Bike shop software specialist Saledock has unveiled a limited-time offer for independent retailers attending CIN LIVE 2026, giving them a month’s free access to its point-of-sale and inventory platform along with complimentary data migration from existing systems.
The move is designed to remove one of the biggest barriers cycling retailers cite when considering a switch to new back-office software: the hassle and cost of transferring years of stock records, customer histories and sales data. By covering that process free of charge, Saledock hopes to tempt shop owners who have been putting off an upgrade to try the system without upfront commitment.
Saledock’s platform is aimed squarely at bike shops, offering tools for managing workshop bookings, stock across multiple locations and online sales alongside in-store tills. The company will be demonstrating the software on its stand at the trade show, with staff on hand to walk retailers through the migration process and answer questions about how the free month works in practice.
For On Track readers, this is less about racing and more about the shops that keep riders on the road, track and trail. Efficient, well-stocked retailers with slicker inventory systems mean fewer delays getting bikes serviced, parts ordered and race-day essentials in hand – a small but meaningful factor for anyone relying on their local shop before a big event. Offers like this, aimed at reducing friction for independents, could help smaller shops compete more effectively against larger chains and online retailers, ultimately benefiting the riders who depend on them.
