Research-backed health supplements and fitness products for retail and direct channels
Sports Research manufactures and distributes vitamins, nutraceuticals, and fitness products through a hybrid retail-and-direct model. The tech stack is operations-heavy (NetSuite, WMS, EDI, Shopify) with no major platform migrations underway — typical of a mature, self-owned manufacturer focused on supply-chain execution. Active hiring across sales, finance, and marketing signals expansion in account management and retail partnerships, while the project list reveals ongoing work on Costco fulfillment, inventory accuracy, and FDA compliance for dietary supplements.
Sports Research is a family-owned manufacturer of health supplements and fitness products founded in 1980, based in San Pedro, California. The company operates a dual-channel go-to-market: direct-to-consumer via Shopify and wholesale partnerships with major retailers including Costco. The product portfolio spans vitamins, nutraceuticals, immune-support formulas, and branded lines like Sweet Sweat. With 51–200 employees, the organization manages complex supply-chain operations (manufacturing, sourcing, inventory, temperature-controlled logistics) and is actively scaling sales and marketing teams to support retail account growth.
