Hammoq provides artificial intelligence solutions for large scale processing and re-commerce of secondhand goods.

Problem

The fashion industry is the second largest polluter in the world. With 16% of all global greenhouse gas emissions, it produces more pollution than international flights and shipping combined. The United States alone throws away an estimated 26 billion pounds of clothing each year.

Facilitating rapid expansion and growth within the resale industry can play an essential role in driving global change, by keeping usable secondhand garments from hitting US landfills, as well as traveling overseas to places like Ghana and Chile, where secondhand clothing from the United States plays a destabilizing role in local economies and has devastating environmental consequences.

In addition, the resale e-commerce industry is facing significant operational challenges in processing and listing large volumes of donated and secondhand goods.

Solution

HAMMOQ, a leading provider of end-to-end solutions for large-scale processing and re-commerce of donated and secondhand goods, has developed a suite of technologies to tackle the industry's biggest operational challenges. Their solutions incorporate machine learning, automation, and advanced imaging technology to streamline and optimize the entire process.

HAMMOQ's Sorting Solution leverages decades of resale experience, historical sales and pricing data, and machine learning algorithms to accurately identify garments and predict their resale value. This eliminates the time-consuming and error-prone manual sorting process, allowing for faster and more accurate categorization of items.

The patented HAMMOQ Conveyor is a high-speed photography solution that captures consistent, top-quality product photos with multiple views in seconds. This replaces the need for manual photography and ensures that every item is presented professionally and attractively in online listings.

To automate the listing process for online resellers across various marketplaces, HAMMOQ has also developed the Listing Solution, an AI-powered SaaS platform. This solution converts the product photographs into comprehensive listings, saving resellers significant time and effort. The automation and standardization provided by the Listing Solution result in increased productivity and improved listing quality.

Outcome

By implementing HAMMOQ's technology-enabled automated workflows, resale operations can achieve unprecedented speeds and scalability. The innovative solutions provided by HAMMOQ address the industry's biggest pain points and transform the way businesses in the resale e-commerce industry operate.

The impact of HAMMOQ's solutions goes beyond optimization and innovation. They contribute to the vision of a future where used goods sustainability is prioritized, landfills are reserved for trash, and resale operations can list more items and sell more effectively
