Administrative Mobile App
The Maxanet Mobile App, included with your monthly subscription, is available for both Apple and Android devices.

It also features a "Fast Pic Taker" mode—ideal for clients using a hybrid workflow—allowing quick, real-time photo uploads while managing item descriptions via Excel.
Inventory & Photos
Maxanet makes uploading inventory and high-resolution photos easy and efficient. Use the integrated uploader for quick item creation or Excel Bulk Upload for detailed listings with custom fields.

Maxanet simplifies consignor management with built-in tools to add or convert users into consignors, assign inventory, and automatically generate settlement reports.
