A distribution center is a specialized facility where products are received, stored, and then shipped out to retailers, wholesalers, or directly to customers. These centers play a critical role in the supply chain by efficiently managing inventory and ensuring timely delivery. Distribution centers often use advanced technology and logistics systems to process large volumes of goods quickly and accurately.
