It’s no secret that Santa is the greatest supply chain success story of all time. Not only does Santa have a laser focus on his target market — children of all ages — but he has a near perfect order rating, a global distribution channel that spans the world in 24 hours, door to chimney delivery, and low turnover rates amongst the elves. Still not convinced? Santa’s supply chain was the very first to run “in the cloud.”
