  10. DSD Industry Issues & Drivers • Industry analysts estimate that half of the top 10 packaged foods at retail today are delivered by DSD • Many DSD categories are among the highest revenue and margin performers • DSD is becoming increasingly critical to maintaining high sales levels in the industry • Trends expected to continue as consumer demand for "fresh" requires increased speed of product from manufacturer to retailer shelf • DSD presents a unique supply chain challenge • Extremely high turns drive a high frequency of deliveries and merchandising services calls to individual stores • Extremely high impulse buying makes forecasting difficult • Large number of invoices and other in-store transactions

  11. Why Direct Store Delivery? • Manage and maintain store shelf inventory • Interface with store mgt & consumers multiple times/week • Move product to market faster • Lower costs for yourself and your retail partners • Provide a competitive speed edge against the retailer’s own logistics services • Facilitate more effective promotions • Provide better package integrity & product safety • Effectively compete against growing % of store brands • Sense & react faster to customer demand changes “The Last Mile is the Hardest”
