Why would they pivot their entire logistics workflow and supply chain to something that likely isn’t profitable for them outside of a pandemic? They did Pick and Click (ie, curbside pickup) at all their stores, which we did several times. It worked great, was safe for everyone, and used their existing infrastructure. And if our store was any indicator, they got plenty of business to justify offering it for sure.
- cmrdporcupine 5y agoWhy pivot? Because during the pandemic especially their competition (existing and new) did pivot and now people expect smooth online ordering for things they never ordered before. Long time friend of mine is an engineering director @ Article Furniture (hiring BTW), and companies like that seem to be doing well out of the transition. If I am now used to buying almost anything online, and can now buy sleek modern furniture online without hassle and with excellent logistics, why would I drag my ass to an IKEA? I don't feel like COVID is much of a threat anymore at least not right now, but the thought of sharing stale air and maneuvering a shopping cart around a rats maze of junk still fills me with dread. The only thing that would get me there is the free EV charging, just cuz.
