Material Handling Solutions for the Beverage Industry
Today, consumers hold high expectations on the delivery of products such as the speed, accuracy and effectiveness. Previously buyers would find themselves at numerous stores looking for different products, but now with many distribution companies across the country, consumers can find what they want at one location like a grocery store or gas station. Because of this it is ever so important to maximize your distribution process.

Urbanization
As urbanization continues to grow at a steady pace throughout the world, there are many new challenges that industries are facing. Some of these include space constraints, high land costs, and “last mile delivery”, and more specifically delivery within the last 50 feet. The Beverage Distribution industry will need new ways of distribution to maximize profit and minimize costs.

Mass Personalization and the Growth of Ecommerce
Customers today are requesting a wide variety of drinks and flavors and combining them with new technology like e-commerce to make the buying process faster and easier. This means distributors will have more product and less time to deliver it to the right place.
-
Relentless Competition
With such a large industry, the amount of competition is also substantial and only growing. Beverage distribution companies are competing against regional and local businesses that are placing their products in the same spots as national brands. For example, small craft breweries get the same amount of store space as a larger known brand would.
One major challenge that beverage distributors are having is the last mile delivery process.It is the most expensive part of the delivery and takes the most amount of labor.This means it is very important to have the correct tools to get the job done efficiently and accurately, from the beginning to end. Raymond offers durability and performance you can count on to complete these tasks.
