Master Distribution From The Customer's Perspective
Supply House Times surveys wholesalers to find out more about the role of this member of the chain.
Those surveyed by SUPPLY HOUSE TIMES show master distributors to be an important link in an increasingly complex supply chain. More than half say they at least “occasionally” choose to patronize a master distributor even when the same goods may be available from a manufacturer or manufacturers agent. More than a quarter say they do so “always” or “frequently.”
PHCP wholesalers say they are relying on a few master distributors over and over to fill a demand economically and quickly for the large variety of products in the marketplace.
