Case Study: Core77’s Hand‑Eye Supply achieves streamlined inventory control with Lightspeed Retail

Core 77 - Customer Case Study

Core77, a New York and Portland–based design network that publishes content, hosts events and runs community sites like Coroflot, also operates Hand‑Eye Supply, a Portland retail “Workstyle” store stocking a wide, specialized inventory of tools, materials and apparel for creative professionals. The business faced the challenge of managing a large, varied product catalog across retail and online channels while maintaining the curated, community-focused experience that defines the brand.

Hand‑Eye Supply implemented Lightspeed Retail to centralize and control inventory across its store and web operations. The solution streamlined stock tracking and point‑of‑sale workflows, reduced manual inventory effort and improved operational visibility, freeing the team to focus on merchandising, events and the brand’s broader publishing and community activities.
