Not to sound like a broken record, but the almost-daily advancements in AI make it nearly impossible for wholesale distributors to ignore the coming tide. Now, with Swarm AI's latest development, is the dam about to burst?

In this episode of Around the Horn in Wholesale Distribution, we take a look at this and all the latest trends impacting the wholesale distribution and manufacturing industry. From supply chain resilience to labor market fluctuations to the effects of the east coast hurricanes, we analyze how global events and market trends are shaping the future of distribution.

• Supply Chain Vulnerabilities: Why are companies easing up on their supply chain strategies despite ongoing challenges in regions like the Panama Canal and South China Sea? Are businesses ignoring the lessons learned from the pandemic?
• Labor Market Trends: What impact will the Boeing machinists' strike and other labor disruptions have on wholesale distribution? Are we headed for more job losses, or will the market stabilize?
• Private Equity and Distribution: How is private equity influencing the distribution industry, and what does the bankruptcy of True Value reveal about the future of smaller wholesale businesses?
