Case Study: Grady’s Great Outdoors achieves Just-in-Time Inventory Fulfillment with Celerant Technology

Grady’s Great Outdoors Achieve Just in Time Inventory Fulfillment with Stratus Retail’s Vendor Integrations

Grady’s Great Outdoors, a 55‑year outdoor outfitter in upstate South Carolina, sells a wide mix of soft goods, hard goods and firearms but struggled with inventory visibility. Managers relied on bi‑weekly counts and manual purchase orders, couldn’t track sales velocity or forecast SKU potential, and were constrained by distributor minimums — all of which led to lost sales and time-consuming processes.

By deploying Celerant’s Stratus Retail with vendor catalog integration and real‑time POS/inventory syncing, Grady’s automated reorder creation when stock hit set thresholds, gained benchmark visibility into similar retailers’ sales, and removed minimum‑order barriers. The result: true just‑in‑time fulfillment with rapid shipments, roughly two hours saved per day, consistently stocked shelves, improved sales velocity that turned mediocre items into top sellers, and clearer market intelligence for smarter buying.
