How offline cataloging works in the NextLot Catalog App
The app lets you catalog the same way whether you're connected or not:
Snap photos, even offline. Open a lot, take your photos and move on to the next one. You don't need a connection.
Describe lots with talk-to-text. Dictate lot descriptions instead of typing them on a small screen with gloves on.
Upload automatically on WiFi. Once your device reconnects, your photos go straight to your online catalog. You don't have to rename files or upload them a second time.
Whether it's a skid steer, a tractor or a full lot of farm equipment, you can catalog it on site and know the catalog will be there when you get back.
Why faster cataloging means better auctions
Every hour you spend cataloging is an hour you aren't spending on promotion. When you get photos and descriptions online faster, you can open your auction sooner, give bidders more time to find it, and put more effort into marketing it.
The Catalog App works hand in hand with the rest of the NextLot platform. That includes your privately branded auction website, real-time webcast and timed auctions, built-in auction marketing tools, and NextLot Pay for fast invoicing. It's all backed by 24/7 support for you and your bidders.
