Start A Distribution Warehouse Business

A distribution warehouse business helps companies sell and fulfill their orders to customers. Focusing on the end of the supply chain, distribution warehouses pick and pack inventory and track the shipment until its delivery to the consumer.

To run a successful distribution warehouse business, you need inventory keeping skills, B2B e-Commerce skills, order management system, customer service skills.

Here are some real life success stories of starting a distribution warehouse business:

Case Study

Hi, I’m Alan Crowe, a native of Atlanta, and I launched a coworking space in 2020 called Room2work. If you have heard the term coworking, it's likely due to the woes of coworking behemoth WeWork, or you belong to a local shared office space.

Our revenue streams are also getting tested and refined. As of today, we’re generating $14K a month, but as coworking recovers from the pandemic, that number will level out at $20K to $22K/ month with one employee.
