Meet
Sportsman Logistics Inc. is a Canadian company offering integrated inventory management and financing solutions for small and midsize retailers and manufacturers in the sporting goods industry. Through its cloud-based platform, the company streamlines purchasing, labeling, and inventory tracking, while its shared inventory-based financing model eases capital constraints for retail partners.
By connecting local manufacturers directly with retail shelves, Sportsman helps independent businesses compete with major chains through improved product access and cost efficiency.
With year-round operations during summer (disc golf) and winter (ski and snowboard), Sportsman also serves as a retail hub and live product testing ground for emerging brands.
Problem They’re Solving
Small retailers and manufacturers face major hurdles in accessing and financing inventory—barriers that limit their ability to compete with national chains.
Local businesses often grapple with high upfront costs, fragmented supply chains, and limited opportunities to test new products. While manufacturers struggle to get on retail shelves, retailers lack affordable, flexible sourcing.
Sportsman Logistics bridges this gap with a shared inventory-based financing model, centralized inventory management tools, and a year-round retail footprint that improves visibility, accessibility, and cash flow across the ecosystem.
Where They Are Headed
Sportsman Logistics is expanding its operational footprint from Calgary across Alberta, with a clear path toward national reach.
Our vision is to become Canada’s central hub for sporting goods distribution—empowering local manufacturers and independent retailers to grow and compete.
With the integration of Ski Cellar and Limber Disc Golf and the launch of our flagship retail outlet, we’re building a dynamic, year-round ecosystem for product testing, sales, and community engagement.
Looking ahead, we plan to grow our retail and product network while enhancing our technology to deliver even greater efficiency and impact across our ecosystem.
