Industry News
Global Supply Chain Issues Continue Unabated
Unfortunately, the supply chain issues plaguing technology, and other, industries did not abate over the summer...in fact they only worsened.

Product shortages continue across the board leading to the following issues:

  1. Lead-times on many brands continue to be pushed out.
  2. Manufacturers have poor visibility on the physical locations of their inbound (and outbound!) shipments.
  3. Cost increases continue for all manner of products, both in the form of vendor price increases and various freight surcharges.

Lead-times are now reaching into next year for many key brands, and some have shared that they will continue to be constrained through all of 2022.

LightWerks is employing a number of strategies to provide the best possible availability to our clients, but we need your help in two ways:

  1. Please do your planning and make your buying decisions sooner than usual so you can get your orders placed as soon as possible, and
  2. Please continue to share as much information with us as soon as possible, so we can help our vendors respond to your needs.
