Sport & outdoor
Your pre-season pre-orders, consolidated the day the trade show closes.
Technical apparel, cycles, ski: your sales reps, agents and distributors take pre-orders from specialist retailers in a single tool, with your sizes, frame sizes and technical specs. Quantities go to production without re-keying.
What gets in the way today, and what ALTORE changes
Pre-orders scattered across trade shows, agents and distributors.
Everyone sends their own file, in their own format, and someone spends days consolidating before orders can go to the factories. In ALTORE, every pre-order lands in the same place, by size and colourway, whether it was taken at the show, in the showroom or in the store.
The store has already spent its budget elsewhere.
Specialist retailers buy with a set budget per season, and the first appointment is often the best served. ALTORE sends the invitations and books appointments online before the show. The sales rep then sees each customer’s open-to-buy budget and how much of it is left.
In season, the weather decides, and everyone calls.
First snow, first sunny weekend: stores want to restock right away. From their portal, they place their own reorders, at their own prices, and follow the arrival date. Your customer service is no longer the bottleneck.
A typical order
A ski shop from Annecy, in the showroom for next winter: 3 jackets in 4 colourways from S to XXL and 2 ski models. The sales rep sees what is left of the store’s open-to-buy budget and applies the standard pre-season assortment. The quantities join the whole team’s consolidation.
The season, step by step
- Before: invitations, appointments booked online.
- Pre-season: pre-orders taken at the show, in the showroom and by agents, even offline.
- Consolidation: all pre-orders brought together by size and colourway, exported by factory and to the ERP.
- In season: reorders through the portal, season compared with the previous one.
