Physical-to-digital workflow

Watch a physical card move through the entire business.

This is the path a real store follows: capture, recognize, verify, label, operate, sell and learn from the transaction.

Guided job: receive a stack

Capture the card

Feed one card or a stack through the scanner, or switch to phone/camera capture.

Sell once. Synchronize everywhere.

The important part is not ay integration. The important part is what happens when the physical card sells in either channel.

Double-sale protection

One physical card. One source of truth.

Publish from Optic

Select the card, confirm the listing, publish to the store's eBay account and retain the eBay listing/offer identity on the Optic inventory record.

  • Optic inventory remains the physical-card record.
  • Marketplace IDs stay attached to the card.
  • The listing can be managed later from Optic.

Six guided product scenes. The controls sit in two rows of three so the software screen stays large and readable. Use Expand View for a near full-screen inspection.

What this does Turns current store data into the next action instead of another report to interpret.
People + permissions

Give employees the access they need t the keys to everything.

The public simulator below shows the design principle: destructive, marketplace and administrative controls stay behind the right roles.

Role simulator

Owner. Manager. Cashier.

A cashier should be able to sell cards quickly without having access to payroll, store settings, marketplace administration or destructive inventory operations.

CapabilityOwner
Back-office consolidation

Stop stitching the store together with separate daily systems.

For supported workflows, sales, employee records, payroll operations, employer/tax data, reporting, inventory and marketplace activity live inside the same store platform.

Sales + store ledgerConnected

Sales, sale items, receipts, revenue, inventory sold state and transaction history stay together.

Payroll operationsBuilt in

Employee payroll profiles, periods, runs, adjustments, approvals, deposits, liabilities and snapshots live in Optic.

Tax + employer dataUnified

Federal/state payroll settings, employer profiles, liabilities, deposits and year-end snapshots stay attached to the store.

Reporting + intelligenceLive

Operational activity feeds trends, inventory health, pricing opportunity, recent sales and executive recommendations.

What this replaces

For day-to-day supported operations, Optic can become the store's operating and accounting hub.

Inventory, sales, sold-state history, receipts, payroll operations, tax/employer records and reporting use the same store data instead of forcing the owner to maintain separate copies of the business in different daily systems.

Feedback from early store participants

Built with input from card shops.

These participating stores requested anonymity. Their statements are shared with permission; no store identities or images are disclosed.

Running a card shop means keeping up with inventory, pricing, sales, and everything that happens throughout the day. What attracted us to Optic Data was the idea of bringing those responsibilities together in one system. The inventory tools, card recognition, and connected workflows have the potential to make managing a growing collection much easier. We're excited to be part of the early group helping shape software built specifically for stores like ours.

Technology should make running a card business easier, not create more work. That's what we like about the direction Optic Data is taking. From identifying cards and organizing inventory to finding the information you need when a customer walks in, it's designed around how card shops actually operate. Being involved in the early testing also gives us an opportunity to provide feedback and help build something that can benefit the entire hobby.

Every card shop owner knows how much time can go into tracking inventory, updating prices, and keeping everything organized. Optic Data is working toward something the hobby has needed for a long time: one place to manage the business instead of juggling multiple systems. We're especially interested in the possibilities for inventory organization, marketplace connections, and making day-to-day operations more efficient. It's exciting to have a voice in the development of a platform focused on independent card shops.
