Hart Sport - Play On

Without doubt, Hart Sport are an Australian household name.

Supplying sports gear to almost every school, sports club and professional team you can think of, Hart Sport has been a success story across the board in Australia and New Zealand. 

Why Commerce Vision?

Platform

Hart Sport were in search of an enterprise level ecommerce platform that could handle the complexity of their business processes and logic.

Of particular importance were the following features:

  • the ability to support custom product categorisation
  • support for complex freight rules
  • tight integration to their Pronto ERP system
  • comprehensive self-service functionality

CV ecommerce ticked every one of those boxes, and more. 

With seamless ERP integration and key B2B (and B2C) features, it was clear that CV ecommerce would help drive down Hart Sport's overall cost-to-serve

 

People

The Hart Sport and Commerce Vision teams have always shared a similar philosophy: 

  • Customer-obsessed
  • Team players
  • Constantly innovating to stay ahead of the game
  • Backing a quality product by putting our name on it 

After the earliest discussions and discovery meetings, the partnership between the two businesses was a natural fit.
