“BDS was the right solution for us"
Like many other companies, the Covid pandemic had a big impact on our business. We were hit on both the labor and supply sides of our business. It wasn’t until the Winter of 2021 that we recovered to being fully staffed. In terms of supplies, it has gotten so bad that some vendors have stopped accepting back orders or even communicating updates. Because of this, Lauren, our team, and I have to check our vendor's websites every day in order to find stock to order. There have been times when we see 800 stock of the item we need first thing in the morning. And while we were putting our card information in, dozens or hundreds were already sold. For some items even, I know to buy right away even if we don’t have orders because I know we can sell those items quickly. We’ve actually become more reliant on technology compared to pre-Covid.
