Direct Store Delivery Solutions India

A direct store delivery system is a form of inventory management in which products are sent directly to stores by the manufacturer for sale at those locations. This is in contrast to models that utilize a warehouse for a retail company, to which products are sent by a manufacturer. Those products are then sent from the warehouse to the actual store locations, which can introduce delays in merchandise being received at a store and other issues. A direct store delivery effectively eliminates this “middle man” and allows products to more quickly reach retail locations and customers.

There are a number of ways in which a company can use a direct store delivery system for receiving products from a manufacturer.

• In general, however, inventory systems are used by a retail company to track products on the shelf or in excess at the retail locations themselves.
• As inventory at the point of sale (POS) begins to dwindle, the manufacturer can then be notified through an automated system about the reduced product at the store.
• This then creates a ticket or request for a direct store delivery from the manufacturer to that retail location that is low on inventory, though the actual delivery may take several days to fill and ship.
