To meet the growing demands of customers and respond to market needs, distributors must expand their offerings and diversify sales channels. However, this expansion brings challenges such as operational complexity and the need for agility. Artificial Intelligence can help address issues such as high inventory management costs, warehouse congestion, and logistical fragmentation. Without intelligent data management, distributors risk inaccurate forecasts, supplier delays, and rising operational costs.
AI provides tools to analyze demand in real time, optimize inventory, and prevent inefficiencies. Chandra Subramanian, CEO Americas - ORS Group, a Deda company that develops software platforms with AI algorithms, explains in the Distribution Strategy article how distributors must adopt a data-driven, dynamic approach to stay competitive. Those who continue to rely on outdated systems risk being left behind in an increasingly unpredictable market. Artificial intelligence is a necessity for companies that want to remain competitive in the future.
