The Challenge

Comic Odyssey needed a robust platform that could handle the unique challenges of comic book retail - managing thousands of SKUs, handling pre-orders for upcoming releases, maintaining want lists, and integrating with both online sales and physical store operations. The platform needed to accommodate the complex nature of comic book collecting with detailed product information and reservation capabilities.

Our Solution

We developed a comprehensive e-commerce platform using Ruby on Rails that features advanced catalog management, reservation systems for upcoming releases, want list functionality, and seamless integration between online and physical store operations. The platform includes detailed product categorization, publisher management, inventory tracking, and a sophisticated reservation system that allows customers to secure copies of upcoming releases.
