Ontario Distribution Services: The Answer to a Smarter Supply Chain
With the rise of eCommerce, consumers demand fast, free delivery. Having a solid Ontario distribution network is essential to your business’s success.
The distribution process relies on many moving parts to get your products to customers smoothly and efficiently.
That’s why more and more companies are outsourcing to third-party logistics (3PL) experts.
Outsourcing some or all these components can boost your efficiency:
- Warehousing
Storing products in a secure warehousing and storage facility until they are ready for delivery to customers. - Inventory management
Overseeing the flow of items in and out of a distribution center to ensure accurate stock levels and availability. - Inventory replenishment
Monitoring stock levels and sending out new products to customers as needed to maintain an optimal inventory level. - Order management
Processing customer orders from receipt to delivery, including processing payments, scheduling shipments, and tracking order status.
- Pick and Pack
Preparing goods for shipment. This includes selecting suitable packaging, labeling products, and ensuring secure and safe transit. - Container de-stuffing
Unloading goods from a shipping container and transferring them to a warehouse, distribution center or other storage facility. - Freight forwarding
Transporting goods from one place to another, including arranging for storage, handling, and shipping.
While some companies do this all themselves, outsourcing is more efficient and cost-effective for many. This is especially true for businesses based in the U.S. who are looking to expand to the Canadian marketplace.
Navigating the Supply Chain: The Role of Warehousing, Fulfillment, and Distribution
- Distribution is the transportation of goods from their source to the place they are used or sold. The process includes the transportation, storage, and delivery of goods.
- Fulfillment is the process of receiving, storing, picking, packing, and shipping products to customers. It covers all steps between receiving an order from a customer and delivering the product to the customer’s doorstep (in the case of B2C) or loading dock (for B2B). Learn more about fulfillment services in Ontario.
- Warehousing is the storage of goods in a facility for later use or distribution. The process includes receiving goods from suppliers, storing them, and making them available for shipment when needed. Learn more about warehousing and storage in Ontario.

Why Outsource Your Canadian Deliveries to an Ontario Distribution Service?
Outsourcing your warehousing and distribution needs is an investment with a wide range of benefits.
As the Canadian market continues to grow and expand, distribution services are needed more than ever.
For businesses looking to enter this market or expand their reach, outsourcing to a specialized Ontario distribution service is a wise decision. A third-party logistics (3PL) provider like KAIN Logistics can help you save time and money.
- Reduce Warehousing and Fulfillment Costs
When you outsource warehousing and distribution to a 3PL, you cut the hidden costs of inbound and outbound logistics. These costs include warehousing rent, inventory management, labor costs, and shipping costs.
As a result, you can allocate your budget toward more strategic growth and development goals. Streamline and Save Time
Managing a warehouse and filling orders takes time that could be better spent elsewhere. Think marketing, product development, and ensuring customer satisfaction.
Working with a distribution warehouse means you don’t have to worry about receiving, storing, picking and packing. You have more time to spend on your core business.
- Accelerate Your Delivery Process
Third-party logistics providers have existing relationships with multimodal transportation. This translates into optimized order processing and faster shipping. Additionally, modernized 3PLs like KAIN Logistics use intuitive software that streamlines and automates order processing. - Boost Customer Satisfaction
An experienced distribution partner can handle freight forwarding, container de-stuffing, and inventory replenishment. This can boost customer satisfaction by ensuring that your deliveries go out on time and accurately.
From cost savings to customer satisfaction, the advantages of outsourcing are clear. Choosing the right distribution partner can help streamline your supply chain.
By entrusting your deliveries to a reliable and experienced Ontario distribution service, you can focus on your core business and growth while your distribution partner takes care of the rest.

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:
- Do you need temporary support, or a full-fledged Ontario distribution center for ongoing order fulfillment?
- Do your products require special handling, like temperature control or hazardous material handling?
- Just how many SKUs are we talking about here: a few dozen, or hundreds?
Don’t forget to 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. These are all factors in outlining your needs for an effective outsourced distribution partner.
- Location
Location plays an important role in both transportation costs and transit times. Shortening delivery times and reducing delay is key to customer satisfaction. - Storage Space
The warehouse must have enough space to store and organize your inventory. This includes the ability to expand as needed to accommodate fluctuations in demand. - Environmental Controls
The warehouse must have proper controls in place to maintain the right temperature, humidity, and other environmental conditions in order to protect your products. - Material Handling Equipment
Loading docks and equipment to move goods in and out of the facility. This includes forklifts, pallet jacks, and other material handling equipment. - Safety and Security
Fire suppression and security systems such as alarm systems CCTV, sprinklers, and fire extinguishers. These are essential for protecting your products from theft and damage. - Customs Clearance and Compliance
Ability to handle customs clearance and compliance for cross-border shipping.
- Adequate Parking and Loading Facilities
Properly designed and maintained parking and loading areas are important. This ensures safe and efficient movement of goods and vehicles both in and out of the warehouse. Necessary to minimize delays and reduce the risk of damage to goods and equipment. - WMS Software
WMS software that can handle high volume and complex orders, with real-time inventory tracking, automated picking and packing, and the ability to integrate with various e-commerce platforms. - Sorting and Packaging
Sorting and packaging area to prepare products for shipping. This includes labeling, packaging, and palletizing. - Shipping Methods
Ability to handle multiple shipping methods such as air, sea and ground, and also handling multiple types of cargo. - Flexibility
Flexibility in handling multiple customers and handling their specific requirements. This includes services such as container de-stuffing/de-vanning, inventory replenishment, and freight forwarding. - Returns Management
Automated systems for returns management.
A 3PL warehouse should also have well-trained and experienced staff. When delays occur, you want your distribution service provider to be able and eager to solve the problem as quickly as possible. Put simply, you want them to take care of your orders and customers as if they were their own.
