Cart.com Enables High-Volume Brands to Reshore Millions of Units in Record Time Amid Trade Policy Shifts
In an era of rapidly evolving trade policies and economic uncertainty, brands that rely on global supply chains are being forced to adapt faster than ever before. Rising tariffs, shifting regulations, and geopolitical instability are driving companies to reassess their sourcing and fulfillment strategies to mitigate risk and maintain business continuity. In response to this pressing need, Cart.com has positioned itself as a game-changer in the logistics and fulfillment industry, providing businesses with the agility and technology to reshore their operations with unprecedented speed and efficiency.
Leveraging its cutting-edge technology and expansive nationwide logistics infrastructure, Cart.com has helped multiple high-volume, omnichannel apparel brands—representing a collective 3.5 million units of inventory and processing nearly 100,000 orders per month—transition their supply chains domestically in as little as 10 days. This strategic shift has allowed these businesses to minimize risks associated with international trade disruptions while ensuring a seamless experience for their customers.
The Urgency of Reshoring: A New Era for Global Supply Chains
The current global trade landscape is undergoing significant transformations. With new tariffs being introduced and existing regulations shifting unpredictably, brands that once depended on overseas manufacturing and distribution now face increased costs, longer lead times, and operational inefficiencies.
