Starting point
Mike describes EverTrade's earlier inventory process as pen and paper. The work moved toward phone-based intake, scanners, barcode readers, and AI-assisted reading of item information.

Work performed
- Digital inventory intake
- Phone-based tools capture item information, with barcode scanning and AI-assisted extraction helping prepare structured records for a person to review.
- Reusable inventory records
- Inventory export tools provide individual item reports, grouped summaries, and an eBay-oriented bulk-listing CSV from recorded item details.
- Human review and listing preparation
- Pricing, shipping details, photos, and final marketplace review still require a person. A prepared CSV does not automatically publish a listing.
What is documented
- A manual-to-digital workflow
The pen-and-paper starting point and operating workflow are reported by the owner. The application source supports the barcode, photo-analysis, review, and inventory-export paths.
- Real hardware testing
Mike reports testing the intake workflow with real phones and hardware, including barcode scanning and AI-assisted reading of item information. Source inspection supports these paths. The live application also displayed individual reports, grouped summaries, and bulk-listing controls.
Result and evidence limits
This founder-owned implementation shows how a manual inventory workflow can be digitized. It did not replace paid tools in this inventory process. No numerical time saving, software saving, sales increase, or profit improvement is verified. Potential value for another company depends on its actual workflow, costs, and scope.
The operating account and real-hardware testing are owner-reported. Source inspection and implementation checks support functionality, not a comparable before-and-after business result. Exact adoption dates and measured operating results remain to be documented.
