A clearer view of every auction

Creating an inventory of an abandoned storage unit can be very time-consuming, whether you do it yourself or hire a professional team. Scheduling a 3^rd party and completing the inventory can take weeks, delaying the auction listing and your ability to recover the space.

That’s where AuctionLens comes in.

AuctionLens uses AI to scan uploaded photos, identify visible items, and create a draft inventory for your auction listing in seconds at a fraction of the cost. It brings a smarter, faster approach to a long-standing challenge for storage operators: documenting the contents of a customer’s unit before sale.

From photos to a draft inventory

Upload photos as part of your usual iBidOnStorage listing process. AuctionLens turns the visible contents into item tags and a draft inventory in seconds. Sellers can then review, edit, or add to the results before the listing goes live.

The tags also make items searchable, helping bidders find listings that include things they’re looking for, such as a guitar or a sofa.

What this means for your facility

• Save time: Get a draft inventory quickly, without writing every description from scratch.
• Create more complete listings: AI-assisted item recognition can help bring visible goods into the inventory, including in mixed or cluttered units.
• Keep control: Review and adjust the suggested items before publishing.
• Support a clear record: iBidOnStorage auctions include an audit trail. A downloadable PDF can record inventoried items, views, and bids, helping document how the auction performed.
• Make items easier to find: Searchable tags help connect listings with interested bidders.

AuctionLens is built into the iBidOnStorage listing process, so there’s no separate tool or extra manual data entry to manage.

Award-winning innovation, built around the industry

We’re proud to share that iBidOnStorage has won the FEDESSA Innovation Award 2026. Having previously received the award in 2021, it means a great deal to be recognised again.

Since our first win, our focus has been on more than delivering a product. We aim to provide personal, bespoke service that brings lasting improvements for storage operators and Sellers across Europe. AuctionLens is one example: practical technology designed around a real operational challenge.

No operator wants to sell a customer’s contents, but sometimes it becomes necessary. Creating a clear inventory can be one of the most difficult parts of that process. AuctionLens applies AI to help make listing creation faster and more consistent, while keeping sellers in charge of the final result.
