Midsize distributors are closing the gap with larger competitors by modernizing core systems, automating processes and applying data more intelligently. In this session, technology partners who work with distributors will discuss how they enable operations to become more agile, efficient and growth-oriented.

What you’ll learn:

• How a distribution-specific ERP platform — such as Epicor’s solution tailored for distribution workflows — gives visibility into inventory, logistics, pricing and analytics to drive smarter decision-making.
• Practical ways to connect systems across sales, operations and finance using expert consulting and industry best-practices (for example Cognitus’ work in wholesale/distribution transformation).
• Proven steps for successful technology deployment and team adoption in the midsize distribution environment — including change-management, phased rollouts and KPI tracking.
• Which KPIs matter most when measuring transformation success in distribution: speed, cost, margin and service, and how to align those with your digital roadmap.

Who should attend:

• Technology and operations leaders driving modernization initiatives
• Executives seeking to optimize performance through digital transformation
• Business and finance leaders focused on scalable, data-driven growth
