What Nextories does

Nextories is a France-based moving broker platform founded in 2011 and headquartered in Paris. The company connects individuals, families, military personnel, and corporate clients with a curated network of over 250 vetted professional moving companies, providing free, non-binding quote comparison services. Customers initiate requests through the company website or phone line, after which dedicated moving experts conduct inventory assessments via videoconference, phone, or home visit, then deliver 3–6 personalized quotes within approximately 48 hours. Moving partners are vetted on criteria including minimum one year of operating experience, proper licensing, insurance, RCS registration, and URSSAF compliance. The company monetizes solely through affiliate/referral commissions from its moving company partners; no fees are charged to customers, and the platform also offers contract transfer services for energy, internet, insurance, and mail, alongside a ZenBook guide.

The product surface includes a room-by-room online volume calculator, a quote comparison interface filtered by price, quality ratings, and verified customer reviews, four service-tier formulas (Transport, Économique, Standard, Complète) ranging from basic transport to full-service packing and unpacking, and a grouped-moving option (déménagement groupé) that combines shipments on a single truck to reduce customer costs by approximately 30%. Nextories maintains an official partnership with the Chambre Syndicale du Déménagement, the French moving industry syndicate, dating to 2016. International coverage is offered to at least 13 countries including Germany, Belgium, Switzerland, the UK, Spain, Italy, the USA, Canada, and French overseas territories. Distribution is primarily through SEO-optimized city-specific content, an active blog, broad earned-media coverage (TF1, France 2/3, Les Echos, Capital, M6, BFMTV), and Trustpilot-validated reviews with an aggregate rating around 4.8/5 across 3,500+ customer entries. The single disclosed institutional funding event was a ~€2.15 million round from M Capital Partners in September 2017; no subsequent raises have been disclosed. Leadership comprises CEO Julien Bardet and CTO Ludovic Auberger.

Expansion highlights5 records

Broad incumbents

• Check24 (Umzug category): Germany's largest price-comparison portal offers an Umzug (moving) vertical that aggregates vetted movers, similar to Nextories' core proposition; relevant as a broad incumbent operating across multiple comparison categories.
• Moving.com: Long-standing US consumer moving resource and lead-generation platform owned by Realtor.com/CoStar; comparable in aggregating mover demand and monetizing via partner leads, though it is a broader portal rather than a French specialist.

Direct peers

• Allo Déménageur: French moving comparison and broker platform that connects households with professional movers, directly comparable to Nextories' core courtage en déménagement service in the same French market.
• DemDemenageur.com: France-based moving broker directory that aggregates quotes from multiple professional movers for residential moves; competes head-to-head with Nextories for French relocation demand.
• HireAHelper: US-based online marketplace connecting consumers with local moving labor and full-service movers, a direct functional analog to Nextories' vetted-partner broker model.
• MoveAdvisor: US moving concierge and broker that vets movers and arranges quotes for households, a direct functional analog to Nextories' guided comparison + dedicated expert offering.
• Umzug.de: German moving portal and lead-generation platform comparing moving companies; comparable as a European moving broker/aggregator targeting the same household relocation use case.

Emerging players

• Lugg: US on-demand moving and delivery app connecting consumers with drivers and moving help; relevant emerging player overlapping with Nextories' on-demand move scheduling and small-move segments.
