Definition
The hottest term in the distribution industry over the last few years is “Omnichannel.” What does this term really mean? Is your business an Omnichannel operation? What does that mean to you and your operation?
First, let’s define what Omnichannel means. If you are a business that has multiple sales channels, for instance, a direct sales force selling to direct customers, wholesale customers that are acting as distributors of your products and also a B2C E-Commerce site, then you are an Omnichannel distribution company. Your customer can access your products and services regardless of the channel they choose to access them through.
