Choosing the right distribution and freight methods for your products is a key element of your supply chain process. Several factors will influence your decision, including cost, security and speed. Increasingly, a new model is being adopted by successful businesses. With 'sell-source-ship', you buy as little stock as possible. Instead, you source, ship and deliver a product on the promise date determined when the order was placed.

Sell-source-ship is replacing the more traditional distribution models. To date, distribution has centred more on the model of buy the products - hold them in a warehouse - sell on as ordered. There is now an emerging trend away from this model. With the new sell-source-ship model, a distributor buys as little stock as possible, choosing instead to quickly source, ship and deliver a product on the promise date determined when the order was taken. With our services at Akoma, we can help you move to take advantage of this new model.

Our services at Akoma are designed to help you move to take advantage of this new model. We focus our services on delivery by road and ship to efficiently move products to their point of delivery. When necessary, we will use third-party vehicles. Delivery times will vary with time of order and collection points, however, businesses using our warehouse services can expect deliveries to be made either the same day the order is placed or at the latest, the next day.
