Eric, You stated... Why can't IM enter into distribution contracts where the vendor continues to own the inventory (even while sitting in Imgram's warehouses)? The risk then transfers from Ingram to the supplier/manufacturer. If it is not acceptable to the supplier, then do not do business with them. This type of supplier management overview must be implemented now, especially if they plan to operate from a B2B business format. It's called risk transfer. Ingram needs to transfer this inventory risk back to the supplier. I am with you 110% on this. There is no reason why Ingram should have to shoulder the responsibility for gauging end-user demand. This burden rests with the manufacturer. Ausdauer
