Process Item Drop-offs 3x Faster-No More Paper Roster Nightmares

Consignment Helper's Rapid Barcode Check-in turns drop-off day chaos into a smooth, organized operation. Scan a consignor's confirmation barcode, verify their identity, scan their items, and you're done. Average processing time drops from 15+ minutes to under 5.

The Problem: Drop-off Day Disaster

It's Thursday morning-drop-off day. A line of consignors wraps around the building, each one clutching bags and boxes of items they've spent weeks preparing.

Your volunteers are flipping through paper rosters, squinting at handwritten names, and manually counting items. "Was that Johnson with an 'o' or Johnston with a 't'?" Meanwhile, the line isn't moving.

Consignors who drove 30 minutes are now waiting 45 more. They're frustrated before the sale even starts. Some leave. Some vow never to participate again.

Paper-Based Check-in Problems

  • Average wait time: 25+ minutes per consignor
  • Misread names lead to items assigned to wrong sellers
  • Manual item counts are slow and error-prone
  • No way to know who's missing until it's too late

A Bad Drop-off Experience Costs You Future Consignors

Consignors talk. When someone waits an hour in the sun to drop off their kids' clothes, they tell every other mom in their Facebook group. Next season, your registrations drop.

And those payout disputes? Half of them trace back to check-in errors. Wrong item counts. Items credited to the wrong consignor. Problems that started before the sale even opened.

Your check-in process is the first impression of your sale. Make it count.
