Distribution Center (DC)
A distribution center is a key logistics facility where goods are received, stored, sorted and prepared for delivery to their final destination. Unlike traditional warehouses, distribution centers are optimized for fast throughput and order fulfillment. They often serve as central hubs in supply chains, particularly for FMCG and retail sectors.
Role in supply chains
Distribution centers are critical to ensuring products move quickly and efficiently from suppliers to customers. They have the power to reduce lead times, enable faster replenishment and help businesses keep up with fluctuating demand. However, poor visibility at these hubs can also lead to bottlenecks, delays and increased costs. Efficient distribution center operations are able to strongly improve service levels and customer satisfaction.
