Actual product — the app running at [Millers Restoration](https://1800millers.com)

Built for high-volume item workflows

Mobile-first for field & warehouse teams

Photo evidence at every stage

Audit-ready exports

Built by TetraCore inside [Millers Restoration](https://1800millers.com) — not a demo warehouse.

TetraCore built ItemStage in cooperation with [Millers Restoration](https://1800millers.com) — developed on the floor of a working contents operation, alongside the team running its pack-outs. Since February 2026 that facility has processed **10,000+ items** and captured **118,000+ photos** through ItemStage, with a **12-minute median** from intake to completed — real production data, as of July 9, 2026.

[Read the case study](/case-study)

The problem

## Legacy tools were built for paperwork. ItemStage was built for throughput.

-   Slow tools reduce unit volume.
-   Photos get scattered across phones and folders.
-   Item status is hard to see across facilities, trailers, and teams.
-   Required process checks are missed.
-   Audit trails take too long to assemble.
-   Managers lack real-time visibility into throughput.

The workflow

## Scan. Process. Prove.  Export.

A single mobile-first workflow that captures every step from intake to audit-ready export.

01 

### Register every item

Scan or enter serial numbers. Capture model, location, and intake photos in seconds.

02 

### Move through required stages

Configurable multi-stage workflows enforce the exact process your facility runs.

03 

### Capture photos & checklist answers

Gated checklists ensure required photo evidence and process checks aren't skipped.

04 

### Export a full audit trail

One-click chain-of-custody export — photos, answers, timestamps, dispositions.

The real app

## Not mockups — the app your crew will hold.

Screens from the shipping product, captured on the floor at Millers Restoration.

![Register Item screen: scan or enter serial and model numbers, set location and assignee](/screenshots/register-item.png)

Scan-driven intake

Serial + model by barcode, location, assignee — under 30 seconds per item.

![Process questions checklist that gates a stage transition](/screenshots/process-questions.png)

Stage-gated checks

Required process questions — items can't advance without answers.

![Item search screen finding items by serial, stage, and status](/screenshots/item-search.png)

Find anything fast

Any item by serial, stage, or status — no more warehouse hide-and-seek.

![Reporting dashboard with throughput and disposition breakdowns](/screenshots/reporting-2.png)

Throughput reporting

Items per day, stage, and team — the numbers ops managers are measured on.

![Item detail editing screen with stage history and photos](/screenshots/item-editing.png)

Full item history

Every stage, photo, and handler on one record.

![Chain-of-custody export screen producing PDF and image archive](/screenshots/export.png)

One-click export

Chain-of-custody PDF + image archive, per item or per job.

Use cases

## Wherever physical items move through staged work.

ItemStage's workflow engine fits operations where photo evidence and chain of custody are mission-critical.

### Restoration contents processing

Pack-outs, cleaning, photo evidence, and disposition for insurance claims.

### Equipment refurbishment

Serial-tracked intake, multi-stage rebuild, inspection, and certification.

### Appliance certification

Standardized inspections with required photos and pass/fail criteria.

### Industrial reconditioning

Heavy units across bays and trailers with clear hand-off between teams.

### Warranty inspection

Documented condition, photos, and disposition for warranty claims.

### Specialty high-value item repair

Chain-of-custody proof for high-value items moving between locations.

Chain of custody

## Every item. Every stage. Every photo. Time-stamped.

ItemStage's chain-of-custody record links serialized items to staged photo evidence, checklist answers, location, and the team member responsible — and exports cleanly when you need proof.

FAQ

## Fair questions from ops managers.

### Is ItemStage priced per user?

No. Every plan is per facility with unlimited users — the whole floor uses it at one price. Operator starts at $299/month and Facility at $699/month. Compare that with per-user tools, where a 20-person crew at $35/user runs $700/month before add-ons.

### Does ItemStage replace Encircle or Assured PackOut?

For high-volume processing floors, often yes: serialized barcode intake, stage-gated photos and checklists, dispositions, and one-click chain-of-custody export cover the floor workflow end to end. Shops that need Xactimate-native claims export sometimes keep a claims tool alongside ItemStage — the comparison pages give the honest breakdown.

### Does it work offline in a warehouse?

Yes. The mobile app is offline-first: crews scan, photograph, and log items with no signal in warehouses, basements, or trailers, and everything syncs when connectivity returns.

### How do exports reach adjusters?

One click produces a chain-of-custody PDF export for insurance or audit review plus a complete time-stamped image archive, per item or per job — ready to send to an adjuster, auditor, or carrier. CSV export covers your data portability.

### How long does setup take?

Most facilities are running within days. The paid 30-day workflow pilot — your first month, billed at signup, cancel anytime — includes stage configuration, crew training on their own phones, and a throughput measurement against your current process.
