Sourcing Success with PacSun

WATCH NOW: Retail Sourcing Success with PacSun

Apparel brands have been playing whac-a-mole with supply chain challenges over the past several years. We’re talking port congestion, freight constraints, factory shutdowns, and labor shortages.

Just when you get a handle on one, another pops up.

These problems only become more difficult to handle when stakeholders don’t have full visibility into where their raw materials and products are coming from. But – silver lining – that doesn’t mean all hope is lost.

Apparel retailers and fashion brands can still establish strong partnerships with their suppliers with the right technologies and strategies.

One recent retail sourcing success story from lifestyle apparel brand PacSun illustrates how the company pivoted to a digital-first and more diversified sourcing operation by abandoning outdated communication methods like Excel and email.
