A distribution warehouse is a national logistics hub.
It receives goods from one or more collection warehouses and distributes them within a country to main communities, regional groupings, and intermediate warehouses.
It forms the national distribution level between Europe-wide goods consolidation and regional supply.
A distribution warehouse is responsible for, in particular:
The distribution warehouse exclusively organizes the national distribution of goods.
A distribution warehouse receives goods exclusively from collection warehouses.
From there, palletized goods are distributed within the respective country.
Regional groupings can be supplied by a distribution warehouse.
However, they do not return their goods to a distribution warehouse but instead organize their goods flows directly between regional groupings or to main communities.
Intermediate warehouses handle parcel-shippable products and subsequently organize parcel delivery.
Sub-communities are not independent logistics nodes. Responsibility for the further distribution of goods transfers to the respective main community after delivery.
National logistics include piece goods delivery to main communities and regional groupings.
For parcel-shippable products, goods can be transferred from the distribution warehouse to an intermediate warehouse. There, they are prepared for parcel shipping and sent to micro-communities.
Sub-communities do not have their own logistics connection. Responsibility for the further distribution of goods transfers to the respective main community after delivery.
A distribution warehouse distributes goods from collection warehouses within a country to main communities, regional groupings, and intermediate warehouses, thus forming the national distribution level of the TEIKEI network.
