Resumen “Product distribution: the basics”

In this text we are given a brief, but very complete description of the types ofgoods
transport that exist today, and that always as exporters we will have tointeract with
them and that the way to choose the means as we will transportThe goods must be
balanced between time and cost, also taking into accountthe nature of our
merchandise. Another factor to take into account is the economic resources that the
companypossesses: In general, land transport is a cheaper and more flexible,
however, ithas greater geographic restrictions and can be affected by the state of
roadsand traffic. Air transport is faster and allows greater coverage, but is
considerably moreexpensive and subject to greater restrictions on cargo.Meanwhile,
maritime transport allows a greater variety of products to transportand has a lower
cost than air. As we see, there are many transportation options for companies. It is
onlynecessary to consider the needs, resources and objectives of the company
inorder the choose the most convenient alternative.Road transport is cheap
comfortable and flexible but the disadvantage is noteco-friendly, and may be subject
to weight, dimensions of load and occasionallyto long delays.
