Direct Store Delivery (DSD)

Direct Store Delivery (DSD) is a distribution method where suppliers deliver products directly from their warehouse to retail stores, bypassing traditional distribution centers. This approach allows for more frequent restocking, better inventory management, and fresher products, especially for fast-moving consumer goods like beverages and snacks. DSD enables suppliers to maintain control over product placement, promotional displays, and delivery timing, ensuring products reach consumers efficiently and in optimal condition. It is commonly used in industries where timely delivery and product freshness are critical for sales and customer satisfaction.
