The Challenges of Inventory & Promotions Planning
With supply chains in disarray and brands nervous of disappointing customers by running out of products, overstocking is now a global phenomenon.
Fulfilment 3PLs have found themselves struggling with the challenge of how to manage excess stock. But overstocking is an issue for brands too. So, why is overstocking happening and how can brands and 3PLs mitigate its impact in the future?

“2022’s overstocking challenge led to a significant rise in discounting – even over the Black Friday period, IMRG noted a 78% uplift in live campaigns during the first two weeks of November, highlighting that promotional periods are not just increasing in frequency but duration as well.”
