Direct-store delivery can boost efficiency

The process of transporting goods directly from a manufacturer or supplier facility to the customer's retail store rather than a distribution center is known as a direct-store delivery (DSD) model. By reducing touchpoints, this distribution method can increase efficiency and lower labor expenses. DSD is based on just-in-time deliveries and might be the best option for operations that need daily fresh deliveries, just-in-time deliveries to manage high SKU inventory, high-volume products, the need to maximize space, a need to control the chain of custody, or products that need specialized handling and driver training.
