Technology should support independent merchants, not replace what makes them different.

As James Bacon from AMCO Distributors and Nick McCartney from G&M Bathroom Showroom Colchester explain, AI has its place, but the real strength of an independent is the personal relationships built with customers. 🤝

Knowing your customers by name, understanding their business and offering genuine advice is something technology can't replicate.

Do you think independents should embrace AI while keeping the personal touch?
