Distribution of Chemicals: Making Supply Chains Possible
Retail operations rely on an efficient supply chain to function smoothly to ensure everything runs as it should, which also includes distribution of chemicals. Chemical distribution plays a critical role in maintaining year-round operations, ensuring a reliable supply of essential chemicals. Customers like ours address logistics challenges, especially during peak seasons like the winter holidays, which requires meticulous preparation in advance.
From the consumer perspective, the retail calendar sometimes seems to move at a breakneck pace. But when you pull back the curtain, you start to see the logistics issues involved in keeping the whole thing going.
At All Chemical, we’re the ones managing the distribution of chemicals that’s needed to make everything else possible: keeping the lights on, the stores’ climate controlled and stocked, and the supply chain moving smoothly.
And the only way to do that is to always be thinking ahead.
Why Chemical Distribution Matters
Bet you never considered chemical distribution as one of the logistics issues involved in preparing for holidays! But it’s true: the fluid logistics industry is a key player in making holidays possible. At All Chem, we count it as an honor to perform the crucial work of transport that is the foundation for all the merry-making enjoyed during these times—not to mention keeping the supply chain intact all year long!
For a store to function, you may need the following:
- Chemicals for running, maintaining, and cleaning the store’s HVAC system.
- Bulk cleaning supplies available for regular use and to uphold public health and safety.
- Chemicals involved in any refrigeration systems (in supermarkets, for example).
You could think of the distribution of these chemicals as the cornerstone: that crucial piece without which a foundation cannot stand. And of course, without a solid foundation, the structure itself will fall. Reliable and safe chemical distribution is a must!
Though holidays year-round place demand on supply chains, the biggest by far are the winter holidays, from Thanksgiving to New Year’s. As anyone who’s worked retail could tell you, shopping spikes to surprising levels during those months, and companies have to prepare for that expected surge far in advance. The same goes for trucking companies like ours. We plan the routes and loads our customers need at any time of year, and especially when there’s an uptick in need.
