Some of the principal considerations in selecting the right distributor partnership have become more complex. Understanding your “sell cost” distributor’s pricing systems, mark-up, margin or fee per case, which one is right for your organization? How many of your key products will the distributor partner carry in inventory? Additional areas that need assessed are inbound product freight costs, overall reliability, technology, convenience, and industry know-how. These are some of the important considerations to help decide which distributor is right for you.
