For wholesale distributors, the past year has shown that, more than ever, the right time to digitally transform the business is now. The disruption we experienced in 2020 has shown how interdependent the supply chain can be.

Companies have known for some time that new business models and new processes are needed to stay competitive. They have been extending their business growing revenue with value-added services, a wider range of products, and automation of manual tasks. But distributors also need new ways to ensure their supply chain is resilient, reduce cost and risk, and manage their business with intelligence, agility, and speed.
