Decathlon

One of the world’s largest sporting goods retailers is expanding its value proposition to repair, refurbishment, and rental. They looked for a solution that would provide visibility into their internal processes and improve their customer experience. 

The project

The customer

Decathlon is one of the world’s largest sporting goods retailers, with over 1700 stores in 72 countries. Known for designing, producing, and distributing its products in-house, Decathlon offers a wide range of hiking, camping, skiing, and cycling gear, making the outdoors more accessible to people of all levels and abilities.

The company started expanding beyond traditional retail by offering repair, refurbishment, and rental services.

Challenges

Decathlon sought opportunities to further optimize its rental operations. Improving visibility into the location and status of rental assets during transit and refurbishment cycles was identified as a key area for refinement. Enhancing real-time tracking aimed to streamline coordination and minimize delays.

Additionally, providing customers with easy access to essential information, such as care instructions, manuals, and rental policies, presented an opportunity to elevate their experience and engagement. Internally, refining asset management and refurbishment workflows offered a chance to reduce bottlenecks and enhance overall operational efficiency.

Simple, yet powerful solution

Enhanced asset tracking with digital tags

Each rental asset is tagged with a unique QR code, allowing Decathlon employees to track its status and location through reception, sorting, refit, and storage. This real-time tracking streamlines operations and highlights workflow bottlenecks. Features like refit checklists or asset decommissioning flow can further improve efficiency.

With QR codes on products, customers can access manuals, report issues, extend rentals, or consult the return process, enhancing their experience and providing Decathlon with valuable usage data. Reusable packaging with dynamic Twintag QR labels ensures traceability during shipment and returns, linking each order to its packaging for seamless tracking.
