Why should you care about changes in the outdated auto glass industry supply chain? Here's why new ways of purchasing and distribution will be a game changer for auto glass shops: Enhanced Accessibility: The hub and spoke model simplifies logistics, making it easier for shops to receive supplies faster and more efficiently. Say goodbye to long wait times and hello to getting what you need, when you need it. Reduced Costs: By streamlining the distribution process, this model cuts down on overhead costs. Lower costs at the distribution level mean more competitive pricing for auto glass shops — savings that can be passed on to consumers. Improved Inventory Management: With central hubs maintaining larger inventories and spokes distributing them locally, shops can manage their inventory better and reduce the risk of stock-outs. Faster Service Delivery: The proximity of distribution spokes to auto glass shops means quicker order fulfillment, enabling shops to complete installations faster and increase customer satisfaction. Supporting Local Businesses: This model can empower local businesses by ensuring they have constant access to necessary supplies without the bottleneck of centralized distribution. 🔊 Don't miss out on this insightful discussion on why the hub and spoke model is not just the future, but the much-needed present for the auto glass industry. Perfect for auto glass shop owners looking to understand the benefits of shifting to this new model and how it can help them better serve their customers. __________________________________________________ This podcast is hosted by Gary Hart, Executive Director of the Independent Glass Association and founder/inventor of eDirectGlass.
