why do items arrive late in store?
Heightened Festive Demand, throughout peak shopping seasons like Black Friday, Cyber Monday, and the weeks leading up to Christmas, business warehouses and logistics companies often witness a substantial increase in the volume of distribution. This usually is caused by having more work and less time to do as the initial product life cycle is delayed that may cause them to be received later than planned for distribution. This can be due to:
- Delayed arrival of a product developed on a PLM system may occur if unexpected complications arise in the design phase, leading to a delay in subsequent stages of the product lifecycle.
- Supply Chain issues being impacted by beyond control such as geographic location, weather conditions, and global events
- The postponed arrival of a product developed on a PIM/DAM system could be ascribed to difficulties in managing and organising digital assets, like product information, images, or documentation, within the system, potentially leading to disruptions in the overall production and distribution timeline.
