Order management built for sports and outdoor brands
Sports and outdoor brands navigate intense seasonality, deep size runs, and demanding customers who expect fast shipping. Nventory keeps your inventory moving as fast as your products need to.
The operational challenges sports & outdoor brands face
Running a sports & outdoor business across multiple sales channels introduces unique operational complexity. These are the pain points that slow growth and erode margins.
Extreme seasonality creates inventory allocation conflicts between end-of-season clearance and next-season pre-orders
Deep size runs across shoes, clothing, and equipment multiply SKU counts and increase the chance of partial stockouts
Wholesale, DTC, and marketplace channels all demand different inventory allocation and pricing strategies
Gear bundles and kits for specific activities require component-level inventory tracking
Athlete endorsement drops and limited releases create unpredictable demand spikes across channels
Features built for sports & outdoor
Nventory provides the operational tools that sports & outdoor brands need to scale across channels without losing control of inventory, orders, or fulfillment.
Seasonal Inventory Allocation
Manage inventory transitions between seasons with configurable allocation rules. Automatically shift stock to clearance channels while protecting incoming season availability.
Size Run Management
Track inventory across complete size runs with visibility into which sizes are approaching stockout. Reorder alerts trigger at the size level, not just the style level.
Wholesale & DTC Channel Separation
Maintain separate inventory pools for wholesale accounts and DTC channels. Set allocation rules that honor wholesale commitments without starving your own webstore.
Bundle & Kit Inventory Tracking
Sell activity-specific kits while tracking component inventory in real time. Bundled products deduct individual component stock across all channels automatically.
Integrations for sports & outdoor brands
Connect the platforms your sports & outdoor business already uses. Nventory syncs inventory, orders, and fulfillment data in real time.
Frequently asked questions
How does Nventory handle seasonal transitions for sports products?
Nventory supports seasonal inventory allocation rules that automate the transition between product seasons. You can schedule inventory shifts to clearance channels, protect allocation for incoming season pre-orders, and manage overlapping seasons without manual intervention.
Can Nventory track inventory at the individual size level?
Yes. Nventory tracks inventory at the variant level, including size, color, and width. Reorder alerts, stockout notifications, and allocation rules all operate at the individual variant level rather than just the parent product.
Does Nventory support wholesale and DTC on the same platform?
Nventory lets you maintain separate inventory pools for wholesale and DTC channels while sharing a single source of truth. Allocation rules ensure wholesale commitments are honored without overselling on your direct-to-consumer channels.
