Overview
For decades, wholesale distributors serve as middlemen between consumers and manufacturers. Manufacturers rely on this business model as wholesale distribution was the only scalable sales channel to distribute their products to the end consumers. However, with accelerating digital transformation, we are experiencing rapid evolving business models, intense competition and more empowered customers. Today, traditional wholesalers and retailers are concerned with this distribution disruption and there is a need for wholesalers to respond fast, adapt and be more agile. Many distributors are responding with cost cutting measures to sustain and improve their business fundamentals but today’s disrupted forces requires a more fundamental shift in the business model they are operating in.
