A distribution center is a specialized logistics facility where goods are received from suppliers, temporarily stored, and then redistributed to retailers, wholesalers, or directly to consumers. Unlike traditional warehouses, distribution centers are focused on rapid movement of products rather than long-term storage.
A major retail chain operates regional distribution centers that receive products from manufacturers and then ship them to individual stores based on real-time sales data and inventory levels.

While warehouses focus primarily on long-term storage, distribution centers prioritize fast receipt, sorting, and shipment of goods to various destinations.
Technologies like Warehouse Management Systems (WMS), barcode/RFID scanning, automated picking systems, and real-time inventory tracking are commonly used.
Distribution centers are often placed near major markets or transportation hubs to minimize shipping times and transportation costs, improving service levels.
