CEO da Wayfair sobre Como os Fornecedores Estão Reagindo à Incerteza Econômica
Wayfair CEO on How Suppliers Are Reacting to Economic Uncertainty
Economic uncertainty is the sentiment du jour in global supply chains as a result of the tariff wars, but consumer spending remains resilient for now, according to the CEOs of Wayfair and logistics giant C.H. Robinson. In a panel discussion at the recent Semafor World Economy Summit, Niraj Shah, CEO of eCommerce retailer Wayfair, and Dave Bozeman, president and CEO of transportation and logistics giant C.H. Robinson Worldwide, shared insights on what they’re seeing amid the economic disruption.
Wayfair and C.H. Robinson CEOs say economic uncertainty from U.S.-China tariffs is disrupting global supply chains, although consumer spending remains steady – at least for now. Businesses are managing risk with mixed strategies, but once pre-tariff inventory runs out, consumers could see higher prices.
Both companies are rapidly adopting AI. C.H. Robinson has seen 30% productivity gains, while Wayfair is using generative AI to improve product listings and enhance the customer shopping experience.
Wayfair CEO on Economic Uncertainty and Suppliers
O CEO da Wayfair, Niraj Shah, e o CEO da C.H. Robinson, Dave Bozeman, compartilharam insights valiosos durante a recente Semafor World Economy Summit. A incerteza econômica gerada pelas tarifas entre Estados Unidos e China está impactando as cadeias de suprimentos globais, mas o gasto do consumidor tem se mantido estável – por enquanto.
De acordo com os executivos, as empresas estão adotando estratégias mistas para lidar com o risco, mas uma vez que os estoques pré-tarifas se esgotem, os consumidores poderão ver um aumento nos preços. Ambas as empresas estão investindo em inteligência artificial para melhorar a listagem de produtos e a experiência de compra do cliente.
