How to Find Ontario Distribution Services that are Right for Your Business
Getting your Ontario distribution strategy up and running starts with identifying your needs.
To do this, you need to be able to answer key questions such as:
- Scale: Do you need temporary support for overflow stock, or a full-time fulfillment center?
- Handling: Does your product require temperature control (16-21°C) or special handling for hazardous materials?
- Volume: Are you managing a few dozen SKUs or a catalogue of hundreds?
- Expansion: Can the facility grow with you? Look for a partner that offers flexible storage and scalable services like container de-stuffing and inventory replenishment.
Take into account any extra services you may require in the distribution channel. Consider container de-stuffing, inventory replenishment, pick and pack, or freight forwarding services.
