Snap a photo, get a resale listing
At minimum a resale page needs an image, a description, and a price. In the past you had to wait until you had dozens of units to justify the work. Today AI and individualized inventory make one-off listings fast enough to profit even on 5 dollar items.
How the flow works
- Intake a return or a second hand item and take a single photo.
- AI registers the item in inventory with condition notes and identifiers.
- Catalog match pulls canonical product data like brand, model, and specs.
- Pricing automation suggests an appropriate price based on condition and market data.
- A ready-to-publish listing is generated for web and POS at the same time.
Why this matters
- Unit economics work for low priced goods by removing manual data entry.
- Omnichannel by default list online while labeling for in store shelves.
- Faster sell-through on returns with clear condition and images.
- Consistent data quality across catalog, inventory, and orders.
Who benefits
- Thrift and second hand stores.
- Recommerce operators processing product returns.
- Rental businesses flipping ex-rental items.
Implementation tips
- Standardize photos and backgrounds for better recognition.
- Capture one hero image plus close-ups of wear.
- Use rules for taxes, shipping, and price brackets by condition.
- Sync inventory across channels to avoid overselling.
Automate the boring steps and focus on sourcing. With AI assisted intake, your team can productize returns at scale, maintain margin, and run a unified online plus in-store business without sacrificing accuracy or speed.
