Source, shelf, ship
Build a workstation that earns its space.
Fix the biggest bottleneck first. Add hardware only when it saves time, errors, or label cost.
Build the station in this order.
A clear handoff keeps inventory from becoming a pile of unlabeled decisions.
- 1
Intake and identify
Give every item an ID, estimate resale value, and record source cost before it moves.
- 2
Photograph
Use a repeatable background and lighting setup sized for your normal inventory.
- 3
Store and find
Add a stable SKU and shelf location before buying barcode hardware.
- 4
Pack and weigh
Choose a scale with useful low-end readability and headroom for your heaviest parcel.
- 5
Print and ship
Match 4×6 media, connection, and workload to your exact shipping workflow.
- 6
Measure profit
Include fees, shipping, packaging, and hardware instead of tracking revenue alone.
Choose the decision blocking you now.
Each tool ends with a practical buy, skip, or setup recommendation.
