"Beyond the traditional wholesale model, we see great development in the "direct to consumer" model. Data shows a growth in demand for D2C products, especially coffee, cosmetics,  nappies, perfumes, personal care, pet food, and vitamins, minerals, & supplements. This implies that FMCG companies must consider refreshing their legacy logistics network to cope with this new consumer demand."

Frequently asked questions

FMCG logistics is the transport, storage, distribution, and management of consumer-packaged goods throughout the supply chain. Consumer-packaged goods are typically products that are sold rapidly and at a low cost. These products include packaged food, beverages, toiletries, personal care products, cleaning products, and similar. FMCG logistics services specialize in getting these goods to customers in a fast and efficient way, while maximizing quality and choice. 

In a fast-paced market like FMCG, it can be difficult to meet demand and delight customers. Some of the main logistics challenges include:

 

  • Providing a high-quality of logistics services and products across different channels and marketplaces
  • Maintaining enough inventory to manage consumer demand, especially during peak seasons or promotions
  • Staying compliant with stringent regulations, particularly in the food and beverage industry
  • Making decisions based on visibility into product flows, inventories, and order fulfillment
  • Integrating systems and data between clients and logistics providers

Some of the KPIs that you should track when it comes to fast-moving customer goods logistics are:

  • Delivered On-Time & In-Full 
  • On-Shelf Availability
  • Supply Chain Costs
  • Carrying Cost of Inventory
  • Average Time to Sell
  • Out-of-Stock Rate 

FMCG logistics can be optimized by choosing the right third-party logistics (3PL) provider. For the best results, outsource your supply chain management, warehousing and distribution, inventory management, order fulfillment, and delivery optimization to a 3PL like GEODIS.
