Peak seasons are predictable in one important way
They happen.
Yet many businesses still treat seasonal demand like an emergency every year.
Late purchasing.
Warehouse congestion.
Stockouts on winners.
Overstaffing in the wrong places.
Support overload.
The spike is seasonal. The panic is optional.
