Industrial Journalist TR Cutler Predicts 2020 Will Be Huge Growth for Direct-to-Consumer Manufacturing

Industrial journalist, Thomas R. Cutler recently predicted 2020 will be the year of D2C (direct-to-consumer) manufacturing in Manufacturing Outlook magazine. According to Cutler, half of all manufacturers are building direct-to-consumer channels, because today’s shoppers prefer to buy directly from brand manufacturers versus retailers. Direct-to-consumer manufacturers are expected to grow almost 20% per year, for the next five years, doubling the gross revenue in just a short five-year time span.

Small manufacturers know more consumers are shopping online. They are desperately seeking the must-have tools for scaling direct-to-consumer brands and Katana cloud-based manufacturing software is taking the lead by building integrations with popular e-commerce sales channels (such as Shopify and WooCommerce) and accounting tools (QuickBooks and Xero) to support smooth and automated workflows.

Real-time inventory updates are critical in the D2C manufacturing environment. Failure to have accurate data ensures disappointed customers who will go elsewhere. 24/7 information is best accomplished with an automated booking engine. With a unique auto-booking engine, inventory is tracked in real-time, automatically allocating available material and finished products to fulfill orders; if the order priority changes, inventory will be redistributed to fit the new production schedule.
