Our Distribution Delivers Significant Value

*Distribution – The act of giving or delivering something to people, a store, or a business. *That’s how Merriam-Webster defines distribution, but from a business perspective, it encompasses so much more. Sure, distribution means moving goods, but to do so, it relies on a wide array of components, all working seamlessly and in unison. And it is these components that, when done correctly, can deliver major savings and value to a business.

The Distribution Chain

Most people think of distribution as delivering to the end consumer. But at Brendamour Warehousing, Distribution & Services, we define it as the entire distribution channel, from procuring raw materials, getting them to the manufacturer, transporting from the manufacturer to our warehouse, and shipping from storage to seller or end user. It’s a complex chain that can involve one or more intermediaries or channels in each category, all with their own needs.

We Bring Reliability to the Distribution Channel

With so many components involved in distributing goods, reliability is critical. Just one backup or misstep in the chain will impact your entire process for moving goods. That’s why the goal with distribution is to minimize factors that can interrupt the cycle. And one way to do that is to let a third party logistics provider (3PL), like Brendamour Warehousing, Distribution & Services, handle your entire distribution operations.

Each day at Brendamour, our Midwest distribution centers expertly handle distribution activities, including handling of incoming and outgoing goods, warehousing, packaging, transportation, and reverse logistics. Our sophisticated warehouse management system and automated processes deliver significant value to our customers by:

- Reducing the risk of loss;
- Providing real-time communication to all involved parties;
- Delivering real-time monitoring so everyone knows where your goods are in the distribution process.

How Our Distribution Plan Works

At Brendamour, we work with you to formulate a distribution plan based on your supply chain and the existing infrastructure of your business. This allows us to analyze your costs for storage, order processing, internal and external transport, shipping, and customs handling.

We first determine whether bulk goods need to be assembled into distribution-ready packages, kitted, labeled, or require other processing services. We then create different levels based on your distribution reach, whether it’s U.S.-based only, global, or certain regions. Next, we determine the types of deliveries, such as direct drops, direct to retailers, business to business, or business to consumer. This allows us to plan the best shipping methods and routes, saving your business significant costs.

With our automated reporting, you can see how our distribution formula is benefiting your business. You can track shipments, measure performance in numerous categories, and evaluate costs to make sure we are meeting your targets.
