Around the Horn in Wholesale Distribution Podcast

Is Amazon Business dominating the wholesale distribution landscape, or is it legitimately providing an indispensable supply chain management and eComm solution to B2B companies? In other words, are they a godsend to wholesalers, or are they the enemy?
In this week's episode, Tom and Kevin take a close look at some of the news stories surrounding developments at Amazon Business, and their effect on wholesale distributors and manufacturers, big and small. There's no denying that Amazon's purchasing and supply chain power is incredible, but is it the best solution for your business?

But that's why we're here! Join industry experts Tom Burton & Kevin Brown for this insightful and eye-opening episode.
