Retail Distribution Through Hot Shot Delivery
Tuesday, November 30th, 2010
Retail distribution is a complicated business. Companies that try to handle their own distribution to retail channels are often overwhelmed by the complexity of the operation and find that it is very difficult to keep costs down to a reasonable level. That is why using a Houston courier service with experience in distribution logistics is a solution worth considering. Hot Shot Delivery offers a wide array of delivery services to our clients in an effort to meet every company’s unique retail distribution needs.
The extensive list of services offered are precisely what make us a perfect choice for companies that are interested in setting up a complete system for retail distribution. We have a top of the line warehousing and distribution department. When producing goods in high volume, the cost of storage is often one of the most daunting expenses for a company. Due to the volume of storage space that we own, a Houston Warehousing Services Company like ours can make storage much more affordable.
Our logistics service can provide you with a complete solution for your retail distribution. If interested, you can ship bulk orders to Hot Shot’s warehouses. Our team can then sort the shipments and ship them out individually as you forward the orders. We also offer fulfillment services that can keep your retail channels stocked at all times while you concentrate your efforts on production.
The key to your success is putting effort and money into your area of expertise and your core competencies. The more time and financial resources you devote to product development and production, the more significant will be your growth. You can free up time and money by entrusting the distribution to your retail partner, Hot Shot Delivery; a company with years of experience in Houston Logistics Management.
Hot Shot also offers a number of services that can help supplement the distribution to your retail channels. For instance, if you have a last minute request come in for an extra shipment, Hot Shot offers Emergency Delivery Services. This means that you can simply place a call to our office and request that we make a pickup from your location and deliver the goods directly to your retail partner. This gives you the ability to maintain a regular retail distribution channel, while still being flexible enough to respond to emergency requests. This will build your reputation as a company that is worth doing business with, even though you’re relying on another company to carry the cargo for you.

The Last Mile Solution – It Tastes Good
Tuesday, May 26th, 2009
If you have ever had the pleasure of dining at a fine restaurant like the Palm or McCormick and Schmick’s, you may have wondered how they have such fresh seafood delivered that day for their special entrees of the evening. Now there are certainly many local food distribution companies, but I’m talking about the freshest lobsters, off the farm tomatoes and even beef. These restaurants have discovered the speed and effectiveness of using what is called the Last Mile Delivery option. Simply put, these restaurants can put the freshest food on their customers’ plates in a short amount of time because they ship this food “on-demand.”
Everyday in markets across the country my nationwide logistics company, Hot Shot Logistics, ensures that these restaurant owners are getting the most time to place the order and still get their food in time for the dinner rush that evening. We manage and coordinate the final delivery to their restaurant door.
Here is how it works: As a restaurant approaches a sell-out of a particular item, they simply place the order and within a few hours, it has been flown in at the peak of freshness and Hot Shot Logistics handles it from there. Or, suppose the chef hears of a recent catch that had an abundance of a particular type of fish. The chef has a great recipe that would compliment this fish. That morning, the order is placed, the fish is flown in and today’s special is printed on the menu as the fish are being unloaded. Talk about Fresh! The Last Mile Solution definitely tastes good.
Restaurant owners like this process because it keeps their product at it’s freshest, keeps them from wasting food due to over-ordering and can keep them from running an unprofitable special.
I use the restaurant business as an example, but this Last Mile Delivery option can be utilized by many businesses in multiple industries. Expedited shipping does not have to be more costly than overnight shipping. In fact, a faster supply chain often means more profit and more time for everyone.
If you want to get more information on how this process may work for you, feel free to contact me or leave a comment below and I’ll respond.
Until Next Time,
Eric
