Distribution operation mode adopted by distribution center

The initial stage of distribution business should start with delivery. During this period, through extensive contact with customers, choose those customers who have no transportation capacity or take the initiative to request delivery, and the demand for goods is relatively stable. Negotiate with users to make distribution plan. The distribution center makes a detailed delivery plan according to the customer's demand plan, that is, when and where to deliver the goods. Including the variety, specification, quantity and transportation route of the goods required by customers. Then the goods that meet the requirements will be distributed, properly packaged, and the customer's name, address, arrival time and product details will be marked in detail, and then delivered to the driver or the on-board deliveryman. The vehicle arrives at the customer according to the designated route, and the customer signs for it. After the delivery work is completed, notify the financial department for settlement. At this stage, because the distribution scale is not very large, there is a surplus of labor in the distribution center, and the sorting work is mainly done by manpower.

2, the agent distribution form

When developing simple distribution business, we should actively strive to become the agent of customers in order to obtain good economic benefits. By engaging in agency sales, the distribution center can use its distribution business to directly wholesale to retail and deliver goods to the door; It can also be used as a transit station to send goods to all parts of the country through special railway lines. This kind of distribution is not only logistics, but also combined with business flow to some extent, and gradually transformed into a formal distribution center.

3. Wholesale distribution form

Through simple distribution, wholesale agency and other forms, the marketing ability of the distribution center has been increased, the business scope has been expanded, and many customers have been contacted to understand the market situation, which has laid the foundation for further expanding the trade scope. At this time, the distribution center can attract more wholesalers and users by holding a wholesale market, use this opportunity to sell the goods organized by it, and then further expand the proportion of self-collected goods, so that business flow and logistics can be integrated into one, thus becoming a real distribution center.
