How to Sort Donations with AI
Turn every sorter into an expert with AI-powered decisions.
The 4-Step Sorting Process
Snap Photo or Enter Description
When donations arrive, staff use their phone or tablet to snap a quick photo or type a brief description like 'Nike jacket size L' or 'vintage camera.' No special equipment needed—any device works.
💡 Tip: Photos work better than text descriptions. Even a quick snapshot gives AI more information to work with.
AI Analyzes in Seconds
pearldive Sorter's AI identifies the brand, evaluates condition, checks real-time eBay market data for comparable sold listings, and calculates profitability after shipping costs.
💡 Tip: AI checks thousands of recent sold listings instantly—something that would take hours manually.
Get Instant Decision
Within seconds, staff receive a clear decision: Send to Ecommerce or Sell in Store. Includes pricing recommendation ($50-200), confidence score (85%), and reasoning.
💡 Tip: If unsure about the decision, ask Ama: 'Why should this go online?' for detailed explanation.
Create Manifest & Route Item
For ecommerce items, pearldive Sorter generates a manifest barcode matching your Upright Lister format. Scan the barcode, item is tracked through your warehouse to the ecommerce team.
💡 Tip: Manifest integration eliminates manual data entry and ensures items don't get lost in transit.
