# Track every unit from intake to certification.

ItemStage gives refurbishment and certification operations a serialized, photo-backed workflow for every unit — from intake through inspection to certification and exportable proof.

The workflow

## A clean, defensible record for every unit you ship.

01 

### Serialized intake

Scan or enter serials. Capture model, source, and intake condition with photos.

02 

### Processing stages

Configurable rebuild, repair, and refurb stages tuned to your operation.

03 

### Inspection

Required checklist answers and photo evidence captured at the inspection stage.

04 

### Certification

Certify units that pass criteria. Disposition the rest cleanly.

05 

### Proof package

Export a per-unit chain-of-custody PDF for insurance or audit review plus a complete time-stamped image archive — ready to ship with the unit.

## Certifications are only as good as the proof behind them.

ItemStage makes that proof automatic. Every certified unit ships with a complete chain-of-custody record — photos, checks, timestamps, and the team member who signed off.
