NAW SmartBrief | May 23, 2012
Amazon Supply is a clear attempt to win the growing online market for industrial supplies, but there are differences between the Amazon offering and traditional wholesaler-distributors, according to this analysis. Amazon's price points and Web focus are advantages, but it could struggle with customers that lack time to compare prices and value customer support and expertise. "For many years, there's been lower-priced online competitors -- we're used to competing with them. It's hard for me to imagine that in the short term Amazon will have a significant impact," said Tom Cox of MSC Industrial Direct.
