Industry Trends

• Since the outbreak of COVID-19, brick-and-mortar retail has taken a hit and e-commerce has seen 5 years of growth in 12 months. While in-store shopping is expected to return after the pandemic subsides, it is expected that the balance between in-store and online retail will have shifted forever.
• Servicing multiple brands across multiple purchase channels makes apparel logistics operations more complex. Logistics operations now require high flexibility and high integration to help deliver a seamless brand experience no matter where the customer journey takes place.
• Subject to ever-changing trends, apparel logistics experiences seasonality more than almost any industry. With such a volatile market, apparel retailers need productivity that grows and shrinks with them.
• The evolution of the fast-fashion business model means products go from design to store in less than 3 weeks which means fast-fashion retailers need agility to ensure rapid replenishment of inventory.
• As a highly outsourced industry, unexpected disruptions in the supply chain can lead to huge losses for apparel manufacturers and retailers. The apparel industry needs reliability in its operations and the ability to predict and prepare for disruptions across its network.
