The Wholesaler plays a vital role in the FMCG Route to Market distribution channel. They are an important link or agent between a manufacturer and retailers. In the most basic function, a wholesaler purchases the goods from the manufacturer in bulk quantity and re-sells it to retailers in small quantities.
But as supply chains become more complex, routes to markets optimized and the retail market disintermediated, Wholesalers still occupy a pivotal place in the marketing channel set-up – particularly in far flung hard to reach but hugely profitable rural and peri-urban communities.
In an age of digital disruption and the disintermediation of retail, the need for an eCommerce channel is critical to remaining relevant and getting closer to your Customer.
