While we are getting used to a post-Covid world and learn to live with the virus, businesses are still grappling with supply chain issues and soaring costs. Some have been affected more than others. In our industry insight feature we spoke to three companies about how they dealt with these challenges and what they see as the way forward.

Over the past two years, the Australian retail sector faced ongoing challenges, forcing retailers to swiftly pivot and shift their focus to innovation in order to survive.
Retailers that elevated operations to navigate the enforcement of lockdowns, state border closures and trading restrictions, have emerged more resilient and capable in the face of changing consumer behaviours.
However, despite the growth of ecommerce over the last two years, many Australian still prefer to shop in-store.
There are plenty of other features, profiles and of course our product pages, which showcase all the latest ranges and collections for your store shelves.
An of course the all-important directory, listing thousands of suppliers in the second half of this edition. It’s an invaluable resource and reference tool for retailers.
