The benefits of a forward stocking DC include
- The forward DC can carry SKUs with temperature sensitivity closer to the customer, mitigating the opportunity for the product to lose temperature integrity in transit.
- A forward DC can also allow high cube, high velocity SKUs to be stored closer to the customer and eliminate pallet space on the shuttles from the primary DC
- A forward stocking DC also carried the benefits of a cross-dock location.
We need a forward DC in Orlando to specifically house Fresh Pet products, ensuring they are ready for quick distribution to customers in that region.
Proper storage of the Fresh Pet brand is crucial to maintain its quality and freshness. Keeping the products stored correctly in a controlled environment prevents spoilage and ensures they remain in optimal condition. It's equally important that Fresh Pet is not left on trucks for too long, as extended periods can affect its freshness and lead to potential product degradation before it reaches customers.
