Sporting Goods Store Challenges

Before 2008, Jay’s Sporting Goods relied on a heavily outdated POS software that was a burden to use on the best of days. As a hunt, camp, fish retailer, carrying a large assortment of hard and soft goods, Jay’s Sporting Goods struggled to accurately maintain inventory. The old POS system made tracking and reporting on serial numbers a much harder task than it needed to be.

Outdated Technology Prior store POS system was slow and glitchy making it cumbersome to check out customers and run reports, if it worked at all
Product Tracking With firearms being the backbone of their business, old system was difficult to catalog serial numbers within compliance
Vendor Purchases Replenishing inventory was a burden, transferring items between stores was a hassle and vendors had to be contacted manually
Convoluted Shipping Didn’t have integrated shipping or drop shipping capabilities for their customers who wanted an eCommerce shopping option

Omnichannel Retail Software Solution

These days, Jay’s Sporting Goods can assist customers anywhere in the store and can look up the sale of any firearm with just a couple of clicks in the system. By integrating with their distributors, Jay’s can streamline their replenishment and have shelves properly stocked at each location.

Smooth FFL Compliance POS system handles electronic A&D book with ease and they can process e4473 right at the checkout
