Recovery, savings, and timing figures are estimates based on pilot/customer data and workflow assumptions. Actual results vary based on vendor policies, parts volume, process discipline, staffing, and return timing. CoreBack Ledger does not guarantee any specific credit recovery outcome.

Who this is built for first

The fastest-fit shops are already feeling the leak.

Best fit now

Owner-operators and ops leads at 1–5 locations

Independent general-repair shops that already feel credit leakage, messy RMAs, or inconsistent return-shelf behavior across stores.

Operational trigger

A second location, a new manager, or a bad month-end surprise

CoreBack lands fastest when returns already live across vendor portals, inboxes, paper invoices, sticky notes, and people's heads.

Works with

Tekmetric, Shop-Ware, Mitchell 1, or CSV-first workflows

No rip-and-replace motion. Start with browser OCR, QR labels, and shelf accountability before deeper systems work ever matters.

Concierge offer

Send 3 recent invoices. We'll show where return dollars are leaking.

This is the fastest path for owner-operators and multi-location ops leaders who do not need another generic demo. Bring a few recent invoices and we'll map where your process breaks between intake, bagging, shipment, and credit closeout.

Teardowns are directional reviews based on the invoices and process details you share. They are designed to qualify fit, not to promise a specific recovery result.

What we measure before we ask for rollout

1

Items due this week vs. items actually shipped

2

Days from shelf placement to credit close

3

Overdue returns by vendor and by location

4

Recovered dollars found during the first cleanup sweep

No polished case-study theater here yet — just the exact operational proof points we track with pilot shops until harder customer evidence is ready.

The workflow

Four steps. Zero leakage.

01

Drop Invoice

Forward a PDF or photo. Browser OCR extracts every core line, vendor, part number, and due date — no manual entry.

02

Print QR Label

One click prints a color-coded bag label. Tech scans to confirm bag placement on the return shelf.

03

Ship When Due

Shelf view shows what's due this week. Scan at the kiosk to log shipment and capture tracking.

04

Close the Credit

Two-minute flow matches the credit memo to the item. Recovery rate and dollar value update instantly.

Shelf command center

See every core. Every vendor. One view.

Built for how shops actually work

In-Browser OCR

Invoices never leave your browser. Tesseract.js extracts core lines locally — privacy-first by architecture.

Kiosk Mode

Tablet at the shelf. Scan QR code → confirm return → print shipping label. Zero training required.

Vendor-Agnostic

NAPA, AutoZone, O'Reilly, Carquest, RockAuto, and 9 more. One shelf. All vendors.

Recovery Analytics

See recovery rate, average credit value, and vendor performance. Know who to hold accountable.

Due-Date Nudges

SMS and email reminders 7 days before deadline. Never lose a core to an expired return window.

CSV Sync

Export to Tekmetric, Shop-Ware, or Mitchell format. No API key. No integration drama.

Illustrative scenarios

How teams describe the workflow once it clicks

These quotes and recovery examples are illustrative composite scenarios informed by pilot conversations and workflow reviews. They are not promises of future results.

ILLUSTRATIVE
SCENARIOExample: overdue shelf cleanup in the first month

The system gave our parts lead one place to see what was due this week instead of relying on memory and sticky notes.

PS

Composite owner scenario · Single location
ILLUSTRATIVE
SCENARIOExample: faster bag-and-ship consistency

The QR labels made the physical shelf behavior obvious. Once techs could scan and confirm bag placement, the process stuck.

RG

Composite service manager scenario · 3 locations
ILLUSTRATIVE
SCENARIOExample: less manual entry for returns

Forwarding invoices into the workflow reduced manual logging and made it easier to catch due dates before they slipped.

Frequently asked questions

01

Does CoreBack store my invoice data on your servers?

No. All OCR processing runs entirely in your browser using Tesseract.js. Invoice text never leaves your machine — privacy-first by architecture, not policy.

02

What DMS systems does the CSV sync support?

Tekmetric, Shop-Ware, Mitchell 1, and generic CSV. Export in 2 clicks — no API keys, OAuth, or integration drama required. Templates match the column format each DMS expects for import.

03

How does the QR bag label system work?

Each core gets a unique QR code label printed from your browser. Techs scan it at the shelf to confirm bag placement. The kiosk mode shows a full-screen scan interface optimized for tablets mounted at the return shelf.

04

What happens when a return window expires?

CoreBack highlights expired items in red and flags them in the shelf view. You can void the item or attempt a late return — some vendors accept late cores with a restocking fee. Every voided item stays in your audit log.

05

Can I use CoreBack across multiple shop locations?

Yes. The Multi plan supports up to 5 locations with per-location dashboards, vendor recovery benchmarks, and a consolidated view showing every core across all shops — so you can see which location leaks the most.

06

Is there a free tier?

Yes. The Free tier supports up to 10 active core items, browser OCR, and basic shelf view — no credit card required. Upgrade to Solo when you need more volume, more users, or a tighter closeout workflow.

ROI in 30 seconds

How much is your shop leaking?

Most teams don't have a clean baseline until they model their current workflow. It takes about 30 seconds.
