Where Time Disappears

📹

Post-Show Video Review

After every show, you're rewatching hours of footage to reconstruct what sold — instead of resting or preparing for the next event.

3-4 hours lost per show

Manual Everything

Every card lookup, price check, and data entry is done by hand. Copy-paste workflows between sheets. No automation anywhere.

100% manual data entry
🔗

Disconnected Data

Inventory, sales, and trades live in separate sheets. No way to track card lineage. Cash on top gets lost in the gaps.

Show Floor Chaos

When three customers hit your booth at once, logging goes out the window. Speed matters, but accuracy suffers.

"If we can get to that point — one-touch at shows — I'll be able to stop it... stop reviewing three hours of footage after every show."
