Wholesalers purchase and store a high volume of products from suppliers, which simplifies supplier distribution and reduces their holding costs. These bulk purchases allow wholesalers to sell a smaller number of goods to retailers and other businesses at a lower price than the same volume purchased directly from the manufacturer. </p> <p>Wholesalers act as the middlemen in the supply chain and assume sizable risk in this role. Suppliers and manufacturers sell in bulk at low prices in part because wholesalers assume carrying cost burdens. But carrying a vast volume of inventory that doesn’t quickly turn over often proves prohibitively expensive for wholesalers. And even small imbalances in on-hand supply and customer demand lead to the spoilage or expiration of fast-moving products.  </p> <figure class="wp-block-image size-full is-resized"><img decoding="async" src="https://s32519.pcdn.co/wp-content/uploads/2023/04/Image-1-What-is-Wholesale-Supply-Chain-1.svg" alt="" class="wp-image-42058" style="width:839px;height:762px"/><figcaption class="wp-element-caption"><strong><em>Fig. 1:</em></strong> Wholesalers must balance the needs of retail customers alongside their relationship with suppliers, manufacturers, and distributors. </figcaption></figure> <h3 class="wp-block-heading">Wholesalers vs. distributors </h3> <p>People often use the terms “wholesalers,” “distributors,” and “wholesale distributors” interchangeably. While distributors play a role similar to wholesalers, key differences distinguish the two types of businesses.  </p> <p><strong>Distributors </strong>often hold contracts with manufacturer and supplier partners stipulating they can’t carry or promote rival products. They work closely with suppliers to promote these products to customers, effectively serving as an extension of the suppliers themselves. They sell to both wholesalers and directly to retailers in the supply chain. </p> <p><strong>Wholesalers </strong>buy from suppliers, manufacturers, and distributors. They have more freedom regarding what products they can carry and what they can promote. But because both wholesalers and distributors occupy “middleman” positions in the greater supply chain, they share similar concerns surrounding supply chain optimization. </p> <figure class="wp-block-image aligncenter size-full is-resized"><img decoding="async" src="https://s32519.pcdn.co/wp-content/uploads/2023/04/Grocery.svg" alt="An assortment of grocery products." class="wp-image-42031" style="width:350px;height:241px"/></figure> <p><a rel="noreferrer noopener" href="https://relexsolutions.sharepoint.com/sites/mktg/Content/Forms/AllItems.aspx?id=%2Fsites%2Fmktg%2FContent%2FPillar%20Pages%2FWholesale%20pillar%20page%2FFinal%2FGraphics%2FGrocery%2Epng&viewid=2378ac97%2Db19e%2D425b%2Db850%2De5569bce7bbd&parent=%2Fsites%2Fmktg%2FContent%2FPillar%20Pages%2FWholesale%20pillar%20page%2FFinal%2FGraphics" target="_blank"></a></p> <h2 class="wp-block-heading" id="type">Types of wholesalers </h2> <p>Much like the customers they serve, wholesalers come in all shapes and sizes — with every vertical experiencing unique issues. </p> <p>Some of the largest wholesale verticals include: </p> <h3 class="wp-block-heading">Automotive parts and tools wholesalers </h3> <p><a href="https://www.relexsolutions.com/relex-for-automotive-part-distribution/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Wholesalers dealing in auto parts and tools</a> manage a broad and complicated assortment. Their products often turn over slowly, forcing wholesalers to carry goods in limited quantities. Yet demand for the goods often shifts with the seasons, leading to undesirable stockouts and shortages caused by long lead times. </p> <p>The fact that many auto parts and tools wholesalers are beholden to manual processes and archaic planning systems only compounds these issues. These companies require wholesale inventory management solutions that reduce inventory levels without sacrificing availability. </p> <h3 class="wp-block-heading">Building, construction, and technical trade wholesalers </h3> <p><a href="https://www.relexsolutions.com/relex-for-construction-and-technical-trade-distributors-and-wholesalers/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Building, construction, and trade wholesalers</a> are highly sensitive to seasonality, and external factors like weather can inhibit even the busiest of peak periods. Wholesalers in this sector must maintain high availability without overstocking — a task made more difficult by varying lead times and a wide assortment comprising both fast- and slow-moving inventories. </p> <p>Wholesalers that have yet to modernize their supply chain planning solutions often find that their manual systems negatively impact other areas of their business as well. Customer experience and sales levels suffer when employees must sink their time into labor-intensive planning tasks instead of focusing on customer-facing tasks. </p> <h3 class="wp-block-heading">Grocery & foodservice wholesalers </h3> <p><a href="https://www.relexsolutions.com/relex-for-grocery-and-foodservice/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Grocery and foodservice wholesalers</a> both face the unique challenge of dealing with products that risk spoilage or expiration if they don’t move fast. Wholesalers who specialize in foodservice sell exclusively food products to industries like restaurants, caterers, and hotels. Meanwhile, grocery wholesalers face the dual challenge of carrying quick-to-expire fresh products as well as more stable ambient foods like canned goods. </p> <p>Balance is a key concern for fresh food wholesalers. Businesses must maintain high service levels to keep their customers, especially ahead of promotions and peak seasons. But everything from poor weather to bad harvests can negatively impact supply and demand. Wholesalers also need highly accurate forecasting to prevent spoilage caused by over-ordering. </p> <div class="banner alignwide margin-top-default is-simple wp-block-meomblocks-banner"> <div class="wp-block-group alignwide is-content-justification-space-between is-layout-flex wp-container-core-group-is-layout-2 wp-block-group-is-layout-flex"> <div class="wp-block-group is-vertical is-content-justification-left is-nowrap is-layout-flex wp-container-core-group-is-layout-1 wp-block-group-is-layout-flex"> <h2 class="wp-block-heading has-relex-h-4-font-size"><a href="https://www.relexsolutions.com/resources/wholesale-margins/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">3 ways planning software raises grocery wholesale margins</a></h2> </div> <div class="wp-block-buttons is-layout-flex wp-block-buttons-is-layout-flex"> <div class="wp-block-button"><a class="wp-block-button__link wp-element-button" href="https://www.relexsolutions.com/resources/wholesale-margins/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Read more</a></div> </div> </div> </div> <h3 class="wp-block-heading">Pharmaceuticals wholesalers </h3> <p><a href="https://www.relexsolutions.com/relex-for-pharmaceutical-distributors-and-wholesalers/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Wholesalers in the pharma sector</a> deal with similar pressures as other types of wholesalers, like managing inventory holding costs and maintaining necessary service levels. But they must also meet restrictions, requirements, and regulations from retailers, pharmaceuticals suppliers, governments, and other regulatory bodies that affect when and how orders can be fulfilled.  </p> <p>Pharmaceutical wholesalers commonly see sudden demand shifts as they service a diverse customer base that includes hospitals, retailers, and other healthcare services. Product shortages on the part of suppliers exacerbate these supply and demand issues. Optimization of the pharmaceutical wholesale supply chain requires a forecasting and replenishment solution capable of swiftly detecting demand shifts and adjusting forecasts accordingly. </p> <figure class="wp-block-image aligncenter size-full is-resized"><img decoding="async" src="https://s32519.pcdn.co/wp-content/uploads/2023/04/Pharma.svg" alt="An assortment of pharmaceutical products." class="wp-image-42035" style="width:350px;height:252px"/></figure> <h2 class="wp-block-heading" id="benefits">The benefits of wholesale supply chain optimization </h2> <p>There’s a classic “glass half empty/glass half full” way of looking at the wholesale supply chain.

A streamlined supply chain does just that, providing cost-saving and value-adding benefits critical for long-term success.  </p> <p>These benefits include:  </p> <ul class="wp-block-list"> <li><strong>Increased inventory turnover.</strong> Wholesalers who work from highly accurate forecasts manage inventory more efficiently, reducing holding costs and spoilage due to overstocking. </li> <li><strong>Decreased complexity. </strong>Inventory may ship from the manufacturer to a central wholesale location and then to regional branches before reaching stores and consumers. Wholesalers working from the most up-to-date forecasts and working from data-informed digital models maintain better supply chain visibility and control even as the business scales. </li> <li><strong>Increased productivity. </strong>Too many highly trained workers get mired in repetitive background tasks instead of focusing on revenue-building tasks. Wholesalers who use digital tools to automate tedious tasks like manual forecasting can instead turn skilled employees toward nuanced, value-adding work that computers can’t perform. </li> <li><strong>Improved customer satisfaction. </strong>Retailers often feel the biggest impact of disruptions, given their position at the end of the supply chain. Any wholesaler who can fulfill orders on time and at a low price is sure to thrill their retail customers. </li> </ul> <div class="banner alignwide margin-top-default is-simple wp-block-meomblocks-banner"> <div class="wp-block-group alignwide is-content-justification-space-between is-layout-flex wp-container-core-group-is-layout-4 wp-block-group-is-layout-flex"> <div class="wp-block-group is-vertical is-content-justification-left is-nowrap is-layout-flex wp-container-core-group-is-layout-3 wp-block-group-is-layout-flex"> <h2 class="wp-block-heading has-relex-h-4-font-size"><a href="https://www.relexsolutions.com/resources/load-optimization/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">How coordinated ordering improves load optimization</a></h2> </div> <div class="wp-block-buttons is-layout-flex wp-block-buttons-is-layout-flex"> <div class="wp-block-button"><a class="wp-block-button__link wp-element-button" href="https://www.relexsolutions.com/resources/load-optimization/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Read more</a></div> </div> </div> </div> <h2 class="wp-block-heading" id="challenges">3 biggest wholesale supply chain management challenges</h2> <script src="https://fast.wistia.com/embed/medias/mfpk3pa7vz.jsonp" async=""></script><script src="https://fast.wistia.com/assets/external/E-v1.js" async=""></script><div class="wistia_responsive_padding_new" style="aspect-ratio:16 / 9;position:relative;"><div class="wistia_responsive_wrapper" style="height:100%;left:0;position:absolute;top:0;width:100%;"><div class="wistia_embed wistia_async_mfpk3pa7vz seo=false videoFoam=true" style="height:100%;position:relative;width:100%"><div class="wistia_swatch" style="height:100%;left:0;opacity:0;overflow:hidden;position:absolute;top:0;transition:opacity 200ms;width:100%;"><img decoding="async" src="https://fast.wistia.com/embed/medias/mfpk3pa7vz/swatch" style="filter:blur(5px);height:100%;object-fit:contain;width:100%;" alt="" aria-hidden="true" onload="this.parentNode.style.opacity=1;"></div></div></div></div> <div style="height:20px" aria-hidden="true" class="wp-block-spacer"></div> <p>Wholesalers of all varieties face multiple high-level challenges that complicate the supply chain and threaten profitability. The three biggest supply chain challenges facing the wholesale industry include: </p> <h3 class="wp-block-heading">1.  Increasing external disruptions </h3> <p>The onset of the COVID pandemic revealed gaping inefficiencies in the whole value chain. Suppliers, manufacturers, wholesalers, retailers, and consumers alike still suffer from material shortages, delivery delays, and sky-high inflation. These disruptions are lose-lose situations for wholesalers, who try to appease manufacturers and customers alike while stuck in the middle of a hobbled supply chain.  </p> <p>Wholesale business models only succeed within razor-thin margins, and these companies have seen margins erode from both ends of the supply chain. Wholesalers pay more for products as material prices and inflation rates have risen. This puts wholesalers in the unfavorable position of passing price increases on to their retailers, many of whom are already signaling an unwillingness to <a href="https://www.reuters.com/business/retail-consumer/walmart-pushes-back-major-product-suppliers-ask-higher-prices-2023-02-10/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">raise prices further</a> on their consumers.  </p> <p>Supply chain disruptions especially hurt wholesalers who deal with fresh products or those that expire quickly. Delayed shipping from suppliers or to retailers can result in spoilage and waste, resulting in lost revenue and unhappy customers.  </p> <h3 class="wp-block-heading">2. Shifting supplier, retailer, and consumer preferences </h3> <p>Retailers tired of repeated disruptions have increasingly turned to vertical integration to take ownership of their supply chain. And more suppliers than ever have turned to direct-to-consumer strategies through new sales channels like ecommerce. These changes have chipped away at the middle ground wholesalers have traditionally occupied. </p> <blockquote class="wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow"> <p><strong><em>Sales of private label products grew by 11.3% in 2022 alone.</em></strong> </p> </blockquote> <p>Consumer preferences are also shifting. Consumers are increasingly cost-conscious due to high inflation and look for high-quality, low-cost products wherever they can. This search for value has fueled an increase in the sale of private label goods. The <a href="https://plma.com/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Private Label Manufacturers Association</a> reports that sales of <a href="https://www.plma.com/sites/default/files/files/2023-02/plma2023-singlepages.pdf" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">private label products</a> grew by 11.3% in 2022 alone, a trend which puts pressure on wholesalers to offer these goods to appeal to consumer needs. </p> <h3 class="wp-block-heading">3.  Growing supply chain complexity </h3> <p>Changes in infrastructure, procedure, distribution, and customer expectations have complicated operations for every business within the supply chain.

Headache-free data management </h3> <p>Data paves the way to wholesale supply chain success. The creation of accurate demand forecasts and a digital supply chain model require great volumes of relevant data, much of which is owned by suppliers and retailers. It’s tricky enough to convince these parties to share this important data. But along the supply chain, different companies use different tools, causing wholesalers to receive data in unreadable or incompatible formats. </p> <p>Wholesalers require a planning solution that wrangles their data into a form they can use to suit their needs. A worthwhile planning solution must: </p> <ul class="wp-block-list"> <li>Automate data collection from internal sources, suppliers, and retailers </li> <li>Unify disparate data sets within a single platform </li> <li>Transform data into a format compatible with their existing tool stack </li> </ul> <div class="banner alignwide margin-top-default is-simple wp-block-meomblocks-banner"> <div class="wp-block-group alignwide is-content-justification-space-between is-layout-flex wp-container-core-group-is-layout-14 wp-block-group-is-layout-flex"> <div class="wp-block-group is-vertical is-content-justification-left is-nowrap is-layout-flex wp-container-core-group-is-layout-13 wp-block-group-is-layout-flex"> <h2 class="wp-block-heading has-relex-h-4-font-size"><a href="https://www.relexsolutions.com/resources/does-your-database-deliver-how-specialization-pushes-the-boundaries-of-high-performance-data-processing/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">How specialization pushes the boundaries of data processing</a></h2> </div> <div class="wp-block-buttons is-layout-flex wp-block-buttons-is-layout-flex"> <div class="wp-block-button"><a class="wp-block-button__link wp-element-button" href="#https://www.relexsolutions.com/resources/does-your-database-deliver-how-specialization-pushes-the-boundaries-of-high-performance-data-processing/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Read more</a></div> </div> </div> </div> <h3 class="wp-block-heading">2. Automated & granular forecasting powered by machine learning </h3> <p>Any planning platform worth its salt will include automated forecasting. Planning tools will not only generate forecasts based on up-to-date data but will also adjust forecasts automatically as newer and more relevant data streams in. This allows wholesalers to stay on top of demand shifts and prevent stockouts or spoilage. </p> <p>Automated forecasts are especially helpful when performed at granular levels. Wholesalers use planning tools to cluster similar accounts together and create specific forecasts for each unique segment. Worthwhile platforms also enable companies to forecast by sales and fulfillment channel to increase forecast and internal alignment. </p> <p>The best planning platforms take things a step further using the power of AI. Platforms capable of machine learning analyze and react to changes at a speed and accuracy far surpassing human capabilities.  The software “learns” from events, preventing planners from performing repetitive tasks and allows them to focus on improving efficiency elsewhere.   </p> <div class="banner alignwide margin-top-default is-simple wp-block-meomblocks-banner"> <div class="wp-block-group alignwide is-content-justification-space-between is-layout-flex wp-container-core-group-is-layout-16 wp-block-group-is-layout-flex"> <div class="wp-block-group is-vertical is-content-justification-left is-nowrap is-layout-flex wp-container-core-group-is-layout-15 wp-block-group-is-layout-flex"> <h2 class="wp-block-heading has-relex-h-4-font-size"><a href="https://www.relexsolutions.com/resources/a-pragmatic-guide-to-ai-and-machine-learning/">A pragmatic guide to AI & machine </a><a href="https://www.relexsolutions.com/resources/a-pragmatic-guide-to-ai-and-machine-learning/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">learning</a></h2> </div> <div class="wp-block-buttons is-layout-flex wp-block-buttons-is-layout-flex"> <div class="wp-block-button"><a class="wp-block-button__link wp-element-button" href="https://www.relexsolutions.com/resources/a-pragmatic-guide-to-ai-and-machine-learning/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Watch the video</a></div> </div> </div> </div> <h3 class="wp-block-heading">3.
