Centralized Inventory Hub for Sporting Goods

Sporting goods sellers often juggle stock across warehouses, retail stores, and multiple online marketplaces, which makes it tough to keep counts accurate and profitable. Bulky equipment also comes with high freight costs and long supplier lead times, adding more complexity to staying in stock without tying up cash.

Finale centralizes your inventory with real-time syncing across every location and sales channel, so you always know what’s available and where. With built-in sales velocity forecasting, reorder alerts, and landed cost tracking, Finale ensures you replenish at the right time, helping you prevent overselling, control margins, and keep customers satisfied.

Kitting, Bundling & SKU Management

Sporting goods sellers often package items together, like a tennis racquet with strings, a baseball glove with conditioning oil, or full team uniform bundles. Without the right system, tracking each individual SKU inside these kits can create confusion, especially when selling across multiple channels.

Finale makes it simple to build kits and bundles while still tracking every component SKU. Your marketplace listings will reflect accurate availability, whether you’re selling individual gear or bundled sets.
