The old way
Scattered across platforms, typed by hand, printed in panic.
Spreadsheets by email
Bloodline data retyped three times. Horn lengths in millimetres on one row, inches on the next.
Four weeks of manual layout
A designer pastes each lot by hand. A last-minute change breaks the grid. The printer is waiting.
Errors reach the auction floor
The wrong picture on lot 47. The wrong DNA on lot 112. Bids are withdrawn. The catalogue is reprinted.
How it works
Three steps. Whatever is easiest.
Owners, breeders and designers contribute in the way that suits them. Phone, laptop or bulk spreadsheet. The data platform, with AI help, does the rest.
Step 01 · Any contributor
Upload, however it suits you
Take animal photos on a phone. Drag in logos and graphics from a laptop. Bulk upload lots with a ready-made Excel or spreadsheet template. Or type them in by hand. Whatever fits the day.
Step 02 · Our platform plus AI
We tidy and organise
Our wildlife AI engine crops photos, formats measurements into proper fractions, cleans up typing mistakes and organises everything by lot. Every file is kept at its original resolution. The platform is always the place to check if you are not sure about something.
Step 03 · Owner or designer
Export how you need it
Get a clean Excel file with all the data, or a print-ready catalogue PDF with a matching plain-proof PDF. Or both. Switch between options at any time, at no extra cost.
Wildlife AI engine
Our wildlife AI engine
Type your notes quickly. You do not need to worry about spelling, grammar or structure. The wildlife AI engine reads your notes, fixes the mistakes and rewrites them into clean, well-written lot descriptions. Ready for the catalogue, ready for the auction floor.
