SUCCESS STORY

Guy Harvey Stores uses real-time inventory to serve customers faster

Guy Harvey Stores sells apparel and merchandise featuring Guy Harvey’s artwork, which helps support conservation efforts through his foundation.

The business needed flexible retail software that could manage a wide assortment of products across different shapes, sizes and colors, while improving how merchandise could be searched and tracked.

With Celerant, Guy Harvey Stores uses real-time inventory data and flexible sorting filters to locate merchandise faster and serve customers more efficiently.

THE JOURNEY

Challenge → Solution → Results

A strategic partnership built on understanding, innovation, and measurable outcomes.

CHALLENGE

Outdated software slows service and stock

Guy Harvey Stores relied on aging retail software that made it difficult to manage merchandise and serve customers efficiently. Limited customization, delayed data updates and a complicated interface also made employee training harder.

Delayed inventory updates: Server-based software required overnight polling instead of real-time data
Complex product attributes: Color, size and style were difficult to track across merchandise
Limited usability: A rigid interface and lack of customization created workarounds and slowed staff training

SOLUTION

Service and stock improved with new retail software

After switching to Celerant, Guy Harvey Stores gained a flexible cloud-based POS system that helps staff locate merchandise quickly, serve customers more efficiently and support the company’s conservation mission.

Real-time data: Cloud connectivity keeps registers and back-office inventory up to date
Inventory optimization: A 3-dimensional product matrix improves tracking across color, size and style
Faster training and donations: Simplified checkout screens support quick staff training, while round-up donations can be collected at checkout

RESULTS

Faster service with accurate inventory

With Celerant in place, Guy Harvey Stores saves time on daily operations, trains new employees faster and gives staff more time to focus on customers and sales.

Real-time inventory tracking improves stock accuracy and reduces out-of-stock situations, eliminating much of the guesswork and manual merchandise searching.

Round-up donations at checkout also make it easy to support the Guy Harvey Foundation and its ocean conservation mission, while the system remains flexible enough to adapt to the retailer’s needs.

“

Having a system that can handle our kind of inventory and keep track of it was a necessity. It tracks our inventory so well and has features such as the min/max feature that helps us stay on top of our inventory. With the success we've had, we will switch our Cayman Island store to Celerant as well.
