TL;DR Summary:

Hammoq turns your pricing process from a bottleneck into a scalable advantage using AI-driven insights from long-term POS data.

In most resale operations, pricing is the slowest part of the process.

• 📦 Intake is quick
  
  
• 🧼 Sorting is manageable
  
  
• 🖨️ Tagging is fast (if already priced)
  
  

But pricing?
That’s where everything slows down.

Why? Because pricing still relies on:

• Analysts manually reviewing data
  
  
• Staff referencing charts or spreadsheets
  
  
• Managers stepping in to approve values
  
  
• Pricing "rules" that change week to week
  
  

And when pricing is slow, everything else backs up:
❌ Inventory piles up
❌ Tags get delayed
❌ Floors stay half-stocked
❌ Margins leak through markdowns

Hammoq eliminates the bottleneck.
It uses 30, 90, and 365+ days of real sales history from your store to automate pricing decisions instantly—per item, per store, per category.

Now, instead of waiting for pricing, your items are ready to hit the floor within minutes.

🧠 Why Manual Pricing Slows Growth

Let’s break down the bottleneck:

• A team member receives a donation
  
  
• They sort it by category, condition, and brand
  
  
• Then wait—or guess—what to price it at
  
  
• Or they ask a floor lead or pricing analyst
  
  
• That person has to review comps, past sales, and trends
  
  
• A price is selected… sometimes days later
  
  

Multiply that process by 100–500 items a day, and you get:

• Backlogged inventory
  
  
• Missed turns
  
  
• Stalled cash flow
  
  
• Lower ASPs due to reactive markdowns
  
  

The reality? Manual pricing doesn’t scale. But Hammoq does.

💡 How Hammoq Turns Pricing Into a Strength

Hammoq plugs directly into your POS data and learns from:

• Average Sale Price (ASP) per category
  
  
• Sell-through velocity per store
  
  
• Seasonal patterns
  
  
• High- and low-performing SKUs
  
  
• Donation frequency by brand and type
  
  

Then, as new inventory enters, Hammoq:

📸 Accepts a photo of the item
🧠 Analyzes category, condition, and brand
📊 Matches it against long-term sales trends
🏷️ Recommends a price that moves inventory and protects margin
🖨️ Sends a price and item details to your tag printer

You’ve now got a smart, repeatable, scalable pricing engine—right at intake.

✅ Key Takeaways:

• Eliminate pricing delays from floor to shelf
  No more items waiting for analyst approval or manager review.
  
  
• Automate what your analysts do—faster
  Hammoq replicates pricing logic with accuracy—without burnout or backlog.
  
  
• Build a repeatable, scalable intake process
  Train any team member to price with AI support, not instinct.
  
  

📉 The Hidden Cost of a Slow Pricing Cycle

Let’s say it takes 3 minutes per item to manually review, price, and tag.
For 300 items a day, that’s 15 hours of labor.

With Hammoq:

• Pricing time drops to under 30 seconds per item
  
  
• Team can handle 500+ items per day
  
  
• ASP improves by $2–$4 per item (thanks to data-driven accuracy)
  
  

Over the course of 300 days:
💰 You gain tens of thousands in recaptured labor time
📈 You unlock hundreds of thousands in recovered margin

🔁 Before & After Snapshot

Before Hammoq:

• Analysts or managers required to review pricing
  
  
• Staff delays tagging until pricing is approved
  
  
• Floor stays half-full during intake backlog
  
  
• Markdown rates increase due to overpricing
  
  

After Hammoq:

• Pricing is automatic based on your store’s historical data
  
  
• Staff tags and shelves items same day
  
  
• ASP improves from smarter pricing

You’re not just moving faster—you’re moving smarter.
