FOCUS
Authentication & Unique Inventory
The challenge
Trust begins with system architecture
In luxury resale, each watch or piece of jewelry is unique. There’s no standard “product” – there’s authentication status, condition grading, and provenance. Customers spending significant amounts demand verification.
Luxury Bazaar sourced inventory globally from dozens of suppliers. Inventory moved across multiple fulfillment channels. Behind the scenes, managing unique items became a logistics nightmare.
Inventory tracking broke across channels. Payment reconciliation required manual work. Tax compliance across jurisdictions created errors that damaged customer trust.
What we built
Authentication and multi-channel control
Multi-vendor inventory sync
Unified inventory across direct sales, marketplace sellers, and third-party channels. When an item sells in one channel, stock updates instantly everywhere else. Overselling eliminated.
Luxury item data architecture
Robust data systems for high-resolution imaging, condition assessments, authentication status, and provenance. Customers see transparent, trustworthy product information.
Payment & tax automation
QuickBooks integration synchronizes transactions automatically. TaxJar handles multi-state and international tax calculations. No more compliance errors.
Marketplace expansion (Mirakl)
Integration enables expansion beyond direct-to-consumer. Inventory publishes to third-party marketplaces. Orders from multiple channels flow through a single dashboard.
Customer support at scale (Zendesk)
Transaction history and customer data pull directly into support workflows. Support teams resolve issues faster with complete context as volume scales.
International logistics (FedEx Crossborder)
Automated customs documentation and duty calculations for high-value international luxury sales. Reduced manual work on every international order.
The bottom line
High-value inventory demands a trustworthy architecture.
Multi-channel expansion became operationally feasible. Inventory accuracy eliminated customer frustration. The company scaled from hundreds to thousands of monthly transactions without degradation.
