FAQs
What is Direct Store Delivery?
Direct Store Delivery (DSD) is a distribution method where manufacturers or wholesalers deliver goods straight to retail stores, skipping the retailer’s warehouse. This approach is common in sectors dealing with fast-moving perishable goods, bulky items prone to damage, products with extensive variety but low individual value, or those needing special handling.
How does Direct Store Delivery (DSD) differ from traditional distribution methods?
In traditional methods, products are first sent to a central warehouse before being distributed to individual stores. DSD can lead to fresher products, quicker restocking, and reduced handling, while traditional methods benefit from centralized inventory management and potentially lower transportation costs due to bulk shipping.
What is Direct Store Delivery (DSD) or van sales software?
Direct Store Delivery (DSD) or van sales software is a specialized application designed to manage the entire process by handling order processing, route planning, inventory management, and sales tracking, ensuring efficient and accurate deliveries.
