The ongoing global coronavirus outbreak has upended life as we know it, with the upheaval escalating in early March 2020. So how are retail and ecommerce companies coping? What kinds of steps are they taking in response, and how are they looking ahead to a future that will likely look substantially different?

Multichannel Merchant conducted a survey of our audience to gauge not only the impact of COVID-19 but what sorts of plans are being made for after the pandemic is under control. The results are discussed on this webinar. Join us and our expert panel as we assess the current state and look hopefully ahead.

We will cover:
  • The impact of the COVID-19 outbreak on sales
  • How it is affecting operations and fulfillment
  • What the “new normal” will look like
  • What types of solutions need to be put in place
