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
Independent general-repair shops that already feel credit leakage, messy RMAs, or inconsistent return-shelf behavior across stores.
CoreBack lands fastest when returns already live across vendor portals, inboxes, paper invoices, sticky notes, and people's heads.
No rip-and-replace motion. Start with browser OCR, QR labels, and shelf accountability before deeper systems work ever matters.
Concierge offer
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
Items due this week vs. items actually shipped
Days from shelf placement to credit close
Overdue returns by vendor and by location
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
Forward a PDF or photo. Browser OCR extracts every core line, vendor, part number, and due date — no manual entry.
One click prints a color-coded bag label. Tech scans to confirm bag placement on the return shelf.
Shelf view shows what's due this week. Scan at the kiosk to log shipment and capture tracking.
Two-minute flow matches the credit memo to the item. Recovery rate and dollar value update instantly.
Shelf command center
Invoices never leave your browser. Tesseract.js extracts core lines locally — privacy-first by architecture.
Tablet at the shelf. Scan QR code → confirm return → print shipping label. Zero training required.
NAPA, AutoZone, O'Reilly, Carquest, RockAuto, and 9 more. One shelf. All vendors.
See recovery rate, average credit value, and vendor performance. Know who to hold accountable.
SMS and email reminders 7 days before deadline. Never lose a core to an expired return window.
Export to Tekmetric, Shop-Ware, or Mitchell format. No API key. No integration drama.
Illustrative scenarios
These quotes and recovery examples are illustrative composite scenarios informed by pilot conversations and workflow reviews. They are not promises of future results.
“The system gave our parts lead one place to see what was due this week instead of relying on memory and sticky notes.”
“The QR labels made the physical shelf behavior obvious. Once techs could scan and confirm bag placement, the process stuck.”
“Forwarding invoices into the workflow reduced manual logging and made it easier to catch due dates before they slipped.”
“A cross-location shelf view let our operations lead see where follow-up was breaking down without asking each shop for updates.”
Got questions?
No. All OCR processing runs entirely in your browser using Tesseract.js. Invoice text never leaves your machine — privacy-first by architecture, not policy.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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
Most teams don't have a clean baseline until they model their current workflow. It takes about 30 seconds.
