Case Study: Sundown Ski Patrol achieves seamless annual ski swap operations with SimpleConsign

Sundown Ski Patrol runs a 75% sell-through annual swap with SimpleConsign

Sundown Ski Patrol, a nonprofit running a large annual ski swap consignment event, faced significant operational challenges using the legacy system ConsignPro. Their unique pop-up model required rebuilding their entire technical infrastructure from scratch each year, leading to driver conflicts, lengthy Windows reconfigurations, and unreliable credit card hardware. With their one-weekend fundraiser critical to funding their entire season, they needed a more reliable, cloud-based solution and chose to migrate to SimpleConsign.

SimpleConsign provided a cloud-based system that eliminated the annual setup headaches. The migration was seamless, and the new platform supported 14 devices concurrently during the intense event, processing approximately 3,000 sales with zero system outages. The solution dramatically reduced setup time, streamlined the payout process, and provided reliable tap-capable credit card readers. This resulted in a successful event where 75% of the 4,000 items were sold, ensuring the patrol's funding for the year.
