This latest data set not only shows the return to just-in-time inventories, but with the added fact of lower holiday orders this year, this information further illustrates the retail sector’s ho-hum expectations of a vibrant holiday spender.
“In 2023,...

Last-mile companies poised to shake up the market
U.S. retailers have a last-mile problem. Complex routes, failed deliveries, returned products and consumer expectations around delivery speed, flexibility and reliability have complicated the last-mile equation in recent years.
