Trade / Distribution

Trade (retail and wholesale) and distribution involve the smooth transport and logistics of goods from the manufacturer or supplier to the retailer or end customer. One of the biggest challenges is to establish efficient supply chains to distribute products quickly and cost-effectively. This requires careful planning, optimization of routes, warehouse management and close cooperation with transport companies.

Distribution also involves managing inventory to ensure that sufficient quantities of products are available to meet customer demand. One challenge is to manage inventory optimally to avoid overstocking or shortages. This requires accurate demand forecasting, effective ordering and inventory management systems, and close collaboration with suppliers.

To optimize processes and increase efficiency, distribution is increasingly benefiting from technological development and automation. 

Retail and distribution have a direct impact on customer service and satisfaction. On-time delivery, proper product quality, and effective order processing are critical to meeting customer expectations. One challenge is to streamline customer service processes, efficiently handle returns and complaints, and maintain clear communication with customers.
