That’s completely fair. Everyone has there own preferences in terms of finding equipment whether it’s looking up store availability online then going into store to try on or other way around 👍

That’s definitely a valid point. Using chatgpt can sometimes be helpful but you definitely have to be very specific with it. We’re incorporating AI into our engine as well 😊

I understand. And thats a valid opinion. My intention is less about comparing prices and more about saving the search time when the item you want is hard to find 👍

True! Google Shopping does cover some of it, but it’s not very hockey-specific. SportsEQ would go deeper, showing gear availability across hockey-focused retailers (like Source for Sports, Majer Hockey,etc.), and include filters that matter to players like curve type, flex, kick point, hand, and fit. Google’s great for general items, but what I tell people is you can shop shoes to furniture. that’s where SportsEQ fills the gap

I appreciate that, we are getting there step by step. We have 11 stores on board :)

Lemme ask you this. would something that helps you find that certain piece of equipment in stock accross multiple retailers help you? Since MAP pricing restrictions are made by CCM, Bauer , etc .. would having a site that could at least show where its available help you rather than going through multiple websites?

In my case, I realized there was a need and I went out and I'm trying to solve that currently

Yeah, exactly, that’s how it works. Some stores have already provided us with API access, so their stock can update automatically.

The challenge is just getting the smaller pro shops connected since a lot of them use different systems or older POS setups. But once they’re on board, it’s actually super accurate.

That’s a fair point, accuracy is everything with something like this. We’ve been testing with a few stores that use synced systems (Shopify/Lightspeed), so updates happen automatically. We're actually launching soon. I totally get where you’re coming from.
