About
SimpleConsign is a purpose-built cloud-based software solution for consignment stores, resale shops, and vendor malls. Built on Amazon Web Services (AWS), the platform provides a secure and stable foundation for managing every aspect of a consignment or resale business from a single interface. At its core, SimpleConsign offers a full-featured consignment POS system that handles fast checkouts, discount tracking, and vendor splits seamlessly. The inventory management module enables quick item uploads, multi-location tracking, and real-time price comparisons through its Resale Merchandising feature. An AI-Automated Item Entry tool further accelerates inventory intake by reducing manual data entry. Consignor and vendor management tools give store owners the ability to track payouts, manage accounts, and even grant consignors and vendors self-service access to view their own inventory and pricing. Integrated payment processing ties sales directly to inventory and accounting, while a Virtual Terminal (VPOS) supports online and phone-based sales. For vendor malls, SimpleConsign offers centralized checkout, rent collection, vendor payments, and dedicated reporting. Robust reporting tools give store owners actionable insights into sales performance and business health. SimpleConsign is ideal for independent resale boutiques, thrift stores, consignment shops, and multi-vendor malls looking to replace manual processes with an efficient, scalable, cloud-based system. Its simple onboarding and dedicated customer success team make it accessible even for non-technical operators.
