How to Find the Right Distribution Company

How to Find the Right Distribution CompanyWhat should you look for in a warehousing and transportation company? This question makes all the difference when it comes to hiring the right company for you and your needs. There are many companies to choose from and it’s important to do your research and ensure the company you’re considering is above average.
 
Technology: When you work with a company that has the latest and greatest warehousing and distribution technologies at its disposal, you get advantages such as real-time updates 24 hours a day and stress-free modifications when your needs change.

A strong commitment to operational excellence: If you’re looking into a distribution company and find that their own in-house operations are not up to par, the handling of your goods will probably not be anything to rave about, either. Find a company that has a strong foundation with their own in-house operations and you have probably found yourself a company that will genuinely care about your operations, as well.

Dedicated customer service representatives: You want to hire a professional, top of the line company and good customer service is a major piece! Find a company whose people will treat you with respect, address any issues or concerns in a timely manner and follow up with you every step of the way. Just a quick call or email letting you know that someone is on top of your requests can make all the difference and set your mind at ease.

At PSS Distribution Services, we believe it’s important to ask questions and obtain as much information as possible before contracting with a warehousing and distribution company. If a company you’re currently working with or considering is lacking, it may be time to look elsewhere.
