Axis Raising Prices
Axis is raising prices, confirmed by multiple sources, in the midst of massive product shortages that have harmed integrators for approaching a year (e.g. 1, 2).
Axis joins HID, which also has had massive shortages and raised its prices, see HID Adds Surcharge And Changes Terms of Sale.
In this note, we examine the problems that Axis and its customers face.
