Running a card store isn’t easy. There’s a never ending to-do list, and the doing one thing always means not doing another. At CardCloud, we’ve worked directly in store with owners, managers, and front line staff to see where time could be saved and where real customer value was being created. We built CardCloud with that mentality: that the interactions with customers create real value and long term success and our job is to minimize and automate any tasks that take away from that.

While working with store owners we identified several common pain points that were taking time away from the customer. Card and image data is preloaded so inventory loading is faster than ever, and we integrate with all major card scanning systems. This lets us enable a deckbuilder for customers so they don’t need an employee to just look up stock from a list. We brought in pricing data and have implemented an auto pricing option (with guardrails) to save time when doing loading and maintaining inventory or accepting trades. Taken together, this dramatically reduces the amount of time workers spend away from the customer or doing data entry. That’s the CardCloud difference, we’re trying to maximize face to face time with your customers which is what helps build the loyalty that a local game store needs to survive.
