Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Direct Store Delivery (DSD) is a distribution strategy where suppliers deliver products directly to retail stores, bypassing the retailer's distribution center or warehouse. This can eliminate the need for the retailer to use its own warehouses for storing the goods before they are put on the shelves.
