Unitas

Unitas Wholesale has launched an AI Academy to help businesses explore and adopt the latest AI opportunities. 

Offered in partnership with AI educational platform, Pair, the AI Academy offers the buying group’s members and supplier partners three courses – Fundamentals, Proficiency and Mastery – all led by experts. 

The courses aim to provide tools and techniques that will enable businesses in the wholesale sector to save time, improve efficiency and remain competitive. 

“As the UK’s largest buying group, we wanted to lead the way in AI and provide our members and supplier partners with the skills and confidence to embrace AI and futureproof their business,” said Unitas head of marketing Belinda Parkinson. 

“The Unitas AI Academy not only provides insight into how the latest technology can be utilised to elevate your business performance, but because the training is personalised and contextual to meet the specific needs of your team, your business and the wholesale sector, it uses real-world examples which means it delivers genuine business impact, which is invaluable.”

Before officially launching the AI Academy, Unitas trialled the approach and content with a number of wholesale members, each with varying levels of experience using AI to ensure the courses delivered results at each of the three levels. 

Parkinson added: “We have been delighted with how our members have benefited from taking part in the trial. The Academy has enabled their teams to elevate their understanding of AI from the same starting point so the whole business can benefit from the efficiencies AI can bring.”
