How it works

How PackFresh products work together

They share one catalog, one record of what you own, and one set of prices. So what you do in one product shows up correctly in the others, without exporting a spreadsheet.

Two journeys, then the map.

A collector

From a deck to a card in your binder

1. NetDeckYou finish a deck. Four cards in it are ones you do not own.
2. ScoutThose four become things to watch for. Scout checks retail and the marketplace and messages you when one shows up at a price you said yes to.
3. MarketplaceYou buy one from a seller whose completed sales and disputes you can see before you commit.
4. Your collectionIt arrives in your inventory on its own. The deck stops listing it as missing.
5. PricesWhat you paid becomes part of what that card is worth to everyone tomorrow.

A shop

From the counter to the customer

1. Point of saleA card sells in store. Stock goes down by one.
2. Your channelsThe listing comes off Shopify and eBay automatically, because there was only ever one of that card and it is gone.
3. MarketplaceYour remaining stock stays accurate to the buyer looking at it right now.
4. AnalyticsYou can see what actually sells, what is aging on the shelf, and which channel is worth your time.
5. The next customerSomebody hunting that card finds you, because their want list and your case are looking at the same catalog.

The map

Every product, and what it touches

PackFresh products read and write the same underlying records rather than keeping separate copies of your collection, your inventory and your account. That is why adding one makes the others more useful instead of just making the list longer.

What they share

Four things, kept in one place

Identity

What a thing is, and who a person is. One catalog, one account.

Inventory

Who owns how many, and where it is. Everything else hangs off this record.

Trust

Whether you can rely on the person on the other side.

Liquidity

Every item has a path from ownership to value, and back.

And what those four produce

Intelligence

What everything is worth, and what is likely to happen next. Worked out from the other four rather than maintained by hand.

If you want the engineering version of this, it is on the platform page.

The engineering version

Which products make which others better is worked out from what each one reads and writes, rather than asserted. That table, and the systems underneath it, are on the platform page.
