More promotional products are moving out of warehouses to retailers for the holiday season, according to the North America CEO for DHL Supply Chain.
Overall, the consumer outlook is similar to last year, and the supply chain is looking more stable.
One notable shift, according to DHL’s Patrick Kelleher, is e-commerce spacing out delivery of products around big dates like Black Friday and Cyber Monday, giving warehouses the ability to cut down on labor costs.
The consumer continues to look healthy and the supply chain has regained stability as the holiday shopping season begins.
That’s according to DHL Supply Chain’s new CEO for North America, Patrick Kelleher, who told CNBC the shipping company is seeing more promotional items make their way out of warehouses and to retailers, but not in a signal of increased consumer weakness compared to the prior year.
“Across the board, we are seeing volumes very similar to what we’ve seen in past years, especially last year,” said Kelleher.
