What’s Inside
On January 26, 2021, Coresight Research and Blue Yonder hosted a virtual mini conference, “Supporting the Customer Journey: Localization for Speed to Market and Flexibility.”
The event brought together leaders from top retailers and organizations—including AAFA (American Apparel & Footwear Association), New Balance, Orvis, PVH Corp. and Tractor Supply—to explore existing challenges in retail and the strategies that brands and retailers can employ to keep up with fast-changing consumer demand and shifting market conditions.
In this free report, we provide eight key insights from the mini conference, covering the following topics:
- Nearshoring and “newshoring” strategies, as well as the on-demand manufacturing model
- Synchronized supply chains and reducing risk in inventory management
- Sustainability and environmental initiatives
- Last-mile delivery
- The role of physical stores—in terms of customer shopping preferences and the in-store experience, and as fulfillment centers
- Direct-to-consumer selling
