Direct Distribution B2C

Containing distribution costs for fulfilling orders direct to consumers

 Direct Distribution B2C

The distribution of orders direct to customers has a long heritage, particularly in the apparel industry. With rapid e-commerce growth in recent years the internet has become a major channel for suppliers of a huge range of products.

 

E-commerce business may be very small, looking for simple solutions that are inexpensive to implement yet increase productivity and accuracy. Alternatively, more established businesses may be looking to invest in state-of-the-art technology in order to significantly reduce the distribution costs that can be such a large part of the cost to do business in this sector.
