The shift in Sunday and Monday on-sale opportunities is reshaping the newsstand distribution landscape. With a notable decrease in wholesaler service, the percentage of on-sale products has fallen dramatically, hindering production schedules and delivery windows. As we observe an increased reliance on expedited transportation modes and changes to delivery strategies, organizations must adapt to maintain efficiency. Embracing dynamic planning and optimizing load factors are key to future success in this evolving market.
