A new 8,000 lb. gorilla, Amazon Supply, has taken aim at many of the customers of PHCP supply houses. Amazon Supply is a separate unit – not an extension of the consumer side. It uses its own, business-oriented website and offers many of the same services that supply houses offer. It now sells valves, pipe fittings, pumps, flow meters, hoses, seals, and hand and power tools. Nothing stops Amazon Supply from stocking and selling faucets, sinks, HVAC parts and supplies and much more. Yet traditional supply houses can use their strengths to compete. Supply House Times columnist Dick Friedman, an authority on business planning and the strategic use of inventory, warehouses and technology will present strategies and tactics for you to compete with Amazon Supply. Joining Dick during the webinar will be Joe Bennett, senior director of wholesale distribution solutions at Infor.
In this webinar, you will learn:
- The strategy and tactics of Amazon Supply
- How to use your inventory to compete
- Ways to use your warehouse more effectively.
- Other business strategies and tactics for competing.
