The shop

This shop accepts unique clothing throughout the week. Every piece needs a consignor, price, status and payout rule before it can earn its place on the rack.

On busy intake days, garment details were written down first and entered later. That delay made it harder to answer consignor questions, keep the floor current and know which sold items were ready for payout.

What matters to the owner

The system has to earn its place in the shop.

Time

Make one-off intake repeatable

A busy delivery should not create hours of retyping after closing. Every staff member needs the same short, dependable intake path.

Daily numbers

Know what sold—and whose it was

The owner needs a daily sales picture that connects every sold garment to its consignor and agreed share.

Trust

Explain every balance clearly

When a consignor asks about a sale or payout, the answer should come from a traceable record rather than memory.

A calmer operating rhythm

Three changes that bring the day together.

01

Capture it once

The team creates the consignor and item record together at intake, then prints the shop label from the same flow.

02

Share one status

Available, sold and payout-ready items stay connected, so the counter and back office see the same answer.

03

Review before paying

The owner reviews a clear payout queue instead of rebuilding the sale history from notes and spreadsheets.

How the day runs

The workflow, moment by moment.

Each hand-off keeps the same item and consignor story intact.

01 · At intake

Receive and identify every piece

Select the consignor, record the garment and its condition, agree the price and commission, then create the label while the piece is still at the counter.

02 · On the rack

Keep its live status visible

The item record shows whether a piece is available, sold, nearing the end of its listing or ready for a decision, so staff do not need to rely on memory.

03 · When it sells

Connect the sale to the right owner

The sold item remains linked to its consignor and agreed split. The sale moves into the payout workflow without somebody re-entering it later.

04 · At payout time

Review the full calculation

The owner can see which sold items are included, what the shop keeps and what the consignor is due before recording the payment.

Confidence at the counter

Questions the owner can answer without chasing the paper trail.

  1. 01Who owns this piece and what did we agree?
  2. 02Is it available, sold or nearing the end of its listing?
  3. 03What is this consignor currently owed?
  4. 04Which pieces have been sitting too long?

Before

The work followed the gaps.

The last hour of the day was often spent matching tags, messages and sale records. A simple status question could mean checking several places.

With Idlevo

The information follows the item.

New pieces move from intake to the rack in one flow. The team can answer questions at the counter, and the owner closes the day with fewer loose ends.
