ABOUT THIS WEBINAR

Join our expert panel as they unpack the facts, clear and simple:

• Why AI hype is louder than ever, yet distributors need straightforward info
• Why you don’t need all the AI, just the parts that solve real business problems
• What to ignore, what to prioritise now, and what to prepare for as AI evolves in your industry

We’ll connect these insights directly to the operational challenges distributors face every day, including how AI can help you:

• Maximise rebates with deeper purchasing, pricing, and supplier insights
• Improve stock lifecycle visibility, from shelf ageing to smarter replenishment
• Strengthen control over inventory, especially across multiple warehouses
• Optimise warehouse operations by improving decision-making
• Eliminate manual processes and unify data spread across multiple disconnected applications

If you’re tired of the hype and ready for clear, actionable perspectives on AI in distribution, this session is for you.
