As a luxury consignment company, almost everything we sell is unique and in different conditions. Every day we receive tens of thousands of items in our warehouses; This currently presents a unique set of challenges as every item we process must be treated individually. 

Some of the optimization challenges associated with having unique items with unique conditions are that every item must be photographed, every item must have it's unique description and must be carefully priced based on condition. Along with these exciting challenges, we also have multiple warehouses, where we are figuring out how to optimize storage across multiple locations and optimize shipping when shipping from multiple warehouses.
