Why We’re More Than a Distributor: Supporting Shops Every Step of the Way
Share
At System Cycle, we pride ourselves on being more than just a bicycle distributor. Our mission is to be a true partner to the bike shops we work with, providing not only top-quality products but also the resources, tools, and support that help shops grow and succeed. From marketing materials to our easy-to-use B2B portal, here's how we go above and beyond to support the cycling community.
1. Riders Designing for Riders
Every member of our team is a passionate cyclist. From weekend enthusiasts to professional riders, we use the very products we sell, giving us a unique perspective on what works in the real world. This firsthand experience enables us to actively participate in product development and testing, ensuring everything we offer meets the high standards of real riders.
Why This Matters for Shops:
Our product insights come from real-world experience rather than guesswork, ensuring that the gear you stock is thoughtfully designed and performs to the highest standards. With products crafted specifically with riders in mind, they are not only easier to sell but also resonate more with your customers. By partnering with a team that truly understands cycling challenges and trends from the inside out, your shop gains a competitive edge that fosters trust and satisfaction among your clientele.
2. Easy-to-Use B2B Portal
We understand that running a shop requires efficiency, so we've designed our B2B portal to make ordering and tracking products as seamless as possible.
What We Provide:
- Streamlined Ordering: Shops can browse our entire product catalog online, view stock availability in real time, and place orders directly through the portal.
- Order Tracking: Stay informed with up-to-date tracking on all orders, so you know exactly when to expect deliveries.
- Quick Reordering: Save time by reordering frequently purchased items with just a few clicks.
- Access to Promotions: Dealers can easily see and apply exclusive discounts, special offers, or bundle deals available only through the portal.
Why This Matters for Shops:
A smooth ordering process reduces administrative work, allowing shops to focus more on serving customers and growing their business. The transparency of tracking and managing orders helps shops stay organized and plan their inventory effectively.
3. Maximized Margins
We understand the importance of maintaining profitability in a competitive market. That’s why we’ve designed our pricing structure and dealer support initiatives to help shops maximize their margins.
How We Help:
- Competitive Pricing: Our pricing model is crafted to give shops the flexibility to offer competitive retail prices while ensuring healthy profit margins.
- Freight Incentives: We offer freight incentives to make stocking inventory more affordable. Shops can save on shipping costs, especially when placing larger orders, improving their overall profitability.
- Sales Support Tools: We provide suggestions on pricing strategies, bundling, and upselling techniques to help shops increase their average ticket size.
Why This Matters for Shops:
Maximized margins allow shops to reinvest in their business, whether it’s expanding inventory, upgrading facilities, or increasing marketing budgets. With our support, shops can thrive financially while offering customers excellent value.
4. Dedicated Customer Service and Support
From order inquiries to troubleshooting product issues, our customer service team is available to offer fast and friendly support. We believe in making it easy for shops to get the help they need, whenever they need it.
What We Provide:
- Fast Response Times: Our support team is committed to providing timely responses to any issues, whether it's a product question, shipping delay, or service request.
- Technical Support: Our expert technical team is available to assist with any maintenance or repair-related questions.
Why This Matters for Shops:
Having a reliable and responsive support system is critical for keeping your business running smoothly. Whether it’s dealing with product details or navigating complex customer service issues, having a partner like System Cycle ensures you never have to face challenges alone.
5. Strengthening Local Communities
We believe in the power of community and work hard to support local initiatives, jams, and outreach programs that grow the sport and industry. From sponsoring local BMX events to collaborating with advocacy groups, System Cycle actively fosters relationships within cycling communities.
Why This Matters for Shops:
By being part of the larger community, your shop becomes a trusted hub for riders. Engaging with local events and groups also strengthens brand loyalty and helps create a more inclusive, passionate customer base.
