Industries/Consumer Goods

Product identification and channel control, at the scale consumer goods move.

Consumer goods companies know their products and lose sight of them the moment they leave the warehouse. Vendidit identifies a product from a photograph anywhere it appears, and applies the company's channel rules to what happens next.

The product catalog is the most valuable record a consumer goods company has, and it stops at the loading dock.

Returns, overstock, samples and secondary market inventory all leave the catalog's control. Identification downstream is manual, channel rules are unenforced, and recovery is whatever the liquidator offers.

The platform extends the catalog to the item. A photograph identifies the product against the company's own data, the disposition follows the company's rules, and the channel is one the company has approved.

Where the technology changes the work

Four applications.

01

Identification against the catalog

A photograph identifies the product, the variant and the condition against the company's own product data, wherever the item is.

02

Channel rules, enforced

Restrictions on where a product may be sold, at what price and in what condition are applied automatically to every disposition.

03

Overstock and returns recovery

Inventory that will not sell at full price is routed to approved channels before it becomes a liquidation lot.

04

Secondary market visibility

The company sees its products in the secondary market as records, not as a rumor from a sales team.

What we optimize for

Stakeholders and outcomes.
