 PRODUCTS DISTRIBUTION: THE BASICS

The following text shows a brief and complete description of the types of freight
transport that exist today, and of which it will be a primary issue for exporters who
will always have to interact with them, how to choose them according to the
companies need and the type of merchandise to be transported; seek a balance
between time and cost, also taking into account the nature of our merchandise.

Another factor to consider is the economic resources that the company has; in
general, it can be said that land transport is more economical and flexible,
however, it has greater geographical restrictions and may be affected by the state
of roads and traffic; on the other hand, air transport is faster and allows greater
coverage, but is considered more expensive than land and is subject to greater
restrictions on cargo. Meanwhile, shipping allows a greater variety of products to
be transported and has a lower cost than air. As you can see, there are many
transport options for companies, it is only necessary to consider the needs,
resources and objectives of the company, to choose the most convenient
alternative for the company. It should be noted here that road transport is
economical, comfortable and flexible, but the disadvantage is that it is not
ecological, and may be subject to weight, cargo dimensions and, sometimes, long
delays.
