Case study
InstaMapp
Consumer mobile platform · AI powered collection management
InstaMapp turns a phone camera into a cataloging tool for collectors. Point it at an item and the app identifies it, values it against live market data, and files it into an organized collection that is ready for insurance. CloudTect designed and built the platform end to end, from the computer vision recognition to the valuation data pipeline and the marketplace that ties buyers and sellers together.

- The challenge
- Collectors had outgrown spreadsheets and camera rolls. Tracking what you own across categories as varied as trading cards, sneakers, coins, and LEGO, then knowing what any of it is worth on a given day, meant manual research that few people keep up with. The product needed recognition that works in a customer’s hand, pricing that keeps pace with a fast moving market, and a platform trustworthy enough to buy and sell on.
- What we built
- CloudTect built a mobile app for iOS and Android backed by a cloud architecture designed to scale with the catalog. Camera based recognition identifies items and fills in their details automatically, while a data pipeline aggregates market pricing into live valuations with historical charts and condition tracking. On top of that sits a full marketplace with listings, messaging, payments, payouts, and consignment tooling for hobby shops, plus PDF reports for each collection that are ready to hand to an insurer.
- The results
- InstaMapp shipped as a production platform spanning AI scanning, live valuations, set completion tracking, social profiles, and an integrated marketplace, across free, Pro, Family, Shop, and Business tiers. It replaces the spreadsheet with a single system that catalogs, values, documents, and trades a collection in one place.
