What role do automation, global policy shifts, and evolving labor markets play in shaping the future of wholesale distribution?

In Episode 123, Around the Horn in Wholesale Distribution explores some of the most pressing issues affecting the wholesale and manufacturing sectors in the new year.

The New Year is off to a bang, as we're already seeing some big-ticket items affecting the world of wholesale distribution and manufacturing: the resolution of the East and Gulf Coast port labor disputes; the ripple effects of manufacturing slowdowns in China; and the implications of new tariffs introduced by Mexico.

In addition, we discuss emerging technologies like AI-powered robotics and smart tools that are revolutionizing efficiency in industrial applications.

We also reflect on the intersection of digital transformation, customer expectations, and branding strategies in modern wholesale distribution. So no matter how you look at it, automation, policy shifts and the labor market are playing a huge role in the coming year, so listen in and get informed!
