The second topic I wanted to discuss was the experience during Covid. However, based on what you mentioned, I wonder if we should jump straight to topic number three.

What I'd like to understand is how different THG and Ingenuity's warehousing and fulfillment are, particularly regarding the automation they offer. How does it differ from what's available in the market elsewhere? The company portrays it as a significant point of difference, suggesting that onboarding for Ingenuity's external clients is much smoother than if they opted for an alternative solution. Any insights or discussion on that would be very helpful.

The major players lack expertise in e-commerce and understanding company needs isn't their strong suit.
