Digitalizing second-hand stores, step-by-step

AlvidioTech specializes in developing AI tools that enhance the convenience and detail of second-hand retail. Kimberlite brings digitalization to the second-hand market by using AI to assist store owners and table renters in the efficient creation and uploading of items, including pictures, pricing, and product specifications, to a web-page, thus streamlining much of the product organization and online visibility.

Sharing as a feature for Second-Hand Business

Users can now share second-hand store tables and items using a link from web pages that Kimberlite AI has created. For many stores and marketplaces, sharing products is the norm, but when it comes to second-hand stores, it’s not as commonplace as it could be. Making these kinds of features more accessible brings more life to the whole act of finding lost treasures from second-hand stores.

It is important to bring digitalization into sectors that have still been left out of it, especially making services more enjoyable and accessible. Table renters can now share a direct link to their table and items, or a customer can share a specific item they have found (a picture of a tag). Content can be shared to social media, messaging apps, or even by adding links to their personal website. This way, users can explore what’s available in the most interesting parts of the store before they have even set foot there. It’s a simple way of making online browsing more accessible and a richer experience, and who wouldn’t want to share the treasures they find with their friends and family.Shared pages include the table number, which tells the location of the table in the store itself, a list of products that table has, or when sharing a specific item, it has the name, price, and pictures of it. Clothes typically have a picture of the front and back, while other items can have a 360-degree picture shown of them. This small but practical feature helps to promote tables in the store, helps to promote both general and seasonal items, and brings the store a step further in digitalization.We feel that technology should be natural and accessible to all;  bringing new features will improve the accessibility of different services and make the thrift store experience more enjoyable for everyone. In the future, we will be adding a share button to product and table pages to make the experience more fluid and constant across experiences.
