Auction sheet management, read automatically by AI.
CarDeal365 reads Japanese auction sheets with AI — grade, damage diagram, mileage, and equipment auto-fill into the vehicle record the moment a lot is won, no manual re-typing.
Automatic Grade Capture
Interior, exterior, and overall grade are read from the sheet and stored with the unit.
Damage Diagram Notes
Damage markers and notes are captured so condition history isn't lost after the auction.
Mileage & Equipment
Mileage and equipment codes auto-fill into the record, ready for listing and quoting.
Why auction sheet management is its own problem
Every vehicle sold through a Japanese auction house comes with an auction sheet — a standardized report covering grade, interior and exterior condition scores, a damage diagram, mileage, and equipment. It's the single most important document for pricing a used unit and building buyer trust, yet in most export businesses it's still read by eye and typed into a spreadsheet by hand, one field at a time, hundreds of times a month.
That manual step is where mistakes creep in: a grade misread, a damage note skipped, a mileage figure transposed. Those small errors compound into pricing mistakes and buyer disputes weeks later, when nobody can remember which auction sheet a discrepancy came from.
CarDeal365's AI auction sheet reader removes that manual step. Upload or capture the auction sheet, and the system reads grade, damage diagram notes, mileage, and equipment codes automatically, auto-filling them directly into the vehicle's inventory record. What used to take minutes of careful transcription per unit becomes a verification step instead of a data-entry job.
Because the extracted data lives on the same record used for inventory, pricing, and export documents, auction sheet management stops being an isolated filing task and becomes the foundation the rest of the workflow builds on. Grade and condition inform pricing; damage notes inform buyer communication; mileage and equipment feed directly into listings and export paperwork — all traceable back to the original sheet without re-keying anything.

Auction sheet management FAQ
What is an auction sheet?
An auction sheet is the standardized inspection report issued by Japanese auction houses that records a vehicle's grade, interior and exterior condition scores, a damage diagram, mileage, and equipment.
How does CarDeal365's AI auction sheet reader work?
It reads the auction sheet image and extracts grade, damage notes, mileage, and equipment codes automatically, then auto-fills them into the vehicle's inventory record instead of requiring manual data entry.
Why does auction sheet management matter for export businesses?
Auction sheet data drives pricing, buyer trust, and dispute resolution. Keeping it accurate and attached to each vehicle record reduces mistakes and speeds up the time between winning a bid and listing the unit.
