The supplied context also highlights customer self-service for ordering, EDI, tracking and invoice management. To avoid attributing facts from similarly named businesses, the analysis is scoped to this matching distribution context rather than unverified legal, parent-company or geographic claims.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"pb-lead\"\u003eDistribution economics depend on service reliability as well as cost-to-serve. Route sequencing, trailer cube utilization, temperature control, lot tracking and expiry management can all affect margin, claims and customer retention.
