In 2020, Boardriders implemented Cegid Retail Store Management to consolidate Retail Management across its global store network. Boardriders, a leading action sports and lifestyle retailer with brands such as Roxy, Quiksilver and Billabong, chose Cegid Retail Store Management as an agile solution to support international growth and multi‑brand retail operations.
The deployment emphasized core Retail Management capabilities typical for a large omnichannel retailer, including point of sale operations, inventory control, pricing and promotion configuration, and store-level reporting to support merchandising and store workflows. Configuration work focused on templated, agile setups to accommodate company-owned stores, franchise models and concession operations while maintaining consistent operational processes across brands.
Operational coverage for the implementation explicitly spans Europe, the United States and Australia, reflecting Boardriders s footprint of approximately 130 company-owned stores in Europe plus around 50 franchise stores and 60 concessions, 60 to 70 stores in the United States, and 200 stores in Australia. Cegid Retail Store Management was positioned to support omnichannel fulfilment and to interface with the group s wholesale and e-commerce channels as the business scales.
Governance and rollout were coordinated under Boardriders Europe IT leadership, with Philippe Gaigé, IT Director at Boardriders in Europe, quoted in the case narrative, and the platform was introduced to standardize store operations, merchandising configuration and reporting across the brand portfolio. The implementation framed Cegid Retail Store Management as an operational backbone for continued international expansion and cross‑channel retail management.

| Centric Software | Legacy | Centric Pricing (formerly StyleSage) | Artificial Intelligence Marketing | AI-Powered Application | n/a | 2023 | 2023 |
In 2023, Boardriders implemented Centric Pricing, formerly StyleSage, an AI-driven analytics and product matching platform in the Artificial Intelligence Marketing category to centralize competitive pricing and assortment intelligence. Before Centric Pricing, competitive research was performed manually by roughly 50 contributors across brands, using spreadsheets and a rudimentary scraping tool developed by an external consultant, which left insights fragmented and difficult to analyze quantitatively. The implementation targeted merchandising and e-commerce pricing workflows across multiple Boardriders brands including Quiksilver, Billabong, ROXY and others.
Centric Pricing was configured to deliver image recognition, machine learning product matching without UPCs, keyword matching, and both real-time and historical e-commerce analytics for pricing, discounting, assortment and trends. Functional modules implemented include pricing benchmarking, assortment architecture analysis, promotion monitoring and visual dashboards with drillable reports, and Boardriders’ Head of Global Pricing Strategy created standardized report templates and keyword filters to enforce a common product hierarchy. The Centric Pricing platform is used as the single source for competitive assortment benchmarking and market trend inspection, with reporting surfaced directly to pricing strategy and merchandising teams.
Operational coverage spans merchandising, global pricing strategy and the Data Insights and Reporting function, with alignment across three core regions and currencies as part of the pricing remit. The data insights role bridges e-commerce operational signals such as Google search trends, promotional messaging and competitor site behavior, especially during trade periods like Black Friday, enabling rapid detection of competitor price and assortment moves. Boardriders uses Centric Pricing to compare product weighting and architecture by price point across competitors and to monitor competitor pricing changes in near real time.
Governance and workflow changes focused on centralizing scattered spreadsheets into a shared reporting framework, standardizing product hierarchies, and embedding repeatable report templates that reduced reliance on ad hoc manual research. Internal training emphasized report-driven workflows so merchandisers and brand teams could drill into specific categories with consistent filters and fields, improving cross-brand comparability. These governance steps were driven by the head of global pricing strategy and the data insights director to ensure adoption and consistent analysis.
Boardriders reports immediate time savings and improved confidence in price and assortment decisions after rolling out Centric Pricing, with early ROI cited in both time saved and margin outcomes as adjustments were executed. Company leaders describe the platform as providing visual competitive intelligence that replaces hours of manual work and enables more decisive pricing moves, noting that informed price changes can translate into material revenue for a business with roughly two billion in turnover. Centric Pricing is positioned as a centralized competitive intelligence visualization tool supporting pricing, assortment and promotion decision-making.
