Gartner finds distributors are mobility market leaders
Wholesale distributors have sometimes been accused of being technology laggards, but the rapid acceptance of mobility across the industry is changing this perception. According to Gartner, "most roles within a wholesale distributor—whether administration and finance, supply chain, or customer-facing sales and support—will be mobile-enabled by 2015.
"Although areas of mobile opportunity continue to expand within the warehouse, most wholesale distributors have just begun to scratch the surface with respect to using the technology to improve their competitiveness outside of it."
Find out what top three trends are driving distributors to operational efficiencies through mobility. Read the entire Gartner report.
How is Infor addressing the mobility needs of distributors? Watch as Infor Motion Product Manager Nick Borth and Director of Development Eric Ryerson discuss trends and ways distributors can prepare for the next generation.
