Chewy10-Q: Logistics challenge

Chewy's Q2 freight and shipping costs surge, contributing to a $157M increase in COGS.

What happened

The company explicitly cited "increased outbound freight and shipping supply costs" as a primary driver for its $157M year-over-year increase in quarterly cost of goods sold. This financial pressure creates a strong business case for logistics optimization software, freight management solutions, and supply chain visibility platforms.
