Case Study: Sportsman and Ski Haus eliminates $1.4M in slow-moving inventory with Celerant Technology

Sports-Outfitter-Crown Enterprises Uses Data Mining To Cut 1.4 Million In Slow Moving Inventory

Crown Enterprises, owner of destination outdoor retailers Sportsman & Ski Haus and Tri-State Outfitters, faced a growing problem of slow-moving, space- and capital-consuming inventory across a wide range of sports and outdoor merchandise. Using their retail management system, they identified that approximately $1.4 million in stock had become stagnant and needed a better way to manage product flow.

By leveraging Celerant Command Retail’s integrated POS, inventory and data-mining tools to run reports on last-sold and received dates, Crown executed a company-wide progressive markdown and improved redistribution processes. Weekly reporting and inventory transfers streamlined operations, eliminated unnecessary SKUs, boosted turns and margins, and freed capital to invest in faster-moving, higher-margin products.
