BSI STARTS CLEARING CENTER<br />
Towards a digital future<br />
The Federation of the German Sporting Goods Industry declares 2016 an<br />
economically good sports year. The motto for the future is called Industry 4.0.<br />
In frame of the Olymppia sports disciplines<br />
which are usually not in focus moved into the<br />
spotlight – such as e.g. handball, volleyball or<br />
riding sports. Adidas’ and Puma’s good results<br />
are additionally representative of the positive<br />
results of the BSI’s member companies and the<br />
entire branch. In that sense one was able to be<br />
joyful of a stable member development. By the<br />
end of 2016 the association had 146 members<br />
after all. The BSI especially puts the topics around<br />
sustainability, digitalisation such as new laws’<br />
and regulations’ effects on a national as well as<br />
international level in the centre of attention.<br />
In that sense one especially wants to commit<br />
oneself to the topics of sports and environment as<br />
well as textile production in the Far East in <strong>2017</strong>.<br />
The EDI project BSI Sport Clearing Center is an<br />
important topic relevant for the future. Here the<br />
foundations for making the companies fit in the<br />
branch’s digitalisation are created. The, started<br />
under the motto “Sportbranche 4.0”, campaign’s<br />
goal is to make the data exchange between retail<br />
and industry within the sports branch quicker,<br />
and to make the classic sales processes more<br />
effective. Through effective exchange of information<br />
season and space planning can adjusted to<br />
the quickly changing customer needs. “The BSI<br />
#IT‘S GREAT OUT THERE<br />
Sport Clearing Center is an extremely important<br />
investment in the future through which the<br />
entire branch makes profit and which the BSI is<br />
happy to have brought under way in its members<br />
and business partners’ interest”, the project is<br />
commented by the BSI CEO Nicole Espey. In total<br />
one can surmise that the year <strong>2017</strong> will be a good<br />
year with stable revenues for the German sporting<br />
goods branch again. Because when one views<br />
the order situation towards the end of the year it<br />
is shown that the orders are on the previous year’s<br />
level with the predominant majority of almost 65<br />
per cent. AND: A third of questioned businesses<br />
has stocked up on the number of their employees<br />
in 2016. The trend towards new employments<br />
should even continue in <strong>2017</strong>.
