How to compete using deeper inventory and supplier analysis
Discover why tracking inventory and supplier performance can reveal operational insights that reduce inventory costs and strengthen supplier relationships.
Watch now
When supply chains are unpredictable and competition is intense, surface-level visibility isn't enough. Distributors that stay in control are the ones who look deeper - proactively understanding what's happening across inventory and suppliers, and how issues like slow turns, excess stock or late deliveries ripple across the business.
In this session, we explore findings from our latest Inventory trends in wholesale distribution report, which surveyed 100+ global distributors on staying competitive, tracking key benchmarks and making inventory management more data-driven and connected.
We'll cover:
- why siloed and manual inventory and supplier analysis might be holding you back
- the most critical distribution KPIs and metrics you should be measuring
- ways to visualize your data to engage sales, finance and your suppliers
- how to gain control of complex rebate programs to unlock their full potential
