Secondhand Starter Pack

Foil and Street Signs

Street sign cost 2,840 NOK incl. VAT

Foil including installation cost approx. 6,000 NOK incl. VAT

Both purchased from Oslo Digitaltrykk

Clothes Racks

Cirkulær uses IKEA Mulig:

They are the simplest, nicest and cheapest on the market. In both stores they have been used for over two years now, without problems. The only thing to remember is to tighten the screws occasionally.

Floor Mats

Trust me, you will want floor mats in your store during winter:

Music

Sonos as sound system (cheap and good)

Remember that you must pay Gramo to play music in the store:

Hang Tags

Cirkulær uses Rectangle, 5 x 7.5 cm on matte paper.

Use discount code PROMO when ordering

Label Writer

Cirkulær uses Dymo label writer 550. It works perfectly but has two disadvantages:

• Connects to computer via USB
• You can only use official Dymo labels in the printer

Inventory Management System

Circular Resale is the operating system for secondhand businesses. It streamlines your entire inventory management process:

• Digital inventory tracking and pricing
• Automated consignment calculations
• Integrated POS and online store
• Customer management and payouts
• Analytics and reporting
• Multi-location support

Cirkulær uses Circular Resale for all their operations, and it's designed specifically for secondhand and consignment stores. The system handles everything from item intake to sale tracking to consignor payouts.

Why Circular Resale? Unlike generic retail software, it's built specifically for the circular economy and secondhand business model. It understands consignment, commission splits, and the unique workflows of thrift stores.

PC/Mac

Cirkulær has a MacBook Air and an iPad per store.

The MacBook is used to enter items into the system and print labels

iPad is used as cash register

Cash Register and POS System
