We analyze things like sourcing, design, engineering, logistics, handling, ordering, quality inspection stocking, or even assembly. So, at the end, productivity could mean that it takes our customers less production time so they can save money and go lean. Or, it could mean engineering smart fastening solutions with less parts so our customers can dramatically reduce their inventory. Or, it could mean mapping value streams so our customers can speed things up and beat their competitors.

This may involve incorporating sustainable packaging, adopting energy-efficient transportation methods, and sourcing products from suppliers with eco-friendly practices.

To overcome the challenges posed by intense competition, wholesalers and distributors must focus on enhancing their value proposition by offering value-added services, such as product customization, inventory management, and supply chain consulting. By differentiating themselves through these unique offerings, businesses can maintain their competitive edge in an increasingly crowded marketplace.

Moreover, the industry must prepare for and mitigate the risks associated with supply chain disruptions by implementing robust contingency plans, diversifying their supplier base, and closely monitoring geopolitical events and global market trends.
