Distribution Centre Services, or DCS, refer to the activities and processes that take place within a warehouse or distribution centre. These services are responsible for receiving, storing, handling and shipping freight from one location to another. Central to DCS is inventory control, which tracks the movement of goods throughout the supply chain process. Other aspects of DCS include packing, ordering and receipting systems, packaging materials, storage space management and freight forwarding. By offering customers timely delivery of products—at an affordable cost—Distribution Centre Services play an essential role in ensuring successful business operations.
