STATEN ISLAND, NY – Celerant Technology, a leading provider of innovative retail and E-Commerce solutions for both small and enterprise outdoor and firearm retailers, is pleased to announce their first client to integrate their weekly SSI Data point of sale data reporting through Celerant’s new integration tools that connect seamlessly with SSI Data. Through this integration, the “Client”, Schuylkill Valley Sports (SV Sports), has easy access to robust marketplace trend reporting tools and reports to help them compete and grow their business.

SV Sports, a full-service sporting goods retailer and team athletic dealer, implemented Celerant’s point of sale solution in 2009, and today uses it to manage 16 store locations plus E-Commerce with Celerant’s automated ‘Best Store Fulfillment’. With the addition of the SSI Data integration, SV Sports can access actionable and nearly real-time sales trend reporting across 12 retail distribution channels in the sporting good market (i.e., active lifestyle, team sports, hunting, etc). This data provides SV Sports with greater visibility into the performance of new products, specific brands and product variations down to the color level each week, enabling them to forecast and plan more effectively.

"SSI provides us with a wide range of data across our industry,” said Nick Rhoads, Director of Technology, Schuylkill Sports. “We can use this data to quickly react to market changes and keep our finger on the pulse of the industry. We were also very pleased with the ease of integration and assistance from both SSI and Celerant."

“We are excited that one of our long-term clients is now leveraging our new SSI Data integration solution,” stated Michele Salerno, Director of Marketing at Celerant Technology. “We believe this data will help SV Sports and our all of our outdoor retail clients gain a huge competitive advantage in the marketplace.”

“Ease of use and access to weekly trends at the style/color level is critically important to retailers of every size,” explained James Hartford, CEO of SportsOnesource, LLC, which manages the SSI Data platforms. “Celerant and SportsOneSource both create solutions to ensure easy connectivity for retailers and easy access to the data needed to manage a retail business in today’s fast-moving market.”
