Sports and recreation commerce built for how your business works.
Seasonal swings. Dealer channels alongside DTC. Service and repair alongside retail. Teifi builds the commerce foundation that handles all of it — unified on Shopify, ready for whatever your season brings.
Where sports & rec commerce gets complicated
Seasonal inventory that breaks your forecasting
Spring rush. Holiday sellthrough. Off-season clearance. Sports retail lives and dies by seasonal inventory — but most commerce platforms treat every month the same. The result: stockouts during peak, dead inventory post-season, and a team that's always reacting.
A dealer channel your D2C store can't see
If you run a wholesale programme alongside consumer retail, you're managing two completely different buying experiences — probably on two different systems. Your dealers can't self-serve, your reps are processing manual orders, and your D2C team has no visibility into channel conflict.
Service and repair that lives outside your commerce stack
In-store service intake. Warranty work. Seasonal servicing. If these are running on paper tickets, spreadsheets, or a bolt-on system that doesn't talk to your POS — your service operation is invisible to the rest of your business.
One platform. Every layer of your operation.
Shopify POS, built for sport retail
Ring up sales, process exchanges, and manage service intake at the counter — with live inventory, customer history, and work order status all on screen. What happens in-store is instantly visible online and in your back office. No sync required.
B2B dealer programmes, no separate platform
Company accounts with custom pricing, net payment terms, and B2B-specific catalogs — running alongside your consumer storefront on one Shopify instance. Dealers self-serve. Your reps stop processing manual orders. Your DTC team has full channel visibility.
One platform. DTC, dealer, and in-store.
Your online storefront, B2B dealer portal, and in-store POS all run on the same Shopify instance — one inventory count, one customer record, one order history. No duplicate data, no channel conflict, no separate systems to reconcile.
Rentals & Demos
Hourly, daily, and seasonal rentals plus demo-to-purchase conversion — all on the same inventory and customer record as your retail sales. No separate rental system, no double-booking, and demo fees that roll into a purchase the customer is already considering.
