Eastern Mountain Sports hires retail planning firm

Eastern Mountain Sports has enlisted JustEnough Software Corp., a leading provider of demand management solutions for retail, wholesale and direct-to-consumer businesses worldwide, to improve its inventory capabilities for its brick-and-mortar as well as its Internet site.

Eastern Mountain Sports was acquired in 2012 by Versa Capital Management, which also owns Bob’s Stores, a longtime JustEnough customer. Prior to the acquisition, Eastern Mountain Sports had an outdated system that was not equipped with the planning capabilities the company needed to ensure inventory was in the right place at the right time for its customers.

“There was no question when Eastern Mountain Sports was acquired that we would select the JustEnough solution for its planning needs because of our experience with JustEnough at Bob’s Stores,” said Kerry Muricchio, director of allocation and analysis at Bob’s Stores and Eastern Mountain Sports. “We are confident that with the JustEnough solution we will attain our goal of increased sales and margin through improved inventory turns and in-stocks.”
