Will October show improvements on product availability
Posted by Marc Levesque on
Distribution channels have exhausted their inventories and re-stocking schedules remain outwards of 60 days, this is not much of a comfort for those planning a multi stage reopening to workplace and retail venues. We understand the reality of this situation and are helping our clients navigate through many of these challenges.Though the reality is the last quarter of 2021 will not show much improvement and likely more constraints will appear over the next few months till production models normalize. For those using the Kantech platform we still have the P40Key and P20Dye available although we expect these to be exhausted in the next few weeks. Hardware such as controllers and proximity readers are expected to see shortages in the very near future. The CDVI and Paradox platforms have shown a bit more resiliency in product availability to date though we are advised that inventory reserves are being taxed.
