A leather craftsman selling handmade goods at a consignment shop faces recurring theft of inventory, with $80 worth stolen in one week, and feels the loss of time, labor, and money without accountability or prevention measures.

Existing consignment shops and online marketplaces like Etsy do not provide theft prevention or inventory security features for individual vendors; the shop owner does not track or prevent theft, and there is no software to monitor or alert vendors of missing items.
