Sports & Outdoor Retail Price & Assortment Intelligence

 


At a Glance

  • Industry Sports & outdoor retailer

  • Sources Monitored Competitor sports retailers & marketplaces

  • Focus Price, assortment gaps, availability, seasonality

  • Delivery Daily price & assortment feed

  • Engagement Ongoing managed pipeline

Ideal Customer Profile (ICP)

Who they are: A sports or outdoor retailer competing on both price and range, where seasonality and category breadth matter as much as being cheapest.

Core pain points:

  • Competitor pricing shifts seasonally and around events; static views lag.

  • No clear picture of where their assortment is thinner than competitors'.

  • Availability gaps during peak season go unnoticed until sales suffer.

What success looks like: A daily view of competitor price and assortment, so they price sharply and fill range gaps before peak demand.

The Client (anonymized)

The client is a sports and outdoor retailer competing across categories. Identifying details are withheld; figures are illustrative.

The Challenge

Sports retail swings with seasons and events — running gear peaks one month, cricket the next. The client priced and stocked largely on last year's assumptions, blind to how competitors were pricing and ranging this season. They lacked a live view of competitor assortment breadth, so range gaps only surfaced after they'd lost sales.

The Solution

Actowiz built a sports-retail intelligence pipeline:

  • Competitor price tracking across matched products, refreshed daily.

  • Assortment mapping — category-by-category breadth vs competitors.

  • Availability tracking — flags competitor and own stockouts during peak windows.

  • Seasonal view — how pricing and range shift around seasons and events.

Sample Output

Illustrative sample data — not real products or prices.

Assortment gap by category

  • Running Shoes

    • Our SKUs: 120

    • Competitor Average: 180

    • Gap: Under-ranged

  • Cricket Gear

    • Our SKUs: 90

    • Competitor Average: 70

    • Gap: Well-ranged

  • Cycling

    • Our SKUs: 45

    • Competitor Average: 110

    • Gap: Major gap

Price position (matched SKUs)

  • Running

    • Our Index: 104

    • Read: Slightly premium

  • Cricket

    • Our Index: 98

    • Read: Competitive

  • Cycling

    • Our Index: 107

    • Read: Premium + under-ranged

Cycling is the clear insight: the client is both under-ranged and priced above market — a category where they're losing on selection and price simultaneously.
