What does Secondary distribution mean in logistics?
Short answer
Movement of goods from depots or distributors to retailers or end customers, typically in smaller vehicles with several drops per trip.
In Indian FMCG, secondary delivery is often run by distributors with their own small vehicles. Costs per case are much higher than primary, and delivery windows are short. Ask our desk how this applies to your consignment.
