Episode Description
The buzz: “The Wholesale Distribution industry is at an inflection point of rapidly changing business fundamentals” (Deloitte). The future is becoming clear for Wholesale Distributors: revenue will come from customer-specific solutions that transform their business and help their customers to differentiate in the marketplace. How to achieve this? Provide value-added services, smart technologies, and automation – all geared to support real-time custom responses, proactively engage customer loyalty and re-focus employees on high-value tasks. The experts speak. Sebastian Valencia, Clarkston Consulting: “Emancipate yourself from mental slavery. None but ourselves can free our minds” (Bob Marley). Steve Okun, N-Spro: “If we did all the things we are capable of, we would literally astound ourselves” (Thomas Edison). Magnus Meier, SAP: “I skate to where the puck is going to be, now where it has been” (Wayne Gretzky). Join us for Wholesale Distribution 2019: The Intelligent Enterprise.
