ItemStage runs the contents side of a restoration operation — pack-out, cleaning, chamber, inspection, storage, pack-back — with barcode intake, stage-gated photo evidence, dispositions, and one-click adjuster-ready exports. Per-facility pricing from $299/mo, unlimited users — built by TetraCore inside a working contents operation.
Restoration item processing software is the operational system a restoration team uses to track individual physical items — contents, equipment, appliances — through staged work like pack-out, cleaning, inspection, and pack-back. ItemStage focuses on this operational layer: serialized intake, configurable stages, photo evidence at every step, required process checks, dispositions, and clean exports for claims and audits.
ItemStage is the workflow and chain-of-custody layer. It does not replace every feature of insurance estimating platforms. Use it alongside your estimating system to give your processing team a faster, mobile-first way to move units through the floor with full photo proof.
Mobile intake and gated stages cut admin time per item — measurable throughput gains.
Every photo and check linked to item, stage, team member, and timestamp.
Required checks can't be skipped. Quality stays consistent across teams and shifts.
One-click PDF + image archive for adjusters and auditors.
What restoration teams typically notice in the first week of a pilot.
| Capability | Legacy contents tools | ItemStage |
|---|---|---|
| Mobile-first intake | Desktop-first, slow on phones | Mobile-first; built for the floor |
| Photo evidence | Scattered in camera rolls | Linked to item + stage + team |
| Required process checks | Optional or missed | Gated — can't be skipped |
| Audit-ready export | Manual assembly | One-click PDF + image archive |
| Throughput visibility | Limited / per-job only | Real-time across facilities |
Every contents job is the same promise: everything that left the house comes back, provably.
Barcode every item at the loss site. Room context, condition photos, pre-existing damage — captured before it leaves the driveway. Works offline.
Cleaning, chamber time, ultrasonic, ozone — your stages, your order. Required photos and checklist answers gate every transition.
Green Tag (restorable), Red Tag (non-restorable), Red-M (restorable w/ notes). Storage location tracked by warehouse section, bay, or trailer.
Same item record on return. The chain of custody closes with delivery — pack-out to pack-back in one export.
When a storm turns your item volume vertical, the intake process is what breaks first. ItemStage intake is scan-driven and takes under 30 seconds per item, so surge labor scales linearly — and because pricing is per facility with unlimited users, the extra crews you pull in during CAT season cost nothing extra in software. Spreadsheet chaos is a choice; barcode discipline survives the surge.
Adjusters and TPAs want a photo-complete inventory with dispositions and dates — not a week of re-assembly. ItemStage's one-click export delivers a chain-of-custody PDF plus time-stamped image archive per item or per job, and the same record defends "mysterious disappearance" claims months later.

A one-click chain-of-custody export: a PDF export for insurance or audit review plus a complete time-stamped image archive per item or per job, with dispositions (Green Tag / Red Tag / Red-M), checklist answers, and handler attribution.
No — it runs the floor. Many operations pair ItemStage with Xactimate/XactContents or another claims platform: the claims tool prices the loss, ItemStage proves what happened to every item.
