Case Study: Kix On achieves smarter inventory management and increased sales with Lightspeed Retail

Kix On - Customer Case Study

Kix On is a Melbourne shoe retailer founded in 2017 that buys last-season, bulk footwear from brands like Nike and Adidas to sell affordably. Their challenge was managing the high risk of bulk inventory across two stores while keeping prices low and running operations efficiently—especially since co‑owner Tanya runs the business part‑time while working in IT recruitment.

By adopting Lightspeed Retail—quick to implement and easy to use—Kix On now uses historical sales data to buy smarter, transfer stock between stores, order missing sizes, and run detailed reports from anywhere. The result: reduced unsellable inventory, faster transactions, retained sales, a steady stream of loyal repeat customers, and the ability to compete on price (maximum shoe cost $100) while scaling the business.
