Your catalogers are typing lot titles by hand

Every piece of equipment that comes through the yard needs a lot title. Someone looks at the machine, squints at the nameplate, and types it into a spreadsheet. Multiply that by hundreds of lots per auction.

Cataloging a single lot takes 2-5 minutes of manual data entry
Misspelled manufacturers and wrong model numbers end up in listings
New hires don't know a PC290LC from a PC360LC
No one wants to walk the yard twice to double-check what they typed
