Inside ReloAI’s AI Revolution: From Manual Mayhem to a £380K Funding Win
For decades, the removals industry has run on paper, spreadsheets, and manual processes - from handwritten inventory lists to fragmented customer communication.
ReloAI, founded by Oscar Pais, set out to change that. With over 20 years of experience in removals and relocation, Oscar knew first-hand how outdated processes slowed teams down and limited growth. His vision: an AI-driven platform where moving companies could run their entire operation through intelligent automation and voice-based interaction - no keyboards, no clutter.
“People are sick of software. They want things to work in the background. My goal is to create a system where you just talk to an AI agent that runs your operations - reports, jobs, even social media - everything.”
To turn that vision into a scalable business, Oscar needed a financial model that could clearly show investors the revenue potential, costs, and funding needs behind ReloAI’s suite of products.
The removals sector is capital-intensive, and demonstrating early financial viability was critical to secure SEIS/EIS assurance from HMRC and attract angel investors.
Traditional spreadsheets, however, made scenario planning difficult and time-consuming.
“Before, it was just spreadsheets. You’d spend weeks working on formulas before you could pull out a report. With Blox, it was quick - and everything made sense.”
Through Blox’s financial modeling platform and one-to-one collaboration with Simon Ritchie, Oscar rebuilt ReloAI’s financial structure from the ground up.
Together, they created a modular, scenario-based financial model tailored to ReloAI’s product roadmap - including the Pack List App, Video Survey Tool, and future AI assistant features.
Key benefits Oscar highlighted:
“In a couple of weeks, I built something that would’ve taken me months in Excel. It helped me get SEIS approval and made the whole process clear.”
With Blox, ReloAI produced a transparent, data-driven model that secured £380,000 SEIS assurance from HMRC, forming the foundation for our investment round.
Oscar’s renewed confidence and clarity also helped him refine his strategy and attract early investor interest.
“Simon gave me five-star support. The tool is brilliant - I highly recommend it for anyone managing a business or preparing a pitch deck.”
“You can understand when and how much cash you’ll need. It can save a lot of companies from going bankrupt.”
ReloAI’s collaboration with Blox delivered tangible returns - both financial and operational:
💰 £380,000 SEIS assurance achieved through an investor-ready model
⏱️ Up to 75% faster financial model build - from months of spreadsheet work to weeks
📈 Improved pricing strategy across subscription and installation revenue streams
🧠 Higher investor confidence through transparent, data-backed storytelling
💡 Long-term asset - the model now used for ongoing forecasting and future rounds
“What I did in a couple of weeks would’ve taken me months. The tool gives you speed and clarity - that’s real ROI.”
ReloAI is now focusing on completing its Pack List App - integrating affordable hardware from China and India - and expanding its AI-based product line.
The long-term vision is bold: a voice-controlled removals platform that automates every aspect of moving operations through conversational AI.
“The more I work with moving software, the more I see the gaps. My goal is to create an AI agent you can talk to all day - no typing, just results.”
