These operational departments include merchandising, authentication, fulfillment, logistics, transportation, fraud, security and client relations.

We are leveraging the latest technologies in Machine Learning and AI to improve the efficiency of our operation teams, sometimes by as much as 2x. We have successfully deployed AI solutions for image recognition, price prediction, attribute extraction and automated photo retouching. We continue to push the envelope with ML using models to assist our authentication process, and pricing optimization.

This person will be comfortable embracing new technologies, including machine learning and AI to more efficiently process and retouch our consignment item photography.
