Implementing the ‘Master’ plan

shutterstock_144468547Selling points for adding a master warehouse to a distribution business

There’s nothing worse than discovering you don’t have a place to store something you need. It can happen to anyone, but when it happens in the aftermarket it’s more than just a point of frustration.

It can negatively impact a business.

Master warehouses are one option for distributors working to eliminate this problem. Built as standalone parts distribution centers (PDC) with no retail component, master warehouses give distributors the ability to stock large reserves of the products they carry in their stores in a location that is both close and easily accessible.

They provide distributors space they so desperately need.

But the advantages of master warehouses aren’t limited solely to the number of shelves. There are several other advantages that make master warehouse facilities a sound investment for an aftermarket operation.

Arguably the biggest selling points are found on the bottom line.
