Just in Time distribution is the best way to be able to buy products in bulk at a discount while not taking up your company real estate, space in your outlets or your distribution center. 
Find out what abco automation’s experience as a material handling system integrator can teach you about Just in Time distribution and if it is a good fit for your business.
Advantages of Just in Time Distribution
Lower Store Footprint: A lot of the cost in retail is the overhead of the store building itself. Now, if you can reduce the footprint, and still have the capability to sell as much, this is a big win for you. If you don’t need an enormous back stock (or any back stock for that matter), you can reduce the footprint of your store, decreasing your rent and utilities spend.
Fresher Product: Not necessarily just for food, but for any perishable items. JIT distribution can make sure you aren’t paying for goods that you don’t need right now, and might never need. Or even worse, a product that might expire before you can get them out to your customers to even have a chance to sell them.
So here is what that means for your supply chain:
Bigger, more-responsive DC: If you have little or no back stock in your stores than you will need more space in your DC. You have to store the product somewhere, correct?
abco automation can use its analytical approach to distribution and show you how your company can benefit from J.I.T. distribution. Whether you need Just in Time Distribution for fresher products or less outlet storage, or so you don’t have money tied up in stagnant product sitting in your distribution center, abco automation can help.
