Grady’s team members also spent too much time counting inventory and manually writing purchase orders, and they didn’t have any insight into their competitors’ top selling items. Some of the company’s key issues were supporting inventory management, keeping records, maintaining on-hand merchandise without overstocking and balancing their needs with shifting offerings from vendors.
A Much-Needed Automation Solution
A simple solution for all of Grady’s ongoing challenges relieved its team of SKU record keeping and manual purchase order creation by automating processes with Stratus Retail, an advanced retail technology solution provided by Celerant Technology.
This technology offered the company a single platform for point of sale, CRM, inventory and warehouse management, ERP/back office and fulfillment processing. It allowed Grady’s to set inventory thresholds and track current levels and sales and then let the technology take over, automatically detecting statuses and creating new purchase orders to send to fulfillment, which saved personnel hours of work each day.
Easy Integration & Business Intelligence
Stratus Retail’s inventory automation and vendor integration capabilities allowed Grady’s to convert average selling items to big sellers. The platform supports bench-marking by automatically pulling sales data and sending it anonymously to distributors to share with other retailers. This gives the company access to their own competitive insights into well-performing products from similar retailers around the country. A valuable business intelligence tool, Stratus Retail helped Grady’s identify SKUs that turn into big hits among their target consumers.
One Platform, Endless Insights
Working with Celerant and a single platform solution didn’t just improve Grady’s Great Outdoors’ bottom line, but it also made its customers happier because they noticed a change in product availability and saw Grady’s as their one-stop shop for all their outdoor needs.
