Shops that receive a short briefing on seasonal demand planning convert noticeably better than shops that only receive stock.
Why seasonal demand planning matters on the Flux Max
Order production slots well ahead of the peak to avoid factory congestion.

Build a buffer for promotional periods rather than reordering at the last minute.

Frequently asked questions

Roughly eight to twelve weeks before the expected peak, allowing for production and transit.
What happens if a batch fails inspection?
The agreed procedure normally covers replacement of affected units or credit against the next order, documented before shipment.

Yes, rolling agreements with defined review points work better for both sides than rigid annual commitments.
