The Project
A client reached out to us wanting to do a deep dive into the existing supply chain in the United States for merchandise with a particular emphasis on apparel. The client asked for clarity on how big players like Amazon operate in this space as well as a snapshot of current market conditions.
Specific Area of Interest
This request from the client was part of a multi-pronged effort to understand how merchandise is manufactured, advertised, shipped, and sold across the United States, but in this instance, their focus was more on apparel, particularly Amazon’s current standing and operations in this sector. The client also asked for information on customer insights and market trends, particularly in the e-commerce space.
Our Impact
We assessed a large number of potential candidates in order to find expert professionals with the right experience to provide insights into both the fulfillment networks and the overall supply chain environment for apparel in the United States.
After speaking to the selected experts, the client gained a lot of clarity on the current state of the market as well as the operational approach of big players such as Amazon.
