Housing more than 50,000 videos in a 8,000 square foot store, Casa Video’s long time patrons wanted a way to browse and receive movies without coming to the store. After experimenting with some out of the box applications, Casa Video decided to start from scratch with Intrigo.

This project challenged Intrigo with every completed deliverable. After developing a database for their 50,000 videos; integration with Amazon allowed Casa Video to quickly add video artwork, descriptions, and reviews. But the difficulties did not end. Casa Video’s in-house, proprietary, checkout system needed to communicate with the online application. Without this, online users would not accurately know if videos were in stock. Intrigo wrote locally installable scripts to synchronize both databases. Nearing completion, Intrigo developed a series of automated tools aiding with envelop printing, audits, ecommerce, and financial management. This was a rewarding project for Intrigo. Now Casa Video, a long time Tucson business, can remain competitive with the many online movie renters like Netflix and Blockbuster.
