Product / Quick Start

3 photos. No integration. Live tomorrow.

Quick Start is how a site with an existing WMS begins without waiting on anyone. Photograph the item, photograph your own serial, done. Upstream builds the record against that serial and your system finds the unit when it sells.

01 · How it works

3 photographs and you are done.

01

Photograph the item

Two photographs of the item as it is received. A phone is enough.

Photograph your serial

The last photograph is the serial or label your own system already put on the item. That becomes the key.

Upstream takes it from there

Identity, condition, value and a decision come back against your serial. Put it on the shelf with your own system. When we tell you it sold, find it with your system and ship it with our label.

02 · What it removes

The parts that used to take a quarter.

01

Integration with every seller or brand

One relationship with the business unit is enough. Upstream identifies the item from the photograph, not from a feed.

02

Engineering time

Nothing for your team to build. Nothing for ours to wait on.

03

The opt in problem

Nobody has to enroll item by item for the returns to be seen.

04

The wait

The backlog that used to be dealt with after an implementation is where Quick Start begins.

03 · The backlog

Every operator has one. Start there.

A Quick Start pass through a backlog produces two things. Manifested wholesale pallets a buyer can trust, and a Gaylord of items worth selling on their own. The pile that has been growing for years starts shrinking the first day.
