DISTRIBUTION SERVICES

Whether national, regional or local, distribution must provide timely and reliable product delivery. Transit schedules are compiled based on product availability, shipping configuration, lane density, length of haul and required delivery services.

Oftentimes, partial shipments arrive at a McCollister's consolidation point for aggregation, quality control and final delivery. Advanced visibility to these inbound shipments provides an internal pre-alert and triggers planning for final delivery. Around the clock track and trace visibility is crucial to providing ETA’s and status updates.

Late or damaged shipments may cause delays in a JIT environment or are replaced from stock to provide whole order shipping.

Distribution services may include:

• Delivery pre-notification
• Shipment consolidation
• Shipment inspection and exception reporting
• Date-definite deliveries
• Inside delivery services
• Unpacking and debris removal
• Deluxing
• Assembly and setup
• Proof of Delivery
• Count and condition verification
• Simplified invoicing
• Electronic payment and reconciliation
• Shipment returns / recovery
