Direct Store Delivery Growth Provides Food and Beverage Distributors Opportunity

Standish, MI -- (SBWire) -- 02/05/2015 --Delivering Excellence newsletter reported Direct Store Delivery (DSD) accounts for 24% of all grocery sales–and 52% of store profits. This represents a tremendous opportunity for independent food and beverage producers and distributors, according to Julie Downey a content manager at ERP Apps blog. DSD is the process of getting goods into retail stores by delivery reps that regularly fill shelves with their products, take payments, and manage merchandising. This differs from the system in which a manager must place orders a week or two before delivery, requiring blind anticipation of product needs that may change. Once the shipment arrives, the store employees are responsible for refreshing and rotating the stock as well as setting up displays and making sure the items are neatly faced.
