Where ConsignEngine fits today
Focused now. Advancing quickly.
Established products are ahead in areas such as integrated card processing, e-commerce, consignor portals, vendor malls, and larger support organizations. ConsignEngine is not pretending otherwise.
Our advantage is a practical core system at a competitive price, built from inside a working consignment store, with shared core improvements included and a short path between customer feedback and the people building the product.
