Disintermediation is a business model in which a company removes the intermediaries, such as a distributor, wholesaler, broker, or agent, that traditionally stood between it and its customers, dealing with customers directly instead, for example by selling over the internet rather than through a traditional distribution channel. It is commonly described as cutting out the middleman in a supply chain or a transaction.
