Distribution #1 Saving Money with International Logistics

Distribution is one of the areas in the supply chain with fewer changes for international logistics. The main changes have been caused by changes in technology and how it is now used within this section of supply:

• Less paperwork – increased use of technology to record data
• Cross docking depots without stock stored for long periods of time
• Interactive routing for transportation
• New vehicle systems

Third party logistics is expanding as outsourcing distribution has allowed businesses to focus on the manufacturing or retailing without having to spend time or money by creating their own distribution resources.

The use of warehousing and logistics services is allowing businesses to use value adding tactics to further increase profits through systems such as relabelling and final assembly before couriers transport the goods to the customer. 

This has seen the increase in manufacturers and retailers joining up in partnership with international logistic providers such as Royale International.
