Guessing which books will sell
is costing you money.
Sales rank looks like a signal. It isn't. A book can shoot up the rankings from a single bulk purchase and be back to dead stock by the time it hits your shelf.
Most booksellers are buying on gut feel, wasting time on duds, and leaving real profit behind. ScoutIQ fixes that with data that actually reflects demand, not just a snapshot of rank.
Scan the barcode. Know the answer. Move on.
Core features
Everything you need to source smarter,
right in your pocket.
eScore™ is ScoutIQ's proprietary demand metric. It counts how many days a book actually sold over the past 180 days, so you can tell the difference between a consistent seller and a one-off spike. No more rank guesswork.
Green means go. Red means pass. Every scan runs your criteria through Smart Triggers and surfaces a clear decision on the spot. With fees, costs, and condition all factored in. No mental math at the shelf.
Keep moving. Speed Mode keeps the camera running continuously and shows accept/reject results right on the scanning screen. No tapping between screens, no losing your place in the aisle.
The database lives on your device, so a dead wifi signal doesn't stop your sourcing run. Basements, library sales, rural thrift stores. Scan anywhere, get results under a second.
Every scan surfaces the full picture: price history, real-time competition, offer count, and demand indicators. You'll know whether a book is oversaturated or sitting in a sweet spot before you commit.
Running a sourcing team? Scouts see accept/reject decisions across multiple locations while your margin data stays private. Sync results in real time, track individual performance, and keep everyone working to the same criteria.
Real sellers.
Real results.
"ScoutIQ is amazing. It tells you how often something sells as opposed to just rank. It's the best app to me by far."
"Bought three books from local Goodwill for $1 a piece, and ScoutIQ said they were keepers. They literally sold within days after hitting the warehouse. $50, $16, $8, $70 profit. ScoutIQ helped me find the gold."
"ScoutIQ's been amazing for me... when you're scanning, you're kind of like in a dark room, but ScoutIQ gives you a flashlight."
"I was using [the other guys], almost every book I brought home was a dud. Then, my son found ScoutIQ. What a difference! I know when I see the green ACCEPT light up, I can confidently buy it and make money. It's so much fun."
