TradePulse

TradePulse is a web + mobile app for retailers running trade-in programs (electronics, sneakers, outdoor gear, baby items). It standardizes intake so staff and customers stop arguing about “condition.” Users answer a guided checklist, upload photos, and get an offer range backed by recent resale comps and the retailer’s own margin rules. At drop-off, the app runs a fast verification flow (photo match + checklist) and generates a QR receipt, reducing disputes and chargebacks. For retailers, it includes a simple dashboard to set pricing bands, auto-adjust offers by inventory levels, and track conversion from offer to completed trade. This is not a marketplace; it’s a trade-in operating layer that plugs into existing POS/ecom. Realistically, the hard part is retailer adoption and integrations, so the MVP should target Shopify-based stores first.
