Lahout's has been family-owned and -operated for over 80 years and strictly adheres to their "10 Golden Rules" of customer service. This makes for an unmatched shopping experience that complements their premier selection of clothing and sporting goods for skiers, boarders, hikers, kayakers, and more. And as a company whose reputation has attracted Olympians and presidential hopefuls to their stores throughout its history, shoppers will find that same level of service and expertise on Lahouts.com.
"We wanted to bring all the Lahout's stores online without losing the level of service we are committed to," said Susan Lahout, Director of eCommerce. "Shopatron enabled us to do this. Plus, Shopatron gives us access to additional orders coming from the websites of many of the brands we stock, supporting a whole new revenue stream for our stores."
Shopatron's retail-integrated eCommerce solution is a great fit for a service-focused multi-door retailer like Lahout's. Shopatron's superior 5-point shopping experience is focused on rich product information, world-class service, effortless shopping, unlimited delivery options, and, of course, strong community connections.
"It's inspiring to see a company that started as a small dry goods market nearly a century ago enter the online marketplace without losing its traditional values and service-oriented approach," stated Shopatron SVP of Marketing, Mark Grondin.
The Shopatron system allows Lahout's to manage online orders and control inventory across brick-and-mortar stores through a centralized, easy-to-use system. That means a Patagonia jacket ordered online can be shipped to the customer from any Lahout's store that has the product in stock, or, better yet, it can remain in the store for customer pick-up.
