What are the advantages of distribution?
One of the biggest advantages to a distribution center is that it can free up resources used for developing, manufacturing, and selling goods. If your business houses your entire operation from product development to distribution, then it might be hard to expand when business is good. Using a distribution center will take the pressures of storing and product buildup off your back so you can focus on developing more products to sell.
In a distribution center, you can receive, store, and ship products all from the same facility, streamlining the entire process. Store your items and maintain your inventory with a warehouse management system. This will help keep track of your items and maintain your quantity of items for anticipated demand. Your suppliers will love the improved visibility to know when to refill their products, and your customers will be happy to see shipping updates and anticipate the arrival of their order.
If you are worried that a distribution center is too costly to employ enough people to maintain, then think again. Distribution centers are easy to scale up or down based on demand or supplier needs. In the busy season, you can hire seasonal workers to locate products for orders, and then when the busy season is over, it’s easy to revert back to a smaller staff. This flex employment gives you the ability to grow easily over time as well. If business improves over the holiday season and doesn’t slow down, you can easily scale your employment and equipment needs based on the demand.
Warehouses and distribution centers can be easy to get lost in. When you work with Mastin and Cain, we will create a floor plan for your distribution center that is easy to follow and assist in filling orders faster. We also create multiple distribution tracks so if there is an interruption in the flow of work in one part of the distribution, daily operation is still maintained. Our floor-plans will also meet supplier requirements while still achieving optimal loading time. No matter how much work needs to be done, or what equipment breaks, orders can still be filled efficiently.
