What is a Composite Distribution Center (CDC)?

A Composite Distribution Center (CDC) serves the purpose of both a warehouse as well as a distribution center. It is usually located closer to the customer. The cargo is consolidated at CDC before shipping it to the customers. The packages are grouped as per the destination resulting in faster deliveries and higher customer satisfaction. A CDC also reduces the need for multiple vehicles going into and out of the city, thus reducing costs and improving efficiency.
