Their main role is to purchase products in large quantities from producers and distribute them to various retailers, wholesalers, or direct clients. This helps streamline the supply chain, ensuring products reach the market efficiently and cost-effectively. Central Distributors often provide additional services such as inventory management, logistics, and marketing support to both suppliers and buyers.
