AI vs. Traditional ERP: Which Delivers More Value for Wholesale Distributors?
Tuesday, February 10, 2026
Wholesale distributors face rising complexity, volatile demand, and tighter delivery expectations that expose the limits of traditional, rule-based ERP workflows.

It highlights value areas like reducing stockouts and overstock, improving fulfillment speed and accuracy, and increasing operational efficiency by automating routine decisions. It also notes AI can layer onto existing ERP to modernize incrementally while preserving the ERP system as the source of truth.
