Built specifically for charity retail at scale

Busy retail environment with high volume of items

The problem

We're drowning in donations

Bulk intake at scale

Photograph a donated item and AI handles the rest: category, brand, size, condition, description, and a suggested price. Process hundreds of items per shift with volunteers who learned the system in minutes.

  • Under 10 seconds per item
  • AI fills 200+ attributes automatically
  • Barcode printing for in-store tracking

The problem

Pricing is inconsistent across shops

AI pricing trained on your data

Every staff member and volunteer prices differently. AI pricing gives consistent, data-backed suggestions based on your store's actual sales history, not generic marketplace guesses.

  • Trained on your sell-through patterns
  • Consistent across all locations
  • Adapts to your pricing strategy over time

The problem

We can't get items online fast enough

One platform, every channel

Sync your inventory to Shopify, sell in-store with Square or Zettle POS, and manage everything from one dashboard. Sell an item in the shop and it disappears from your website automatically.

  • Shopify sync with your own online store
  • POS integration for in-store sales
  • Real-time inventory across all channels
