In this sentence why is "beim" being used instead of "mit"
Wir konnten ihr beim Umzug helfen.
-> We could help her with the move.
Wir konnten ihr beim Umzug helfen.
-> We could help her with the move.
- German
One of the meanings of "bei" is "during; as part of the process of [doing sth.]". This meaning is invoked here.
In fact, "bei" is firmly connected to the verb "helfen", as part of the verb phrase "jdm.D bei etw.D helfen"

Don't know 'bout germany, but in Austria u could use "Ich helfe ihr mit ihrem Umzug" as well, but that might be just austrian german.
