Stateside Skates

Stateside Skates is an award-winning, worldwide distributor of extreme sports products and one of the most influential forces in the action sports industry, with over 40 years of expertise. From roller skates to skateboards, stunt scooters to longboards, and all the helmets and protection in between, supplying wholesale customers worldwide.

​Unlike other distribution houses, they own all of the brands they distribute, giving them a huge advantage as they design, manufacture, and import all of their own products.

Their commitment to quality combined with a new warehouse investment led to tremendous growth for Stateside, prompting the need for a new business system. The system needed to allow for more efficient operations, unrestricted expansion, simpler interactions with customers and suppliers and more proactive customer marketing and business information production.

Stateside Skates had very clear project objectives including the need to speed up order processing, improve the efficiency of picking and despatch processes, reduce duplication of effort and engage more directly with more customers.

Spanning the entire business, the PrimaNet solution provides an integrated system covering sales and purchase order processing, product management, stock control and planning, despatch management, carrier integration, customer management and marketing. The solution also incorporates PrimaNet OpenAccounts and Business Objects to create specialist, real-time strategic reporting and KPI measurements across the business.

Shortly after going live with our specialist Order Management system, Stateside were able to vastly improve their efficiency of order handling during the busy Christmas trading period.
