation and local state authorities.
Convenience: Unlike traditional moving companies, iMoving eliminates the need for phone calls and home visits. Customers enter their details online, receive customized quotes, and book their move instantly.
Aviv also recognized that moving is more than just transporting furniture. That’s why iMoving has expanded to offer storage solutions, courier services, moving labor, and even packing materials; all through one platform.
By integrating these services, Aviv ensures that customers have a complete relocation solution at their fingertips.
With over 1,000 vetted moving companies and 50,000 satisfied customers, iMoving is not just another moving company; it’s also a new standard in relocation.
Meyr Aviv’s leadership is defined by his hands-on experience and customer-first mindset. Unlike many tech entrepreneurs who enter an industry from the outside, Aviv built iMoving from the ground up, leveraging his years in moving logistics. His success isn’t just about technology; it’s about understanding customer pain points and solving them with real-world solutions.
Looking ahead, Aviv envisions iMoving as the go-to platform for move planning, much like how people use online tools for travel bookings. His goal is to expand services, enhance user experience, and ensure that more people can move with confidence, knowing they are protected from industry pitfalls.
For Aviv, iMoving isn’t simply a business. It’s a mission to bring integrity, reliability, and ease to an industry that has long needed change. Using technology together with expertise, he’s doing more than revolutionizing the moving process; he’s providing customers the control they deserve.
