Why QuickShot Exists
QuickShot was created to eliminate the slow, manual steps that traditionally slowed down high-volume inventory:
Choosing categories
Typing brand/make/model
Writing descriptions
With QuickShot + AI, one photo captures the item, and a second optional photo captures label or brand information when needed.
QuickShot is ideal for:
Large volumes of non-salvage items
Restorable clothing, where each garment is billed individually
It converts repetitive manual entry into a fast, image-driven workflow.
Best Use Cases (When to Use QuickShot)
🛁 Bathrooms – toiletries, makeup, grooming items
Fast non-salvage capture.
🧸 Kids’ Rooms – toys, games, accessories
Most items need only one photo.
👕 Clothing – Cleaning / Restoration
Fastest workflow for garments
Brand/model not required
One photo per garment (second only if label needed)
Items placed in a bill-by-item container (e.g., Garment Bag)
👕 Clothing – Non-Salvage
First photo captures the garment
Second photo captures the label if brand/model aren’t visible
Maximum two photos
📺 Simple Electronics (1–2 photos)
Example:
1 front image
1 model/serial label image
🔥 High-volume non-salvage rooms
Fire, water, mold, hoarding, or any scenario where speed matters.

When Not to Use QuickShot
❌ Items requiring more than two photos
Commercial equipment, high-value electronics, anything needing multiple angles.
❌ Items requiring detailed damage documentation
Example: speakers with crushed corners that need multiple damage photos.
❌ Flat-fee cleaning boxes
These are billed by the box, so QuickShot cannot be used.
❌ Any scenario needing more than two images
QuickShot intentionally limits to two to maintain speed and simplicity.
