Reads what you actually hand it
Vehicle portions, insurance slips, driver's licences, safety certificates, auction invoices, lien searches. Photographed on a phone, in bad lighting, at an angle.
Stop typing VINs. Photograph them.
A seventeen-character VIN keyed by hand is a transposition waiting to happen — and you key it into the bill of sale, the register, the listing and the ledger. Lot Jacket reads it once off the document and writes it everywhere it belongs.

What it does on a real desk.
The parser does the typing
OCR gives you text. The parser gives you fields — VIN, year, make, model, odometer, owner, address, lien status — each one landing in the right box on the deal.
Filed before you stand up
Every scan lands in that vehicle's jacket, stamped and dated. Nothing sits in a camera roll waiting to be filed on Friday.
The honest comparison
Same deal, two Tuesdays.
Without a scanner
- VIN keyed four times into four places
- Photos of the ownership living in a camera roll
- Odometer typed from memory, then corrected later
- Buyer address re-typed onto every form
- Missing document found weeks after delivery
With Lot Jacket
- VIN read once, written everywhere
- Every document attached to its own jacket
- Odometer captured off the document itself
- Buyer details flow into the bill of sale
- Missing document flagged before the customer leaves
Questions dealers actually ask.
What's the difference between OCR and the parser?
OCR turns a photo into text; the parser turns that text into typed deal fields. A scanner that stops at OCR hands you a wall of characters to copy from. Lot Jacket's parser reads the VIN, year, make, model, odometer, owner, address and lien status off the document and drops each into the matching field on the deal, so nothing is retyped.
Which documents can the scanner read?
The paperwork an Ontario deal actually runs on: the ownership (vehicle portion), the insurance slip, the driver's licence, the safety standards certificate, auction invoices and lien searches. They can be photographed on a phone, at an angle, in bad light. Each scan attaches to that vehicle's jacket with a date stamp.
Do I still have to check what it reads?
Yes. Extraction removes the typing, not the judgment. You confirm the values against the document before they feed the bill of sale, and you still decide whether something on a vehicle history report crosses a disclosure threshold. The scanner's job is to make the confirmation a glance instead of a re-key.
Does it read lien searches?
Yes. Lien status is one of the fields the parser extracts, and a lien search photographed at intake attaches to the unit's jacket. For how to run the search itself and what the UVIP does and doesn't cover, see our guide to PPSA lien searches for Ontario dealers.
What happens to the scan after it's read?
It is filed to the vehicle's deal jacket immediately, and the fields it produced feed the bill of sale and the garage register from the same record. Nothing waits in a camera roll to be filed later, which matters because a deal file is only useful in an OMVIC inspection if the document is actually in it.
