These are challenging times for distributors and wholesalers of industrial equipment. Consolidation is a growing trend, with a major shakeout predicted in the next 5 years. Globalisation isn't just something that happens in other countries - companies like yours will need to extend their global reach to remain competitive. Growing price t ransparency between suppliers means there's a squeeze on margins from all directions, and huge pressure to achieve the right mix from extensive and growing product ranges. Ecommerce could be a powerful source of competitive advantage, but only if you get it right!
