Is unauthorized resale, gray market distribution, and counterfeit products a liability for your Company and Brand?Product divergence is a dangerous liability for all companies. It only takes a few poorly executed copies of one of your products in the hands of the right people to destroy a brand. It has happened time and time again where bad imitations are returned to the manufacturing teams for service. Only to learn that the product purchased with your brand name all over it - wasn't made by your brand. It was copied and distributed outside your network and an uneducated customer makes the purchase. The customer got a deal, but it broke. Now it's back at your door and it becomes your problem. The customer purchased an experience your product provides. Where do you draw the line? What is your brand's promise and what is it worth in their minds?

"Just-in-time" inventory - is still holding inventory.is still holding inventory. It was all the rage pre-covid to solely rely on local distributors for day-to-day products to keep teams working in the field. One thing that the pandemic has taught us is "Just-in-time" (JIT) inventory if available, was suddenly far more expensive. From our experience, JIT management quickly ate away from bottom lines. Add to the situation where "If" you could get materials, there has been a widespread increase in shipping fees and internal logistics overhead. What we have learned from our customers is even if you are able to use JIT inventory. It doesn't offer a benefit from a point of view of liability. Once an item is in your custody. If you hold that inventory for an hour or a year before it's delivered to the customer. You are still holding inventory. A lot can happen during the time inventory is in custody. Besides as a customer, we purchased an experience, your inventory is providing that experience. If something isn't right or a situation changes knowing exactly what you have and how it can be utilized is the key to happy customers and long term success.
