One-Up the Competition with the Power of Integrated Supply Chain Solutions 

As a sporting goods and outdoor gear wholesaler, your business lies at the heart of a complex, often international supply chain.  On the one hand, you need to manage procurement from hundreds of suppliers, selling products that vary from sports equipment, to camping gear, to athletic clothing, and more. On the other, you need to meet the ever-changing needs of a wide range of customers, including retailers, schools, clubs and teams, to name just a few. To keep up, your business needs to have a constant finger on the pulse of the market and understand how products move through your supply chain from end to end. 

Legacy systems can obscure your view of your supply chain because they lack integration and require time-consuming manual data entry to move order information. Without access to real-time visibility, your sporting goods business is vulnerable to supply chain disruptions and market changes that can impact your brand reputation, and your bottom line. 

TrueCommerce’s unified commerce solutions solve this problem by connecting your supply chain from start to finish. The integrated Foundry Platform automates data delivery from all your channels directly into your ERP/accounting system for faster order processing and a shorter order-to-cash cycle. Configurable processes make it easy to meet your unique business needs, while applications for EDI, eCommerce, and shipping help grow your business in every direction. Plus, with fully managed supplier enablement, and vendor managed inventory tools, you’ll be able to keep both your supply and retail partnerships strong.
