How it works
How PackFresh products work together
They share one catalogue, 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
- NetDeckYou finish a deck. Four cards in it are ones you do not own.
- 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.
- MarketplaceYou buy one from a seller whose completed sales and disputes you can see before you commit.
- Your collectionIt arrives in your inventory on its own. The deck stops listing it as missing.
- PricesWhat you paid becomes part of what that card is worth to everyone tomorrow.
A shop
From the counter to the customer
- Point of saleA card sells in store. Stock goes down by one.
- Your channelsThe listing comes off Shopify and eBay automatically, because there was only ever one of that card and it is gone.
- MarketplaceYour remaining stock stays accurate to the buyer looking at it right now.
- AnalyticsYou can see what actually sells, what is aging on the shelf, and which channel is worth your time.
- The next customerSomebody hunting that card finds you, because their want list and your case are looking at the same catalogue.
The map
Every product, and what it touches
Products do not talk to each other directly. They all read and write the same shared records, which is why adding one makes the others more useful instead of just making the list longer.
Hover or focus a product to see what it reads and writes
What they share
Four things, kept in one place
- Identity
- What a thing is, and who a person is. One catalogue, one account.
- Inventory
- Who owns how many. The root node everything else binds to.
- Trust
- Whether you can rely on the person on the other side.
- Liquidity
- Every item has a path from ownership to value, and back.
- Intelligence
- What everything is worth, and what is about to happen. The output that feeds the rest.
If you want the engineering version of this, it is on the platform page.
Who helps who
Which products make which other products better
Worked out from what each product reads and writes, rather than asserted. Some help each other directly; others do it through something they share and never touch.
