Sports South Dealer Summit Spotlight: Orchid POS Integrates with Smart Replenishment Program to Automate Inventory Management

Hartford, CT (June 11, 2025) – Orchid, the industry leader in FFL technology, firearm compliance services, and 2A-friendly point-of-sale software, is proud to announce a new integration between Orchid POS and Sports South’s Smart Replenishment Program. As one of only a few Gun Store POS platforms invited to integrate with this powerful inventory automation tool, Orchid continues to expand its long-standing partnership with Sports South to deliver modern, profit-driving technology to firearm retailers nationwide.

The Smart Replenishment Program, developed by Sports South’s supply chain team, uses real-time sales velocity, available inventory levels, and retailer-defined min/max thresholds found in Orchid POS to generate dynamic purchasing suggestions. These suggested orders are reviewed against demand signals across the Sports South distribution network and, with the Orchid POS integration, are automatically surfaced to dealers for approval and purchase—often with just a single click.

“Inventory is the lifeblood of any retail gun store,” said Jon Rydberg, CEO of Orchid Advisors. “This integration allows dealers to trust that their shelves will stay stocked with high-demand products, without manual guesswork or outdated reordering practices. Together, Orchid POS and Sports South are transforming replenishment into a strategic advantage.”

A Growing Partnership with Dealer Benefits

This latest integration builds on the existing relationship between Orchid and Sports South, a valued client and industry partner. Orchid POS users already benefit from:

• Access to Sports South’s full product catalog and live inventory feeds
• Electronic ordering directly from within the POS
• Drop ship capabilities to streamline order fulfillment and reduce overhead

The addition of Smart Replenishment delivers next-level automation for busy FFLs looking to maintain optimal stock levels, reduce lost sales, and maximize cash flow with data-driven inventory intelligence.

Cullen Gilbert, VP of Supply Chain at Sports South states,” “At Sports South, we’re always looking for ways to help our dealers work smarter and grow faster. Smart Ordering is a direct result of that mission. By combining our industry-leading inventory with Orchid’s innovative POS platform, we’re making it easier than ever for retailers to stay in stock and stay focused on serving their customers—not on reordering.””
