Phocas finds 39% of distributors don't measure sales forecast accuracy

Phocas finds 39% of distributors don't measure sales forecast accuracy

Phocas surveyed more than 100 wholesale distributors and found that 49% are now using AI for selling. Yet 39% don't track sales forecasting accuracy. Without that baseline, many sales leaders could struggle to show whether their AI tools improved results. The measurement gap looks wider where the top priority is growing existing accounts rather than winning new customers.

  • 01For the 39% of distributors that don't track forecast accuracy, an AI sales tool has no baseline to be judged against.
  • 02Priorities set the scorecard: 87% of distributors chasing new customers track new-business win rate, against 46% of those focused on growing existing accounts.
  • 03Field sales still wins the channel vote 55% to 5% over e-commerce, so distribution AI has to prove itself in the rep's hands, in front of the customer.

Power first: AI data center siting now starts at the substation

Power first: AI data center siting now starts at the substation

Sandeep Prakash, a senior program manager in data center infrastructure planning, said on Amphenol Broadband Solutions’ Wavelengths podcast that new data center site decisions now start with the substation and utility interconnection, with fiber and latency planned alongside. RAND estimates AI data centers could need 68 gigawatts of power by 2027 and cites four to seven year grid queues in Virginia. The IEA reports AI-focused data center electricity consumption surged 50% in 2025.

  • 01AI-focused data center electricity use rose 50% in 2025 while energy per AI task fell by an order of magnitude a year, the IEA says, and both curves belong in the same capacity plan.

Ping’s Gouard: mDL and NFC checks narrow false positives

A bank that re-verified every visitor’s documents on each branch visit stopped fraud but pushed failure handling onto tellers; Ping is working with the bank to enroll customers’ faces so a tablet glance can replace repeat proofing.

  • 01A bank that re-verified documents on every branch visit stopped fraud but put failure handling on tellers; Ping is working with it on face enrollment so a tablet glance could replace repeat proofing.
  • 02Identity proofing should happen once, with an email or facial biometric bound to that event carrying trust through the account lifecycle until trust is dissolved.
