COVID-19 is sending shock waves throughout the fashion supply chain. Since the outbreak began, the stress points have turned from worries about shuttered Chinese factories and delayed shipments to concerns about stalling demand around the globe. In major markets, brick-and-mortar stores are shuttered, and rising levels of unemployment as well as consumer sentiment are leading shoppers to prioritize spending on necessities.

During Sourcing Journal’s “Coronavirus Impact Series: Closures, Cancellations & a Collective Reckoning” webinar on April 2, the first in a series on COVID-19, experts shared their advice and insights on what companies should be doing now in the face of disruption and drying up cash flows.
