 RESUMEN “PRODUCT DISTRIBUTION: THE BASICS”

Knowing about the distribution of products is of the utmost importance for

businesses, since transportation represents a balance between time and budget to
guarantee customer satisfaction.

Considerations when choosing the mode of transport:

• The budget is the biggest influencer
• The speed of transport for the fulfillment of deliveries taking into account
perishable food.
• When transporting dangerous products, the guidelines or guidelines must be
followed.
• If they are expensive products, the cargo must be insured (tracing, checking
for damage or sealing the box).

Transportation modes
The choice depends on the size and urgency of the shipment.

• The road: It is very cheap, but it is not ecological, it may have restrictions
regarding its height and width.
• Rail: Rail transportation is fast, can be expensive, and is flexible with its
deliveries. Sending cargo by train is very economical.
• Air: Air transport is very fast but expensive and not very ecological, air freight
is charged per kilogram.
• Sea: Transportation is cheap especially if large volumes are shipped.

The vessels are made up of:

1. Container ships

5. Couriers (They deliver products according to their weight and are economically
viable depending on the distance).
