Aside from keeping profits up, there are many reasons a company may want to use a distribution management strategy. First, it keeps things organized. If there was no proper management system in place, retailers would be forced to hold stock in their own locations—a bad idea, especially if the seller lacks proper storage space.
A distribution management system also makes things easier for the consumer. It allows them to visit one location for a variety of different products. If the system didn’t exist, consumers would have to visit multiple locations just to get what they need.
Putting a proper distribution management system in place also alleviates any potential for errors in delivery, as well as the times products need to be delivered.
