Distribution Centers of Today

Rapid Response
Speed – Speed – Speed

With the reduction in inventory levels we all have seen and shorter order cycle from retailers Distribution Centers are becoming Rapid Response – flow through facilities with inventory moving through at a rapid pace.

The Distribution Centers operating at light speed still must perform their value function insuring the right product hits the right customer, with the correct count, condition, and that EDI’s and ASN’s are timely and accurate. Distribution Centers must also perform product configuration and display building with shorter lead times.

Today’s technology supports these highly functionable fast paced Distribution Centers to deliver the service needed. Coupled this with the expedited transportation services in the market place is what’s needed for this new economy and supply chain.
