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. [Start a Pilot — From $299/mo](/signup)[Book a Workflow Demo](/contact)[Read the Case Study](/case-study) ## What is restoration item processing software? 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. ## Where ItemStage fits — and where it doesn't 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. Why restoration teams switch ## Built for the floor, not the back office. ### More units per day Mobile intake and gated stages cut admin time per item — measurable throughput gains. ### Defensible chain of custody Every photo and check linked to item, stage, team member, and timestamp. ### No missed process steps Required checks can't be skipped. Quality stays consistent across teams and shifts. ### Claim-ready exports One-click PDF + image archive for adjusters and auditors. Comparison ## ItemStage vs. legacy contents tools. 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 The lifecycle ## Pack-out to pack-back, one record per item. Every contents job is the same promise: everything that left the house comes back, provably. 01 ### Pack-out Barcode every item at the loss site. Room context, condition photos, pre-existing damage — captured before it leaves the driveway. Works offline. 02 ### Processing Cleaning, chamber time, ultrasonic, ozone — your stages, your order. Required photos and checklist answers gate every transition. 03 ### Disposition & storage Green Tag (restorable), Red Tag (non-restorable), Red-M (restorable w/ notes). Storage location tracked by warehouse section, bay, or trailer. 04 ### Pack-back Same item record on return. The chain of custody closes with delivery — pack-out to pack-back in one export. ## Built for CAT season 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. ## The adjuster hand-off 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.

The operational system a restoration contents team uses to track individual items — furniture, electronics, textiles, appliances — through staged work: pack-out, cleaning, chamber time, inspection, storage, and pack-back, with photo evidence and chain of custody at every step. ### How does ItemStage handle a CAT surge? Intake is barcode-driven and takes under 30 seconds per item, so surge crews scale linearly. Pricing is per facility with unlimited users, so pulling in extra hands during storm season costs nothing extra in software. ### What do adjusters receive? 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. ### Does ItemStage replace our estimating platform? 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.
