What it covers

## The certification-ready workflow

### Serialized intake

Every unit gets a unique record — by serial, model, and intake photos — from minute one.

### Gated inspection checks

Required questions per stage. Units can't advance past inspection without complete answers.

### Photo evidence

Stage-tagged photos for cosmetic, functional, and component condition.

### Certification disposition

Mark certification status and capture reason. Drives the proof package.

### Exportable proof package

Per-unit CSV + image bundle — for resale, warranty, or audit.

### Re-intake & rework

Returned units re-enter the workflow with full prior history attached.

FAQ

## Refurbishment & certification — common questions

What is refurbishment workflow software?

Software that registers each unit by serial number, moves it through staged refurbishment work (intake, diagnostics, repair, QC, certification), captures photo evidence and required checks at every stage, and exports a per-unit proof package suitable for resale, certification, or warranty.

What does certification workflow software need to do?

It must enforce that a unit only reaches a 'certified' disposition after every required inspection check is answered and the required photo evidence is on file — and then produce a verifiable, exportable certification record per unit.

Does ItemStage integrate with diagnostics or grading tools?

ItemStage is the workflow and chain-of-custody layer. It does not perform automated diagnostics or AI cosmetic grading itself — it captures the operator's inputs, photos, and answers as the auditable record of work performed.
