Earlier this year, HMS hosted its distributor summit, the first gathering since the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic. Bringing together valued distributors from diverse backgrounds and regions sparks invaluable networking opportunities and knowledge sharing.
Through the dissemination of cutting-edge innovations, strategies, and market insights, distributors gain vital information for informed business decisions. As they interact and collaborate, the distributors gain new perspectives, learn from one another, and potentially form strategic partnerships that drive growth for all parties involved.
David Bean represented IDX and some key takeaways were:
- HMS’s vision is to be the world’s number one Industrial ICT Company.
- Commitment to build and maintain smart employees, happy customers and loyal partners.
- Move towards customer solution messaging not just the supply of innovative products.
- IIOT: Increasing focus on device security at every level – from the firmware and upwards.
- The addition of infrastructure health monitoring to the HMS portfolio (Anybus Diagnostics).
- Preparation for high growth in wireless adoption and solutions including introduction of 5G.
- Steps to be taken to avoid future disruption of the supply chain and the damaging knock-on effects.
