Distribution and Logistics

Distribution companies earn revenue from channelling products or services downstream into the hands of consumers. These companies may buy products, warehouse them, and then sell them through direct or indirect distribution channels. Distributors can include wholesalers dealing with business customers; retailers serving consumers directly; and distribution agents, distribution brokers or other intermediaries.

Distribution activities can include logistics, transportation, packaging, labelling, warehousing, storage, inventory management, order processing, delivery and more.
