SUMARY “PRODUCT DISTRIBUTION: THE BASICS”

The author wants to express the importance of the means and modes of
transport according to the characteristics of the product in order to be able to bring
the clien tin optimal conditions taking into account factors such as time and costs.

Another aspect that must be taken into account are the characteristics
of the product such as perishables, if they are dangerous substances, if the
merchandise is valuable or expensive, the quantity of product that is required to be
shipped, which are the means of transportation that are They will use will depend on
the conditions that have been agreed with the client, likewise it is important to take
into account to insure the merchandise and be clear when negotiating what will be
the responsibility that the supplier and the client will assume.

The modes of transport are the highway: it is characterized by its flexibility,

however it is not friendly to the environment, since today companies that require
hiring a company are interested in aspects such as the environment, since their
policies are aimed at preserving the environment in many cases is a promise of sale
that sets them apart from the competition.

The railway, in comparison with the highway, is usually inflexible and

expensive, it is recommended when it is used for long journeys in which what is
transported goes from the point of origin to destination or in which it is not necessary
to use another mode of transport. This is the transport of coal. However,
there are countries in which this mode shows relevance and great
importance in the transport of merchandise due to the low costs.

The air is one of the fastest to travel long distances, but more expensive
because it involves payment of duties, and usually taxes must be paid, in addition to
the merchandise is measured per kg.

The maritime or river: compared to air transport, it is usually much

cheaper, although it has its limitations such as the availability of ports,
but it is very convenient for transporting bulk, solid merchandise and
containers, machinery, vehicles.

We could conclude that the means of transport used to carry out the shipment
will depend on the characteristics of the product and the conditions that have been
negotiated to choose the means of transport and the logistics platform that allows
for better negotiation
