Jay’s Sporting Goods Runs their Hunt/Fish/Camp Business Better with Celerant Technology
Jay’s Sporting Goods, a hunt/fish/camp retailer, was started over 50 years ago by owner Jeff Poet’s dad Jay. Employees at Jay’s Sporting Goods have a strong tradition of passion for the outdoors and for providing excellent customer service. However, as the company grew, Jeff realized that the software they had wasn’t going to cut it. It was very cumbersome, slow, and glitchy. After doing some research, Jeff found Celerant to be the best choice to cover the diverse, wide range of products that the company sells.

Firearms have been the cornerstone of the business since its creation so many years ago.
