TL;DR Summary:
Hammoq doesn’t just tag items—it transforms your intake station into a smart pricing hub that drives margin from day one.
If you’ve ever walked into the backroom of a busy resale store, you’ve seen it:
📦 Piles of unprocessed donations
🧾 Staff manually checking brands and prices
⏱️ Delays from handwritten tags or outdated price charts
💸 Lost time = lost margin
Intake is where resale revenue should begin. But for many operators, it’s where momentum dies.
Hammoq changes that.
With one photo at intake, Hammoq launches a fully automated, AI-powered workflow:
- 🧠 Recognizes the item
- 🏷️ Assigns the right category and condition
- 📊 Recommends a store-specific price based on ASP and sell-through
- 🖨️ Pushes it to your tag printer—ready for the floor
Now, intake isn’t a bottleneck. It’s a margin-generating pricing engine.
🧠 Why Intake Bottlenecks Hurt Resale Performance
Intake is the heartbeat of your resale operation—but when it’s slowed by:
- Manual brand lookups
- Inconsistent staff training
- Static price charts
- Tagging errors
- Physical backlogs of inventory
…you lose both time and margin.
Even small delays compound fast:
- 1 staff member can manually price 100–150 items per shift
- AI-powered intake with Hammoq? 300–500+ items with higher accuracy
- That’s 2–5x the output, with smarter pricing baked in
The result?
More items priced correctly. Faster shelf replenishment. Higher ASP. Less markdown.
💡 The Hammoq Difference: Price-Backed Intake
Here’s how Hammoq flips the script on intake:
- 📸 Staff snaps a photo of each item
- 🧠 Hammoq identifies category, brand, gender, size, and condition
- 📊 It pulls 30–365+ days of store-specific sales data
- 🏷️ Suggests the best price based on sell-through + ASP
- 🖨️ Pushes to your tag printer
Now, every single item enters the system with:
- The right attributes
- The right price
- A ready-to-sell tag
All without a pricing manager, chart, or spreadsheet.
✅ Key Takeaways:
- Turn donations/returns into revenue faster
Intake time drops—floor time speeds up. - Eliminate pricing backlog
No more boxes sitting unprocessed for days (or weeks). - Works with limited staff and growing volume
Train anyone to intake using just a phone or tablet—and Hammoq handles the rest.
📉 The True Cost of Intake Delays
Let’s say your average item sells for $9.99, and your team processes 200 items per day manually.
With Hammoq:
- You process 400+ per day
- Improve ASP by $2–3 through smarter pricing
- That’s $800–1,200 in added sell-through potential per day
- Over 300 days, that’s $240,000–$360,000 in added revenue—per location
And you don’t have to hire more people or upgrade equipment.
Hammoq transforms time-consuming intake into high-output pricing.
