Wholesale Change: From Master Distributors to Marketplaces (December 15, 2021)

How companies like Amazon Business, Berkshire eSupply & Varis are changing the game.

How companies like Amazon Business, Berkshire eSupply & Varis are changing the game. For decades, customers have turned to distributors to meet their everyday needs and source hard-to-find products. Distributors used their own inventories, supplier sourcing and master distributors to give customers access to an endless array of products.

But now, marketplaces have moved that endless assortment right in front of the customer. This has changed the dynamics for distributors and even more for master distributors.

Wholesale Change show hosts Ian Heller and Jonathan Bein discuss what this means, using companies like Amazon Business, Berkshire eSupply and Varis as examples.
