Stadium is a Swedish sport retailer with
more than 100 stores in Sweden,
Denmark, and Finland. Its vision is to
inspire people to lead a fun, active and
healthy life. The Stadium stores are
owned by the Parent Company, Stadium
AB, which is also the service office for
the stores. Stadium AB also includes
10 other operations and stores.
Efficient supply chain management and stock replenishment are crucial. Previously we had to handle many of these processes manually, which wasn’t viable for us because we wanted to be one of the leading players in the trade.
