About
TWICE is a circular commerce operating system designed for businesses that rent, resell, or run subscription models. Whether you're a local repair shop, a global reverse logistics operator, or an entrepreneur launching a rental brand, TWICE provides the infrastructure to manage your entire recommerce workflow from a single platform. At its core, TWICE offers serialized single-SKU inventory management, meaning each individual item — a refurbished laptop, a rented ski, a returned sofa — is tracked with its own condition grade, pricing history, and photos. This granularity removes the guesswork from secondhand and rental operations. Dynamic catalog and pricing tools allow merchants to create smart listings tied to rules like condition or seasonality, ensuring optimal pricing across every channel. Multi-location and multi-channel support keeps stock synced in real time across online stores, physical locations, marketplaces, and click-and-collect points — eliminating double-selling and stock-outs. TWICE also provides a ready-to-use storefront and a powerful back-office with user roles and permissions, making it suitable for solo sellers and large teams alike. Its API-first architecture enables seamless integration into existing commerce stacks. Key use cases include product return resale, equipment rental, clothing subscription boxes, and secondhand marketplaces. Businesses benefit from automated order processing, item-level profitability insights, and streamlined onboarding for new team members.
