What Our Clients Say: 

“We’ve been in the comic book and trading card business for decades, long before most resale technology existed. As our business grew, we built our own custom system because there simply wasn’t software available that could handle the complexity of our operation. Eventually, that system became part of the problem. It required constant maintenance and development just to keep up with our growth, particularly as we expanded to thousands of consignors around the world and began processing an enormous volume of consignor payouts every month. 

We chose Aravenda because it wasn’t an off-the-shelf solution that required us to change our business to fit the software. Their team was willing and able to customize the platform around the workflows and requirements we had developed over many years. That was critical to us. We had a mature, successful operation; we weren’t looking to reinvent it. We needed modern technology that could support it and help us scale. 

Today, Aravenda gives us a much more streamlined way to manage an enormous and constantly changing inventory of comic books, trading cards, collectibles, and one-of-a-kind items. Just as importantly, it helps us manage thousands of consignor relationships and the high volume of payouts that come with operating a global consignment business. 

Moving away from a proprietary system we had relied on for years was a major decision, but the Aravenda team worked closely with us throughout the transition, customization, implementation, and ongoing development. Instead of continually investing our resources into maintaining aging software, we can focus those resources on acquiring collections, serving our consignors, reaching more collectors, and growing the business. 

For an established reseller with complex requirements, Aravenda gives us something that’s difficult to find: the flexibility of a custom solution with the infrastructure, support, and continued innovation of a modern consignment technology platform.”
