Stay ahead of tariff risk across stock, orders and finance
Tariffs are making day-to-day retail decisions harder.
Higher landed costs can affect pricing, fulfilment and cash flow before you have a clear view of the impact. Retailers need to spot margin pressure early and act before small cost changes become bigger problems.
We’ve created a library of free resources to help you review tariff risk across your operations and make more informed decisions.
Why tariffs are back on the retail agenda
In 2025, US apparel tariffs spiked from 13% to 54% before settling at 36%, more than twice the historical norm. The impact is already showing up in product margins, pricing decisions and cash flow.
At the same time, 76% of executives say trade disruption will define 2026. Retailers need a clearer view of tariff risk across stock, orders and finance before small cost changes become bigger profit problems.
What retailers need to review now
Landed-cost visibility
Make sure product costs reflect current tariffs, freight, duties and supplier terms. If cost data is out of date, margin reports will be too.
Product profitability
Check which SKUs are still worth stocking. Strong sales can hide weak margins when costs rise.
Order and fulfilment costs
Review where import costs, shipping changes or customs fees are affecting order profit, especially across multiple channels.
Cash flow pressure
Spot where tariff-inflated stock is tying up cash. Focus on slow movers, seasonal stock and products with weaker margin.
