Unlike earlier AI tools that surface recommendations and respond to prompts, agentic systems can plan, act, and execute across complex workflows with minimal human intervention. For distributors, this shift introduces both significant opportunity and new questions about implementation, governance, and risk.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In this Best Practice Study, we examine current and emerging adoption of agentic AI in wholesale distribution, including:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Autonomous agents in order management and customer service<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>AI-driven supply chain coordination and inventory decisions<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Sales support and outbound automation<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Governance frameworks and human oversight
