Good morning,
While consumers are already thinking about holiday shopping in September, retailers should be aiming at spring 2022 if they don't want to be left short of inventory.
That's according to Rob Caucci and Bill Thayer, co-founders and co-CEOs of Fillogic, a New York City-based logistics service platform for retailers. There have been three waves of supply-chain challenges since the pandemic, Caucci and Thayer told Inc. The first was in 2020, when Covid-19 shut down factories, businesses, and stores, which resulted in a boom in e-commerce. The second wave began in spring 2021, when businesses opened up but had to deal with the myriad of problems created by pent-up demand.
Now, we're in the third wave: an unprecedented holiday season where everything has been disrupted, from where products are made to where they need to go and who's going to sell them. While it’s already too late for retailers to start preparing for the holidays, says Thayer, you should be planning for the spring right now.
