The order desk our own warehouse runs on

We design embedded systems for machines, so we trade industrial automation gear and run our own warehouse. Every part we sell is photographed, listed, shelved, picked, packed and shipped with the software on this page. We built it for ourselves first, and now we build it for businesses like yours.

Book a call Follow one part

Every parcel used to be typed out by hand

Selling the parts was never the hard bit. Getting each one out of the door was. An order arrived on eBay, and someone had to remember which box the part was in, then copy the buyer's address into a carrier website. Addresses came in every format and alphabet, and the carrier forms rejected a street in a script they did not accept.

Parcels leaving the EU needed customs papers: a description and a tariff code for a part no customs officer had heard of, and we learned to keep the word "medical" out of it, because that word stops FedEx shipments. EU business buyers were asked for a VAT number, and the invoice was typed in by hand. Buyers wrote in the meantime, and their messages waited until someone had a free minute. One missing number on one form was enough to leave a parcel at customs for days.

One part, from its label to the courier

A servo drive comes off a pallet in our warehouse. This is everything that happens to it until the buyer has it, and the screen that handles each step.

1
A photo of the label
Someone at the bench takes a few photos with a phone. The camera reads the label: the maker, the model, the part number and the specs printed on it. If the photos show a kit, a controller with its camera head and cables, it says so. Serial numbers stay out of the listing.
Then they hold the mic and say what they see: "six of these, all tested, one has a cracked display cover". The note is written out as they speak, and the quantity, the condition and the box fill in once they confirm. Our team describes every part this way today.
If you want it, we add one more step: the tool finds the maker's data sheet, attaches it to the listing and reads the specs from it.
2
The listing goes live
The title, the description and the eBay category are written by the time anyone opens the review screen. A person checks it, sets the price and presses List. Every part waiting for a listing sits in one grid with its photos and its status.
3
Onto a shelf, with its address
The moment it is listed, the part is in stock at its box. Every box has an address that reads like a sentence: building, room, pallet, box.
F2-R2-P13-B47
Move the box and everything in it moves with it. Try it in the warehouse below.
4
Sold
The eBay order arrives by itself, and the address is checked before anyone touches it. The order moves through its steps on one screen, from new to delivered, and nobody has to copy it anywhere.
5
Picked
The packer's phone says which pallet and which box to go to. When one order needs parts from several boxes, it lists them all. If a box is not where it should be, the packer flags it on the spot.
6
Packed
The packing queue shows what is ready to box, and the label and the proforma invoice print in one click.
7
Shipped, anywhere
FedEx is booked with its rate, the pickup and the customs papers filed electronically. GLS, DPD and UPS go through the same screen. The tracking number goes back to eBay. A VAT number from a buyer's note is checked against the EU register before the invoice uses it, invoices go out in one batch, and a daily report lists anything that shipped without one. At the start of each month the accountant gets one pack.

Watch the flows

Each one is under twenty seconds and shows the new Invent and ICE screens our own team uses.

Every part with its photo. Tap a category and see those parts with their stock and boxes.

Search the whole stock. Type a word and every match shows up with its photo and box.

Everything on one pallet. Type a pallet code: its boxes, the parts on it and the orders picking from it.

One part, all of it. Photos, stock, the live eBay listing, the box it sits in and every move.

Set up the racks. Add a collar, set a lid color, drag a pallet and see if it fits.

Packing supplies reordered. Low stock is flagged and the order email is drafted for you to approve.

Invoices with the right VAT. The VAT number checked, the VAT rule picked, the invoice as it prints.

Close the month. Six steps, then one download for the accountant.

Photos in, listings out. Labels read, a failed read tried again, priced parts listed in one go.

Shoot it and say it. Photos on a phone, then a spoken note fills quantity, condition and box.

Play the warehouse

Search for a part by name or by its code, open a pallet down to the box, move pallets between racks, and see how far the pickers walk in a day.

The same view helps you set up a warehouse: racks and beams, pallets with their collars, and the codes on every position. Turn on the pick walks to see where the day goes, then move the fast movers next to packing and watch the walking drop.

It opens when you press start. Drag the floor to look around, and zoom with the plus and minus buttons or a pinch. On a phone it opens full screen.

Walk the parts floor

Follow one part from a machine on a pallet to a parcel in a courier's van: listed, shelved, ordered through eBay in the office, picked, packed and handed over. Each station has a screen or a phone, and each one shows what the listing tool or the order desk tells the person working there.

1. Teardown. A machine comes in from a factory sell-off. We take it apart, and every part that can sell goes into a numbered box. Scan any box with a phone and Invent shows what is in it and where it stands.

2. Logging. Each part is logged into its box from a phone: choose the box type and scan the box's sticker. Invent records the box and the pallet, so the part can be found years later without opening every box on the shelf.

3. Cleaning. The part is cleaned before its photos. Buyers see the part and a nameplate they can read, not years of factory dust.

4. Photos. Photos are taken on a phone, with the pallet and box already on screen. Hold the button and say the condition: the note is written out and fills in the quantity and condition, and the photos upload while the next part goes in.

5. Nameplate. ICE reads the nameplate and fills in the maker, the part number, the title and the eBay category. A person checks the draft, types the price and presses List. The listing goes live on eBay, and Invent shows its stock and its box.

6. On the shelf. The part waits in its box on the rack. Invent knows the rack, the pallet and the box, and the eBay quantity follows what is in the box.

7. The order. Someone buys it on eBay. In the office the order opens in Invent with the buyer, the part and the box it is in, and it joins the packer's queue on the phone.

8. Picking. The picker's phone shows the pallet, the box and the way to the rack. A scan of the box's sticker confirms it is the right one before the part comes out.

9. Packing. The packer takes the part out of its box and packs it. On the phone they choose a saved box size, check the weight and tap Packed.

10. The courier. Carrier prices come back side by side. The customs text is already drafted, a person checks it and books, and the label prints. The courier collects the parcel.

A normal morning now

The orders that came in overnight are already waiting in the packer's queue, with the address checked and, for the export ones, the customs text drafted. The packer walks the shelves with the phone, boxes each order and moves on. The shipper compares rates and books, and the labels print with the pickup already arranged.

The owner's part of the morning is mostly reading. He goes through the reply drafts and sends the ones he agrees with, decides the warranty cases and issues the invoices for what has shipped. Some things stay manual on purpose: prices are his, and a refund is something he does himself.

Best Offers are accepted, countered or declined from the same screen, stock is searchable by part or by box with every move logged, and everything works on a phone, installed like an app, at the bench and on the warehouse floor.

An order in the new Invent: a buyer's message sorted as a shipping question with the deadline picked out, the checkout note applied, the part and the box to pick from, and the checked ship-to address (example data; the item photos are real photos of our stock)

Built on the packing floor

We use it every day at our own packing bench, which kept the loop short: a problem we hit in the morning was often fixed by the afternoon. It started in January 2026 as a small stock app. In May it was connected to eBay and booked its first live label; a direct FedEx connection followed, because that route allows electronic customs papers and courier pickups. The bank and accounting side came in July.

We split the floor work into screens by role: the packer sees what to pick and pack, the shipper what to label and hand over, and invoices, messages and money stay on the office screen. Two rules came out of real use. Every outgoing message waits for a person to approve the exact draft. And AI drafts the address repairs, the customs text and the replies, but anything that costs money or speaks to a buyer in a new way waits for a human.

Packages

Start with the part that hurts most. Each package is a fixed price agreed before we start, and you keep what we built, and your data. Builds start one at a time; you get your start date on the call.

Three founding places for the order desk.

Our promise

If the first milestone is not running on your own orders by the end of week 4 after we have your eBay, carrier and invoicing access, and the delay is ours, its payment comes back. You keep what we built, and your data.

If the delay is on your side (access not given in week 1, or two demos missed in a row), the date moves by the same number of days. After 3 weeks of delay on your side the founding price and the guarantee lapse, and the place goes to the next seller.

Who this is for

You sell on eBay, with at least 150 orders a month.
You pay at least one person besides the owner to pack.
You already ship with FedEx, UPS, GLS or DPD.
You invoice through számlázz.hu. Other invoicing tools are quoted on the call.
One person can give 1 to 2 hours a week and a 30-minute weekly demo.
You agree to a case study with your name at day 60, with your OK on every word.

Under 150 orders a month with nobody on packing. We say so on the call and point you to off-the-shelf tools at around $120 a month.

Weigh the price against your own number first: the calculator above puts a cost on the hours your team spends on these jobs today. Custom inventory systems are reported at $35,000 to $70,000 elsewhere. Mid-range inventory software costs $349 to $1,199 a month for as long as you use it, and still leaves carriers, customs and invoices to you.

3 founding places until 31 Dec 2026. Builds start one at a time; you get your start date on the call.

Questions

Can I start with only the listing tool?

Yes. Lister stands on its own: your phone reads the label, the listing is written, and the part goes into your stock at its box. Many sellers start there and add the order desk later.

Does it work with Amazon or my own shop?

Our own desk runs on eBay, because that is where we sell. Your own shop or another marketplace is added as a channel; we price it on the call once we see how you sell there.

Who owns the software?

You do. The code and the data are yours, and there is no fee per order or per user. If you leave, you take everything with you.

Do we have to stop shipping while you build it?

No. We set it up beside the way you work today and switch over one step at a time, so parcels keep going out.

What does the founding place mean?

Three eBay sellers who sign by 31 December 2026 get Order Desk Core's scope for a fixed $22,500 (€20,500), paid in three milestones, with the Ops Leak Map, shelf and box labels, a carrier rate check, 90 days of fixes and Ops Care at $450 (€410) a month for 24 months. In return we write up how it went, from your side, as a case study with your name at day 60, with your OK on every word.

Where does it run?

On our servers, with monitoring and backups, under Ops Care. If you would rather run it on your own server, we set it up there and hand it over.
