iCat — Modern Contents Management

Since 2009

The Original Innovators of Modern Contents

Before AI had a name, iCat was already doing the work.

In 2009, iCat pioneered photo-based contents inventory with automated item descriptions and replacement-cost valuation — eliminating manual data entry and helping restoration teams put their labor where it made more money.

We went on to bring contents inventory to smartphones and contents management to the cloud — continuing to build technology around the same opportunity we saw from the beginning.

Origin and evolution

It wasn't a feature.It was a vision.

From the beginning, iCat was built around a simple idea: use technology to reduce the manual work in contents restoration and give contractors better tools to run and grow their operation.

  1. The first to take contents inventory mobile.

  2. The first to automate item descriptions and replacement-cost valuations from photos.

  3. The first to bring contents inventory to smartphones.

  4. The first to bring contents management to the cloud.

Today, AI is accelerating what iCat has been building since 2009 — reducing manual work, improving efficiency, and helping contents teams do more with the team they have while putting labor where it creates the most value.

Operating principles

Operating Belief

  • Do contents work right.

    Give your team the tools to document, manage and complete contents work accurately and consistently.

  • Put labor where it makes you money.

    Reduce unpaid work and time spent on lower-earning tasks so your team can focus on higher-value production.

  • Keep operational control.

    Know what's happening across your jobs, production and storage so you can identify what needs attention and stay ahead of the work.
