A cloud-native retail operations platform is replacing a decades-old AMOS backbone. The new system unifies catalog, pricing, orders, and warehouse workflows with modern APIs and AI that accelerate search, valuation, deduplication, and data hygiene—bringing real-time accuracy to a vast back-issue catalog.
Our objective is to retire brittle legacy processes and stand up a service-oriented platform that keeps inventory, pricing, and fulfillment in sync; reduce manual entry and reconciliation across web, warehouse, and customer service; and unlock analytics that guide buying, grading, and merchandising—delivered through phased releases that safeguard daily operations. As the largest comics retailer in the world, Mile High Comics requires speed, precision, and reliability at scale.
Following an audit of the legacy AMOS system and data stores, the modernization program implements a centralized system of record with event-driven services, AI-assisted search and pricing, and an API layer that powers both website and in-store integrations.
Unraveling decades of AMOS business logic without interrupting sales, normalizing a massive catalog with inconsistent metadata, and sustaining real-time accuracy across warehouse locations, website listings, and service channels.
The modernization consolidates operations into one cloud platform, replacing legacy AMOS processes with real-time inventory, streamlined pick/pack, and API-driven integrations—while reliable data flows reduce manual fixes (−5 hrs/week) and keep web and warehouse in sync. Although not yet part of customer-facing features, AI is accelerating analysis of the 40+-year-old AMOS codebase, shortening reverse-engineering timelines and de-risking the migration to a modern, cloud-native architecture.
