TL;DR Summary:
Hammoq tags items using real-time store performance data—so each price drives sell-through, not clutter.
In thrift retail, it’s not what you process—it’s what you move that drives profit.
Too many stores struggle with racks full of items that just won’t sell. Why?
Because many are:
- Priced too high for demand
- Priced too low, leaving margin on the table
- Priced inconsistently between stores and staff
Hammoq fixes this.
It tags each item using your store’s real sales data—not opinions or outdated cheat sheets.
From a single photo, Hammoq applies smart pricing logic based on:
✅ Your past 30, 90, or 365+ days of sell-through
✅ Historical Average Sale Price (ASP) by category
✅ Item condition, brand, and size
✅ Real demand trends at that store
The result?
Tags that move inventory quickly—without leaving money behind.
🧠 Why Inventory Stalls Without Smart Tagging
Common reasons items stay stuck on thrift racks:
🛑 Overpriced by gut feeling
If an item is priced based on appearance alone, you risk missing where demand actually lands.
🛑 Underpriced for margin
Selling out instantly is great—unless you just lost $5+ of potential margin because the price was too low.
🛑 Outdated pricing standards
Many thrift stores use old pricing charts that don’t reflect recent customer behavior or demand trends.
🛑 Inconsistent team pricing
Different staff members price the same jacket at $6.99, $12.99, and $19.99 across stores.
The result: racks full of stale inventory, markdown cycles, and lost margin.

🔁 Before vs. After Snapshot:
Before Hammoq:
- Pricing inconsistencies between team members
- Items stall for 2–4 weeks before selling
- Frequent markdowns needed to clear floor
- Inventory cycles too slow
After Hammoq:
- AI-driven pricing based on real demand
- More inventory sells within first 7–14 days
- Fewer markdowns required
- Faster floor-to-cash cycle = better margins
📈 Why Faster Turnover Matters
Faster turnover drives profit—not just more volume.
Example:
Without Hammoq:
- 200 jackets priced manually
- Average sell-through: 5 weeks
- 20% of jackets require markdown
With Hammoq:
- 200 jackets priced via AI-driven tagging
- Average sell-through: 2–3 weeks
- 5% of jackets require markdown
- More sales at full margin → higher profitability per rack
Every week an item sits is margin risk.
