Vessor is the point-of-sale system built for resale and consignment shops. This app is the shop-floor companion: it runs on the phones and iPads your staff carry, signed in to your shop's Vessor account. SCAN ANY TAG. Point the camera at a tag and the item is on screen: photo, price, consignor, status. Or type the tag number, if that's faster. TAKE ITEMS IN, ONE PHOTO AT A TIME. Photograph a piece and Vessor's AI identifies it (brand, era, material) and drafts the listing for your review. What used to take fifteen minutes of typing takes one photo. An iPad on the intake bench logs items back to back. NEVER SELL THE SAME ITEM TWICE. The moment an item sells online, your floor gets pinged and the item lands in the pull queue, so it comes off the rack before someone buys it twice. THE CONSIGNOR BOOKS, IN YOUR POCKET. Look up any consignor from the floor: their items, balances, and what they're owed. A CUSTOMER DISPLAY WHEN YOU WANT ONE. Stand an iPad on the counter facing your customer: it mirrors the register as the sale rings up, takes consignor signatures, and lets customers join your rewards program themselves. WORKS WHEN THE WI-FI DOESN'T. Scanning keeps working from an on-device snapshot of your floor when the connection drops. Vessor is business software. Your shop's account is created at vessor.ai, staff sign in here, and checkout itself runs in the Vessor web register. This app is everything else your floor does. Built for clothing, vintage, records, furniture, collectibles, art, and whatever one-of-a-kind things you sell. Questions? Reach us anytime at tony@vessor.ai.
