Independent Distribution

The Independent Distributor plays a vital role in the FMCG Route to Market supply chain. They are an important link between a manufacturer and retailers. In the most basic function, a distributor provides storage and break bulk services between the manufacturer and retailers – mitigating the potential risk and cash flow issues across the channel.

As supply chains become more complex, routes to markets optimized and channels digitally disrupted, Distributors occupy a pivotal place in the marketing channel set-up – particularly in hard to reach rural and peri-urban communities.
