The last few peak seasons, retailers have scrambled to cope with unpredictable ecommerce demand. This time around, the industry is facing a whole new set of challenges.
Just as supply chains started to recover from COVID-related shortages, the war in Ukraine has introduced new chaos and sent logistics prices soaring. Meanwhile, consumers are facing their own struggles, with rising cost of living and inflation threatening to limit holiday spending.
