Describe your home and Netiva’s AI builds a web app that records belongings room by room — photos, serial numbers, receipts and warranty dates — so a claim or a move starts from a list, not from memory.
Build a household inventory web app for a family in a three-bedroom house that is moving next spring. Record each room with a wide photo and a walkthrough video. Record each belonging with its room, photo, brand and model, serial number, purchase date, price paid, receipt and warranty end date. Let me log a loss against an item with the date, cause, claim number, damage photo and replacement cost, and show a printable loss list per claim. Add numbered moving boxes with the room they were packed from, the room they go to, a contents photo and a status. Require sign-in on every page.
Few people can list what’s in their home until they have to — after a burst pipe, a break-in or a moving truck that arrives with a crushed box. An adjuster wants the make, model, purchase date and price of each lost item, and receipts are rarely where you left them. A household inventory app built with Netiva gives each room a page and each belonging a record with its photo, serial number, receipt and warranty date. Log a loss and the claim list is ready; pack for a move and each numbered box shows its contents and destination.
Each room gets a page with a wide photo, a walkthrough video and every belonging in it. Each item page holds its photo, serial number, purchase date, price paid and a copy of the receipt.
Enter the end date from the warranty card or receipt, and the app lists what’s about to lose coverage and emails you ahead of time, before a repair ends up on your own card.
When something is stolen, damaged or lost, log it as a loss with the date, cause and claim number. The loss list gathers those items with the details an adjuster usually asks for.
Number each box, note the room it was packed from and the room it goes to, and photograph the contents before you tape it shut. At the new place, scan the label with your phone camera to open that box’s page.
Netiva keeps your records in built-in collections. Here’s a starting structure — the agent adapts it to your prompt, and you can change it any time.
Each room in the home you live in now and the one you’re moving to.
Everything worth recording, with the details an insurer or mover asks for.
Numbered moving boxes, where each one came from and where it should end up.
Each stolen, damaged or lost item, tied to the claim you filed for it.
Required field. Types are Netiva collection field types.
A typical first version. Ask the agent for more, or annotate the preview to change any of them.
Every room in the current and new home with its wide photo, the number of belongings recorded and the total price paid.
Signed-in usersThe room’s walkthrough video and a grid of its belongings, each with a photo, serial number and a mark if a receipt is missing.
Signed-in usersOne belonging with its photo, purchase date, price paid, receipt, warranty status and any losses logged against it.
Signed-in usersBelongings whose warranty ends in the next 90 days, soonest first, with expired coverage listed underneath.
Signed-in usersItems logged as stolen, damaged or lost, grouped by claim number with price paid, replacement cost and status, in a print-friendly layout.
Signed-in usersBoxes by status and destination room, with a scan button that reads a box label and opens its contents photo.
Signed-in usersTell Netiva which rooms you have, whether you’re getting ready for a claim, a move or both, and what you want recorded for each item. The agent drafts collections for rooms, belongings, boxes and losses.
Add each room with its wide photo, then its belongings in the collection grid. Describe what’s in a closet and the collection assistant drafts rows for you to review, or fills in a missing field across many items.
Open the loss list and move board in the live preview with a few test records. Annotate anything that looks off and keep chatting until the pages match how you’d use them.
Publish in one click, sign in and switch on warranty reminders. Add purchases as you make them; every change to the app itself is checkpointed, so an edit that didn’t work is easy to roll back.

Each roommate signs in and sees only the belongings they added, which keeps lists apart when everyone carries their own renters policy. After a break-in, each person pulls their own loss list.
Before the interstate move, the family lists items worth more than $100 per pound for the mover’s shipping documents, numbers every box and photographs its contents. Anything that arrives broken is logged as a loss with the mover’s claim number.
Room totals of price paid give a starting figure to compare with the personal property limit on the policy, and a list of the priciest items shows which jewelry or art to ask the insurance agent about scheduling.
The app records what you own and what you paid. Whether a claim pays replacement cost or actual cash value, which deducts depreciation, depends on your policy, and many policies set lower special limits for items like jewelry, silverware and furs.
The app is hosted online, so the list isn’t lost with the house. Insurance groups still suggest a backup, so ask the agent for a printable summary and keep a copy with a relative or in a safe deposit box.
Interstate movers must prepare their own inventory when they load. Check it against your box list, note any disagreement about missing or damaged items before signing, and keep your photos for a claim.
Netiva doesn’t bring in lists from a spreadsheet or another home inventory tool. Start with what’s costly to replace — electronics, appliances, furniture and jewelry — then add clothing, linens and other everyday things, which add up too.
Consumer guides from the NAIC and the Insurance Information Institute suggest the brand, model, serial number, where and when you bought it, what you paid, a photo and the receipt. The belongings collection has a field for each, and room pages add a wide photo and a walkthrough video. Serial numbers are usually on the back or bottom of appliances and electronics. Don’t skip everyday things like clothing and towels; replacing them adds up.
After a theft, fire or leak, you log each affected item as a loss with the date, cause and the claim number your insurer gives you. The loss list for that claim shows every item with its original photo, damage photo, serial number, purchase date, price paid, receipt and your replacement cost estimate, ready to print for the adjuster. Your insurer still decides what the policy pays.
Yes. Number your boxes, photograph the contents and scan each label at the new home to see where it goes. On interstate moves in the US, your shipment travels under Full Value Protection unless you waive it in writing for Released Value, which pays no more than 60 cents per pound per article. List anything worth more than $100 per pound on the shipping documents, and file a written claim within nine months of delivery.
Each person signs in with their own account and sees the records they added, so roommates keep separate lists in one app. If you want a partner to help shape the app itself, invite them into your Netiva workspace, where you can build together live, see each other’s cursors and comment on the preview.
Yes. Each belonging has a warranty end date, and the app can send a scheduled email a set number of days before it passes, with a link to the item and its receipt. A monthly digest of upcoming end dates works too. Reminders arrive by email only; the app doesn’t send text messages or push alerts.
You can start on Netiva’s free plan without a credit card and try the app in the live preview. A private household list doesn’t need its own web address, but if you want one, custom domains are available from the Starter plan. Paid plans add capacity and features, so compare them on the pricing page before you decide.
