Goods Control - Bründl Sports

Central authority for the control and development of our merchandise management

Our Merchandise Management department plays a key role in the success of our shops. It brings together planning, analysis, and the operational implementation of merchandise supply. The goal is to have the right products, in the right quantity, at the right time, in the right place.

The focus lies on building efficient structures, clear processes, and consistent workflows to ensure and continuously improve optimal product availability.

A particular emphasis is placed on key performance indicators such as gross margin % LUG and remaining stock rate. These are continuously monitored, evaluated, and optimized through targeted operational measures. The team acts as a central communication hub and actively drives the control and development of our merchandise management.

At Bründl, product presentation is no coincidence – it’s part of our philosophy: staging products in a way that tells stories, evokes emotions, and excites our customers.
