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. We designed and built the platform end to end, from computer vision recognition to valuation pipelines and marketplace operations.
01
Collectors had outgrown spreadsheets and camera rolls. Tracking items across categories such as trading cards, sneakers, coins, and LEGO, then knowing what any of it was worth, required manual research that quickly went stale. The product needed recognition that worked in a customer’s hand, pricing that kept pace with a fast-moving market, and commerce workflows reliable enough for buyers, sellers, and hobby shops.
02
We built mobile applications for iOS and Android backed by a scalable cloud platform. Camera-based recognition identifies items and fills in catalog details, while data pipelines aggregate market pricing into current valuations with history and condition tracking. The same platform supports listings, messaging, payments, payouts, consignment workflows, social profiles, and insurer-ready PDF reports.
03
InstaMapp shipped as a production platform spanning AI scanning, live valuations, set completion tracking, social profiles, and an integrated marketplace. It replaces a collection of spreadsheets, research sites, photo folders, and selling tools with one system for cataloging, valuing, documenting, and trading a collection.
We can assess the current system, define the useful first release, and stay accountable through launch.
