Multi-store buyback, inventory, and sales — built in-house from zero.

ReStock is a product-management platform for multi-store reuse operators that integrates everything from second-hand buyback appraisal through product registration, all-store inventory, sales, product history, and gross-profit analysis into a single core.

"Company-wide inventory is invisible, per-item gross profit can't be tracked, buyback-to-sale history is manual, and master-data operations are cumbersome" — the story of launching a new platform, built in-house from zero in 9 months, that satisfies all four axes the reuse business needs at once.

CLIENT
About the client

ReuseMart Co., Ltd., a leading domestic player driving the reuse and buyback industry.

ReuseMart Co., Ltd. is a multi-store reuse operator handling a wide range of second-hand goods — furniture, appliances, brand-name items, gift certificates, and more. Its business model buys products from customers at each store, registers them as inventory, and sells them across all stores.

As the store count grew, the previously fragmented per-store inventory and buyback ledgers were unified, and a core system that lets headquarters grasp company-wide inventory and per-item profitability in real time was built in-house from zero together with AMELA.

CHALLENGE
Design challenges to solve

The four structural requirements demanded of the platform.

None of these were technology-selection issues; they were business requirements tied directly to opportunity loss, profitability management, operational efficiency, and scalability. A greenfield build required a design that satisfied them all at once.

Leaving company-wide inventory invisible makes opportunity loss and stock imbalance the norm
While per-store inventory and buyback ledgers remain scattered, HQ can't instantly grasp company-wide stock and overlooks where best-sellers concentrate.
Without per-item gross profit, purchasing decisions come down to guesswork
If buyback cost and sale price can't be linked per item, profitability becomes opaque, so you can't decide which category to focus purchasing on.
Recording buyback-to-sale history by hand invites transcription errors and traceability problems
When product history is scattered across paper and separate files, transcription errors occur, and tracing what happened later becomes difficult.
Get master-data and permission design wrong and operational load balloons without limit
If master data and permissions for stores, staff, and categories are built ad hoc, operational load stays chronically high and collapses with each new store.

ARCHITECTURE
The architecture we built together

Turning buyback-to-sale into a scalable foundation across four domains.

Four domains — inventory unification, gross-profit visibility, workflow integration, and master-data & permission setup — were built in-house from zero together with ReuseMart Co., Ltd. Each domain is robust on its own, yet connects from buyback appraisal through gross-profit analysis in a single flow.
