Driving Profit and Performance in Wholesale and the Supply Chain

These straight-talking sessions specifically focus on the wholesale and supply chain sector and are hosted by industry experts in automation and efficiency.

With higher margins and improved efficiency at the top of the agenda, this series will give you a blueprint to reduce waste, save company time and resources, and improve profit margins whilst highlighting key opportunities.

For wholesalers, three key challenges continue to hinder growth and efficiency, and crucially, are costing money: 

• Manual Processes and Disconnected Systems: Many wholesalers and suppliers still rely on outdated systems or even manual processes, leading to inefficiencies, errors and wasted resources. Whilst competitors are embracing AI, businesses are being held back by outdated technology.  
• Inventory Tracking and Fulfilment Accuracy: With some of the most volatile markets in history, keeping track of inventory and ensuring accurate fulfilment can be a significant challenge, often leading to overstocking or stockouts. 
• Lack of Real-Time Data Visibility: With all teams creating their own data and insight in silos, wholesale and supply chain leaders are increasingly finding a lack of real-time visibility across the business operations .

Sessions

As part of the series, we have created two bespoke masterclasses designed to give wholesale leaders the business roadmap to tackle these challenges head on and get clarity on the key priorities to continue to drive profit and performance.
