A distribution network is an interconnected system of facilities, transportation infrastructure, and intermediaries designed to move goods efficiently from manufacturers or suppliers to end customers. This network encompasses warehouses, distribution centers, transportation routes, and logistics partners that work together to ensure timely product delivery throughout the supply chain. The strategic design and management of a distribution network directly impact a company’s ability to meet customer demand, control costs, and maintain competitive advantage in the marketplace.
