Trading Card Business

J

Hello, 

Looking to create a system to track inventory, sales, expenses, events, and do accounting for a collectible trading card business.  I've created all the basic functionality and now want a

  1. Streamlined inventory management system that tracks multiple purchases and sales of the same items at different prices.
  2. Cards are sold at specific events and want to be able to track and run reports to show what sold where, and basic analytics.
  3. Do basic accounting (which is simple in excel, but challenging in airtable) and reports.
  4. Potentially connect inventory to an external data provider to push and pull lists and look at recent sales for price comps. 
  5. For in person sales, have a form on an ipad for people to enter personal information to join our database. 

I'm sure there will be more past this, but here are the main hurdles.  


Thank you,

John

    Hi John,

    I saw this in my feed and HAVE to respond. I am a big TCG fan and am active on cardmarket. We are a no-code agency that have a lot of experience with building automated processes. We are based in the Netherlands with a team and I would love to build together. 
    The pricing API's are gonna be a challenge as they are not that available as I have found. I would love however to give this a professional look and see if we can make things happen.
    Hope to hear soon,
    Kind regards , Marc

    Hi John, I have built entire ERPs on Airtable, including features like inventory management, billing, sales tools, ... I can give you a 15' demo if you'd be interested! Feel free to plan an intro session here: https://calendly.com/pello-mugicagonzalez

    Hey @John_Anthony, 

    The system you want to build has two important points: 

    • How many users do you want to have access on your system? 
      If they are more than 8 or this number will grow very soon to more than 8, I would recommend the system on Airtable and build the interfaces using a solution like Noloco or Softr. This is more cost-efficient in terms of operational cost per user. 
    • Do you need integration with an accounting service to print invoices and submit invoices using only Airtable? 
      In this case, you also need to build a connection to your accounting service so data from one system will be transferred. 

    We can build your system together in a live session. I am doing live building where you share your requirements, and you can see how I am building your system. My purpose is to deliver the system in days and, at the same time, train you so you will be able to manage your own system. This means that when you need to make an improvement or an update, you will be able to do it yourself. 

    Happy to schedule a 30 mins conversation with no commitment to share more suggestions on your project. Here is the link to my calendar: https://cal.com/dimitrisgoudis/meet-dimitris

    Thanks
