Disintermediation is the removal of layers in a supply chain, or ‘cutting out the middleman’. Instead of going through traditional distribution channels that have multiple intermediaries, for example wholesaler, broker, agent or distributor, buyers choose to deal with the manufacturer directly or eliminate other stages in the supply chain. See also Supply Chain.
