2023 Update: Supply Chain, Lead Times and Keeping You Informed

It has been Three Years since the Covid pandemic started ...

and the world was turned upside down with uncertainty. We take a moment to reflect on the state of products moving through the supply chain and remember the empty shelves of toilet paper, hand sanitizer and other household staples shortages.

The global supply chain is still facing unprecedented challenges, and the video conferencing industry is no exception. Due to this ongoing situation, the demand for many video communication devices has skyrocketed, putting a significant strain on the industry's supply chain. Manufacturers are struggling to keep up with the increased demand, and are facing component shortages and logistic delays.

At VideoConferenceGear.com, we understand the importance of video communication in today's world. The way business communicate, meet and work together has shifted to a hybrid work environment, and the need for video conferencing equipment has become more vital than ever. However, the industry faces a stranglehold on both price and availability. Lead times are pushing out further and further, and prices have increased significantly.

This is a difficult situation for IT departments, who are trying to keep up with demands for both offices and remote workers, while also trying to stay within budget. Our advice to those companies and customers tasked with integrating a broader choice of communications and video to their organizations is to plan ahead. Try to anticipate the future needs of your organization and purchase equipment sooner rather than later. Communicate your goals to your video partners, so they can help design a solution that meets your needs and objectives.

Unfortunately, the supply chain issues are not going away anytime soon. This has become the new reality. But, at VideoConferenceGear.com, we are here to help in any way possible. We want you, your projects, and your company to be successful, whether that means finding alternative products, providing support (onsite or remote), or just navigating the current supply chain issues.
