Since several SSL members are already Celerant clients, partnering with Sports Specialists Ltd. seemed natural. At the request of our long-term, valuable ski/snowboard retail clients, we continue to add new features and niche integrations to our software. We are eager to have the opportunity to bring our technology and new enhancements to the entire SSL group through their virtual show; and at their physical shows, which we are all looking forward to attending again soon.”
