Supporting Market Expansion With the Cloud
While many consumer segments shifted to online digital commerce, one of the largest consumer categories, grocery, remained at 4% online sales in the US in 2019. Things changed in 2020, and online orders of groceries rose 210% from March 12 to March 15 compared with the same period in 2019.*

Growing consumer pains
Growing during transition comes with challenges in many areas for retail and wholesale:
Rising transportation costs are impacting retailers like Jo-Ann Stores that spent 10X its historical prices to move products from one point to another.*
Intermittent supply chain instability is causing delays, disruptions and financial stress. For example, the spot container rates from Asia to the U.S. in the second week of September 2020 were 499X their cost the year before.*
Shortage of goods in high demand has impacted supply, including computers, video game consoles, toys, fabric and raw materials needed for making a wide range of items, such as car tires.
