Distribution

Distribution and multi-drop delivery

Collection from one point and delivery to many addresses, organised by area and to delivery windows agreed in advance.

Distribution is not one large delivery but many small ones that all have to fit into a single day. The order of the stops, the receiving times at each destination and the ability to update in real time are what decide whether the day runs smoothly.

We build the route around your area and requirements. You can start with a one-off round and move to a fixed route if the volume justifies it.

Who this service is for

  • Suppliers distributing stock to shops or branches
  • Manufacturers and workshops delivering to business customers
  • Businesses needing regular distribution within a defined area
  • Companies running a launch or campaign that needs a broad one-off distribution
  • Anyone who would rather use one distribution provider than book individual deliveries

Situations we handle regularly

  • A fixed weekly round to a list of points across the centre of the country
  • Collection from one warehouse and delivery to dozens of addresses in a day
  • Deliveries with a defined time window per destination
  • Rounds requiring manual unloading at every stop
  • A one-off distribution for a launch or promotion

What the service can include

  • Collection from a single origin or several pickup points
  • Route construction by area and number of stops
  • Vehicle size matched to volume and shipment type
  • Adherence to delivery windows agreed in advance
  • Unloading at each point as required
  • A fixed route: daily, weekly or under agreement

How a distribution route is built

  1. Mapping

    We review the distribution area, the expected number of stops and the type of shipment.

  2. Setting frequency

    We decide whether this is a one-off, daily, weekly or on-call distribution.

  3. Window coordination

    We agree delivery windows, unloading requirements and the contacts at each endpoint.

  4. Pilot and routine

    We start with a first round, tune the route and move into a steady working pattern.

Frequently asked questions

Can we start with a one-off distribution?
Absolutely. Many customers start with a single round to test the fit and only then move to a fixed route.
What if the number of stops changes from week to week?
That is common in distribution. We define a typical range of stops and adjust the route to the list you send before each round.
Can you meet retail chain delivery windows?
When receiving windows are known in advance they are built into the route plan. It is important we receive them at the quote stage rather than on the day.
Do you price per stop?
The pricing structure depends on the area, the number of stops and the shipment type. We build a structure together that suits your volume.
