Circular is a cloud-based platform for managing resale and consignment operations in single-SKU retail. It supports intake, pricing, inventory tracking, sales reporting, consignor splits and payout tracking, and store credits across one or multiple locations. The system is built for workflows where every item is unique and tied to a specific consignor or seller.
