Press Release
Dealers can import products, auto order and drop ship with HLC through Celerant’s all-in-one bike shop point of sale and eCommerce software
Celerant Technology, a leading provider of innovative retail solutions for the bicycle industry, today announces a new partnership and integration with HLC. HLC is a leading wholesale distributor in the bicycle industry servicing the United States and Canada. The integration connects Celerant’s all-in-one bike shop point of sale and eCommerce software with the world’s best cycling brands- enabling independent bicycle dealers to streamline inventory, manage their bike shop and online business, and fulfill customer orders faster and more efficiently.
HLC offers products from over 200 of the industry’s best brands, such as SRAM, Michelin, Garmin, Pirelli, Tacx, Maxxis, Kuat, and Muc-Off. Celerant’s point of sale has direct access to HLC’s catalog; dealers can import products in bulk to populate their retail database quickly, maintain the latest product data, and eliminate data discrepancies resulting from manual entry. Celerant also includes a multi-level classification structure to help dealers organize products by department and sub-departments such as bicycles, wheels, tires, handlebars, seats, tools, accessories, apparel and more.
Through the integration, dealers can also order inventory from HLC. Purchase orders can be easily created and sent to HLC, electronically, from within Celerant’s back-end software. Orders can be automatically generated and sent to HLC based on min/max inventory levels set within the retail system to help dealers streamline their ordering process.
Through Celerant’s integration with HLC, orders can be fulfilled faster and easier. For approved dealers, online orders placed on Celerant’s eCommerce platform can be routed to HLC’s warehouse and drop shipped directly to the consumer, with an advanced shipping notice (ASN) sent to the dealer. Coming soon, dealers will have the ability to pull and display HLC’s ‘online product feeds’ and images on Celerant’s eCommerce websites and in store kiosks.
