Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Limited-service wholesalers only specialize in a few functions, and pass other functions along to other intermediaries or customers. This is different from general-line wholesalers who handle a wider variety of products and services, and specialty-line wholesalers who focus on a specific product or industry. Specialty-service wholesalers also focus on a specific service or function, but do not necessarily pass other functions along. Wholesale service specialists is not a commonly used term in the industry.
