Cosmetic grading is the silent margin killer in refurb. The variance lives in human judgement, the disputes land on your P&L, and the only "fix" the industry offered was a quarter-million-dollar machine.
"I built this because I used to grade devices myself. Borderline calls. Disputes. Variance. The enterprise platforms quoted me a quarter million dollars. So I built the version that runs on photos."
We don't sell to operators. We are operators. Every roadmap call, every feature, every defect class in the model was decided by someone who's spent a Saturday afternoon arguing with a buyer over whether a screen scratch is a B or a B+. We care about you because you are us.
That's also why the pilot is what it is — 50 devices, $25, no contract. If a quarter-million-dollar machine deserves a year of evals, our software deserves an afternoon and lunch money.
Start your pilot →Drag the sliders to your shop's size. Dispute, labor, and carrying-cost benchmarks come from industry data. GradeOS line below is real Growth-tier pricing — seat + scan, no surprises.
The live frame is what GradeOS does, made visible. Upload a photo from any phone — front, back, screen-on. The model returns a graded passport: condition tier, defect map, serial-tied photo proof, dispute-ready.
The same model runs on every grader's phone. No more "my A is your B." The grade is the grade, with photos to prove it.
No hardware to install. No procurement cycle. Your grader opens the camera, scans the device, and the passport is in your system before they set the phone down.
When a device is connected to the GradeOS lane via USB, the system reads what manual graders never can. IMEI verification, iCloud activation lock, battery health and cycle count, carrier, blacklist status, model, storage, iOS/Android build — pulled automatically, written to the Device Passport, billed at the same $0.55–$0.85 per device.
The point of grading is to stop chargebacks. So we put our money where the model is — if a graded device gets a verified dispute, we credit the cost back to you. No incumbent in this category will sign that promise.
Apkudo, FutureDial, and NSYS sell hardware-tethered grading lines to carriers and large MSOs. They're great. They're also priced and architected to lock mid-tier refurbishers out. GradeOS is the version that runs on a phone.
Two levers, no surprises. A seat for each grader who logs in. A scan fee for each device passport generated. No hidden setup, no annual minimums, no procurement gymnastics.
Pick your path. Sign your LOI. Book your sitdown. We'll be on the call together — operator to operator.
