After 21 years in the same home, Siobhan and her family decided it was time for a change. They sold their house and planned a big move across the United States to Seattle, Washington. With decades of memories and belongings to sort through, one of the most overwhelming tasks was figuring out what to do with everything, especially their large book collection. 

 

“We’d been in this house for 21 years,” Siobhan explained. “We had tons and tons of books that we didn’t necessarily want to keep, but we also didn’t want to lose what we had.”

Siobhan knew she didn’t have time to manually document hundreds of book titles. That’s when she turned to Scanlily, a smart inventory app that uses AI to help you keep track of all of your items. Instead of typing everything manually, Siobhan simply took a quick photo in the app. 

 

“It recognized all of my book titles and authors for me,” she explained. 

From there, she could easily review, approve, and save all the information directly in the app.

Using Scanlily made it easier for Siobhan to decide what to keep, what to donate, and what to leave behind without forgetting what she owned. Even if a book wasn’t going to be kept, having it recorded in the app helped her feel less overwhelmed.

 

 “The whole process of moving is really quite emotionally intense,” she shared, “and being able to know where things are is so incredibly important.”
