Metropolis Collectibles, Inc. www.metropoliscomics.com
Metropolis Collectibles is the world's largest dealer of comic books and related collectibles, with an inventory of hundreds of thousands of unique items from the 1930s to the present. In hiring J2, Metropolis had four major goals:
- Replacing their legacy back-office system with a new system designed to support unlimited concurrent users, a richer data architecture, and new revenue models
- Streamlining the workflow around inventory management, web site content management, and outbound mass-marketing campaigns
- Eliminating their dependency on third parties for conducting e-commerce on their web site
- Enhancing their web site with better search and want-list matching features, automated consignment selling, and auction capabilities
With thousands of customers and over 15 years of legacy data, Metropolis needed a solution that would preserve data integrity, and even fix certain data inconsistencies, during the data migration process. J2's dedication and attention to the details ensured a smooth transition from the old system to the new one with little impact on the company's business or its customers.
