Retail Distribution Networks
Retail distribution networks are the systems that move products from manufacturers to customers through various channels. They involve a series of intermediary steps, such as warehouses, distribution centers, wholesalers, and retail stores. The goal is to ensure products are available where and when consumers want them, efficiently managing inventory and logistics. A well-designed network minimizes costs and delivery times while maximizing product availability and customer satisfaction. Overall, it’s the strategic process that connects production with retail points, facilitating smooth and effective product flow in the marketplace.
