Case Study: Stevie Sister achieves double-digit sales growth and 50% lower IT costs with Springboard Retail

Stevie Sister's evolution shows how retailers with a creative mindset can thrive

Stevie Sister (originally Modern Romance) is a Newport Beach multi-channel women's fashion boutique founded in 1994 by Theresa Johnson, known for vintage-inspired, feminine apparel. After 20 years on Retail Pro the team faced frequent, time-consuming upgrades and lacked real-time inventory and reporting, prompting a months-long evaluation of about a dozen POS systems that most lacked the apparel-focused functionality and flexibility they needed.

They selected Springboard Retail, gaining real-time business insights that improved buying decisions and drove double-digit sales growth. The switch cut POS/merchandising costs by over 50% when upgrades and support are amortized, saved 10–20 hours per week through easier, remote access, and the data migration proved simpler than expected — making the move a clear win for the brand.
