Every year, the CGS team surveys a global panel of brand and retail leaders. This supply chain survey is an effort to measure how their technology uses have changed and how their strategies have been shaped by rapid digital transformation. No prior year could have prepared CGS, or the participants in its annual study, for the disruption of 2020.
The Covid-19 pandemic compressed years of transformation into just 12 months. It created total upheaval – from ecommerce channels to extended supply chains. Consequently, brand and retail businesses have had to respond in real-time to the full extent of the apparel supply chain and fashion product lifecycle. They must learn how to survive and thrive in the digitally transformed fashion and consumer products retail environment.
In the space of a single year, organisations have needed to insulate themselves against historic change. They need to prepare for a future where almost nothing is predictable. This distilled disruption has dramatically altered the way CGS’s survey group feels about technology, and about the wider industry.
Because of the pandemic, CGS’s 2021 Annual Report on Supply Chain Trends and Technology is unlike any report it has published before.
