100% correct, that is what the Distributor must do for the retailer. Keep stock based on historical and industry experience, and maintain the integrity of the supply chain. Take forward cover and work with the manufacturer to make the relationship and the business work.
The fact that this question must be asked is probably the saddest post on the hub today! Massive fail for a great bike! Obviously SA isn't a big market for the Canadian brand but they failed to keep an eye on how the brand was being run locally and how quickly 'they' found out that maintaining a brand needs a good network of retailers to sell, service and support the customers investing in the brand.

Canyon Endurace CF SL - owned for 8 months and always puts a smile on my face and just makes me conscious of how much i need to improve to get the best out of it.
I'm running Schwalbe Pro One's - they went on easy enough with about 60ml sealant in each. Running them with 6 bar at the rear and 5 bar upfront.
