An example of what gets on in a distribution center. ( Transportation, Consolidation, Product Mixing )
Apart from storage services, distribution centers provide a range of services, whether those customers are external or internal company departments and functions. Such services include transportation, cross-docking, order fulfillment, labeling and packaging. Also, a well-organized and -managed distribution center will provide whatever services are necessary to complete the order cycle, including order processing, order preparation, shipping, receiving, transportation, returned goods processing and performance measurement.
