I'm Indre, founder of Tingit.com - an AI-based repairs platform for the future of commerce & the planet, unlocking global repairs at scale.
My organisation
Tingit is building Europe's first autonomous repair intelligence layer, fundamentally reengineering textile lifecycle management through AI-driven visual recognition.
The repairs sector urgently requires systemic innovation to transition from fragmented, manual processes to scalable digital infrastructure. Current bottlenecks - manual, time-intensive assessment, inconsistent pricing, and geographic limitations - hinder EU circular economy goals & causing unnecessary waste.
Our repairs engine digitizes repairs industry at large and creates a self-reliant repair ecosystem where:
- AI autonomously matches items to certified partners using material composition, damage severity, and circularity potential
- Any retailer, brand, marketplace or other interested party can plug-in Tingit's repairs network into their system through API calls and utilize our fully automatic shipping, payments & customer care solution to make repairs accessible & affordable to all.
- We unlock cross-country logistics, matching incoming orders to the best service provider to them.
- Our repairs engine can be scaled outside of fashion industry and presents a unique opportunity to target not just clothing, but also furniture, sports goods, home equipment & other applicable industries.
- Tingit’s AI-powered visual recognition system also enhances the EU Right to Repair Directive (2024/1799) by streamlining repair assessments, reducing textile waste, and ensuring regulatory compliance.
