Opinion
Looking ahead through July, can you trust purchase history and forecasts?” – Kirk Augustine
ABSOLUTELY NOT! The pandemic shutdown began a year ago. Replenishment slowed to a near halt. Inventory items on hand were motionless until late May or June. Now a year later, our industry has adjusted through curbside services, tele-everything and animal owners have migrated rapidly to online supply options.
Inventory histories are likely irrelevant in the current period and post-pandemic period.
Now is the time to hit the reset buttons on inventory strategies and management. Nicole Clausen, CSSGB, CCFP, CVBL, is actively engaging inventory professionals in animal health on inventory topics and issues. An upcoming webinar may help them adjust for the next three or more months.
