A distribution center is a large, highly automated warehouse that is strategically designed to perform two primary functions: 1) To receive goods from various factories and suppliers and 2) To accept orders, fulfill them expeditiously, and deliver the goods to customers as quickly as possible.
Unlike traditional warehouses that primarily store goods, a distribution center focuses on the rapid flow and movement of goods. It is a vital component of modern logistics and supply chain management, reducing inventory costs and delivery time to the customer.
