Simmons Sporting Goods Maximizes Data Storage by Going Digital With FastBound and 4473 Cloud
Lindsey Simmons-Curtis, CFO and Buyer, Simmons’ Sporting Goods
My dad started Simmons in 1983. We started in a gas station, one room, and now it’s over 80,000 square feet of retail space.
My dad and mom were the only two employees. You know, it was a little bitty small shop. We really tried to give it a family atmosphere.
We aim to give you that hometown, small store feel.
Pushing Dated Point of Sale Software to its Breaking Limit
We’ve had this old system. We were running forever.
And we kind of got used to it and we were comfortable with it, but we had outgrown it.
We just couldn’t keep up. We were pushing it beyond its limits, what it was meant to do.
Partnering with a Leading Retail Technology Provider Built for FFL Dealers
Celerant was the only one we found that knew the firearms industry, knew that piece, had the integrations with FastBound, those kind of things that we needed.
They really had everything all encompassed.
