Transforming Your Distribution Business for Today’s Digital Age
Markets are evolving at an unprecedented pace, presenting both challenges and opportunities for distributors. The landscape has been fundamentally reshaped by several factors: the acceleration of e-commerce adoption, supply chain digitalization, artificial intelligence integration, and shifting customer expectations around sustainability and personalization. These transformative forces are compelling distributors to rethink their traditional business models. In today’s fast-paced distribution landscape, maintaining optimal ERP performance isn’t just an IT concern—it’s a business imperative. EstesGroup’s EstesCare ERP subscription service delivers peace of mind through proactive system monitoring, rapid issue resolution, and ongoing optimization from certified experts who understand both the technical and business aspects of distribution.
