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 win-rate tracking is notably lower for those focused on growing existing accounts rather than winning new ones.

  • 01For the 39% of distributors that don’t track forecast accuracy, there’s no baseline for judging whether AI made the next forecast any better.
  • 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 or outside sales remains the most effective channel (55%) versus e-commerce (5%), and the survey suggests AI will be used alongside reps rather than replacing them.

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.
