The Challenge: Amassing Disparate Information to Provide Accurate Pricing A Website for collectors to show off their collections, comment on
other collections, and get independent, reliable price quotes sought a
partner to design and implement a back-end system to support the site.
The task was daunting. Pricing data for each collectable had to be obtained
from numerous online and offline sources and then had to be sourced and
tracked on a regular basis in order to provide accurate, up-to-date pricing
information. Another facet to the challenge was the large number of individual
collectibles - over 200,000 in 4 categories - each generating multiple
price points.
The Exeter Solution The Website teamed up the Exeter Group to get the job done. Exeter
Group began by identifying and articulating the requirements of the project
in a clear data model. Next, a methodology was implemented that created
process maps, developed and delivered the module, and tested and trained
personnel upon implementation of each new solution. The result is fully
functional collectors community that not only offers collectors the ability
to exhibit their collection and interact with other visitors but also
delivers robust price information for dealers and collectors.
