 THE DISTRIBUTION OF THE PRODUCTS

The distribution of the products is key for any business owner. Knowing this would
mean having a balance between time and budget or disappointing customers.

What do we need to consider when choosing the mode of transport?

• The budget must be the most important factor in your decision making

• Transportation speed, if the expiration date of the products is greater than the

travel time.

• Transportation of dangerous products, institutional guidelines for the

transportation of these must be followed.

• Insurance of the products, in case they are very expensive.

Modes of transport

Choosing the right mode depends on the size and urgency of the shipment

Road

• It is cheaper, but not friendly to the environment

• The height, weight and length restrictions of the truck must be taken into account.

Train

• It is faster, friendly to the environment and does not have frequent delays.

• The easiest way is with a carry packet by train.

• And it is only economically viable if packages of more than 300 tons or a trip of
more than 150 miles are sent.
Air

• It is the fastest way to cross long distances. But expensive and not very friendly

with the environment

• Depends on the passenger schedule.

• There are shipping organizers who

care about the details and extra costs.

Sea

• It is relatively cheap with respect to air shipping. It is slower and transportation to

the interior must be arranged.

• Containers of boats

• cargo ships

• freighter

• tanks

Messenger service

Messengers are faster, more reliable and more secure. They can also be more
expensive. They deliver products up to a certain weight. They are economically
viable up to short distances
