The Savior

When it’s the bottom of the 9th and your back is against the wall, you need a pitcher you can trust. For Pro Athlete, Rick Kalal was the closer we needed. In 2012, we decided to implement a warehouse management software to help improve our shipping processes. Poor guidance from a Microsoft Navision development shop left us in bad shape. Our inventory counts were wrong, the system told us to double ship orders, and things were looking grim. Simply put, we were lost. We called Rick - a one-man operation who dropped everything when we needed him. Rick was there during one of the darkest periods in Pro Athlete history, helped dig Pro Athlete out of a hole, and turned our shipping operation into a model of efficiency. Companies would come from all over to learn how to do fulfillment like Pro Athlete, which is primarily thanks to Rick. It’s hard telling what would have happened to our operation had Rick not saved the day.
