Episode 2: Data and the Distributor of the Future with Bill Kraich, Todd Morillo, and Sean Baker
How can beverage distributors turn data into a competitive edge? In this episode of Pallets to Pints, Encompass Technologies’ Bill Kraich, Eagle Rock Distributing’s Todd Morillo, and Rehrig Pacific Company’s Sean Baker share how collaboration, innovation, and technology are reshaping beverage distribution.
They break down what real customer–-provider partnerships look like when they’re built on outcomes, not buzzwords.
