5 Key Trends

 for the Modern Distributor

Hear from industry experts and NetSuite customers on the key trends facing modern distributors and how to turn them into opportunities

To the untrained eye, distribution may appear to be a fairly straightforward industry—in reality, however, it is evolving more rapidly than ever before. From increased competition and changing business models to a barrage of new, innovative technologies, the way distributors do business is starkly different than it was even five years ago. In an age with such pronounced structural change and competitive pressures, to risk not changing is to risk failing.

  • Competition is everywhere and they are more innovative and tech-savvy than ever before.
