Sports & Outdoor · B2B Portal Overview

Self-Service B2B Portal for Sports & Outdoor Wholesale.

The FIRE B2B Portal is not a webshop with a login. It is a dealer-facing intelligence layer built for sports and outdoor complexity: four product categories, tech spec filtering, certification badges, pre-order and NOS in parallel, activity-based navigation, and dealer-tier personalisation — while capturing every click as compounding data.

0%
Of Orders Outside Office Hours
Saturdays, evenings, ISPO week at midnight. Without a portal, every one of these orders goes to a competitor who has one.
0%
Higher Pre-Order Value
Dealers using the portal with tech spec filtering and AI suggestions place larger, better-targeted pre-orders than those ordering via email or phone.
0%
NOS Orders Self-Service
of all carry-over restock orders placed without sales team involvement. One-tap reorder, real-time stock, 24/7 availability. Your team focuses on growth, not re-entry.

Faster Time-to-Intelligence
Brands on FIRE reach actionable dealer intelligence in one season. Without a platform, the same insight takes 4+ trade fair cycles.
S&O Is Different

Why a Generic B2B Portal Fails for Sports & Outdoor

Four Sizing Models in One Cart

Softgoods in S–XXL. Footwear in EU 36–46 with widths. Hardgoods in S/M/L/XL frames. Accessories in back-length sizing. A generic portal handles one model. FIRE handles all four simultaneously.

Tech Specs Are Purchase Criteria

A dealer choosing between two hardshells compares 28,000mm vs 20,000mm water column, 3-layer vs 2.5-layer, Gore-Tex Pro vs Pertex Shield. Without structured spec filtering, they call your competitor who has it.

Certifications Are Mandatory Filters

bluesign, GRS recycled, PFC-free, Fair Wear, Oeko-Tex. Retailers increasingly require structured proof. A PDF certificate buried in email is not a filter. FIRE makes certifications first-class attributes.

Pre-Order and NOS Are Different Modes

Fashion portals do pre-order. F&B portals do restock. Sports & outdoor needs both in parallel: AW26 pre-order alongside NOS carry-over replenishment. Different timelines, pricing, and stock logic.

Dealer Tiers See Different Worlds

Bergzeit sees Pro-line exclusives and Tier 1 margins. SportScheck sees the standard range. bergfreunde.de gets NOS focus with product feeds and SEO data. One portal, three experiences.

Activity Navigation Is Expected

Running dealers browse running products. Climbing specialists browse climbing gear. Generic portals show a flat list. FIRE maps every product to activities, so dealers find what they sell.

The Intelligence Layer

From Dealer Click to Business Decision

Every portal session follows this path. The intelligence compounds across seasons.

1

Interact

Dealer browses by activity, filters tech specs, compares membranes, checks certifications, builds an order.

Filtered: hiking + 3L + bluesign
Compared: Alpine Pro vs Ridge Shield
Ordered: 28 pcs across 3 styles
2

Capture

22 data points written to dealer profile: tech spec filters, comparison choices, activity interest, cert requirements.

Tech pref: 3-layer > 2.5-layer
Cert need: bluesign mandatory
Activity: hiking > trail > climbing
3

Connect

Portal data joins ISPO appointment data, showroom engagement, and remote session data. One dealer, full context.

ISPO: compared 8 hardshells
Showroom: watched K2 film (48s)
Portal: NOS restock every 3 weeks
4

Decide

Co-Pilot recommends assortments. Dashboards show tech trends. AI predicts demand by feature and activity.

Suggest Ridge Shield for hiking dealers
Flag declining NOS velocity
Forecast: 3L demand +22% next season
The Strategic Value

The Portal Is the Highest-Volume Data Source in Your Outdoor Stack

Your sales team visits 200 dealers at ISPO and on field trips. The portal serves 2,000 — on Saturday mornings, during ISPO week, across time zones. Each session generates structured data: tech spec filters, certification requirements, activity interest, size patterns, NOS reorder velocity.

The portal also fills the seasonal gap. Between ISPO in January and delivery in August, months pass. The portal captures NOS reorder data year-round, so the AI has continuous signals instead of seasonal snapshots. After one season, the Co-Pilot pre-fills orders. After two, it predicts which dealers need which tech features before they log in.

For outdoor brands, the portal is not optional. It is the always-on channel that captures the tech-spec intelligence and certification patterns your sales team cannot — because they are not there at 11 PM when the specialty mountain shop owner decides which membrane to stock for next season.

2,000 Dealers Served. Zero Phone Calls. Full Intelligence.

The portal works when your office does not. Every session makes the next one smarter.
