Heavy Pallets
& Fleet Strain

Transporting 2,400 lbs. pallets can strain trucks and pose safety risks due to potential pallet tipping.

Low Profit
Margins

Restrictive pricing in water distribution agreements often leads to low or negative profit margins, making this business unsustainable.

Unreliable
Supply Chain

National brands prioritizing big-box retailers reduce access for smaller distributors, disrupting the bottled water supply chain.

Backorders &
Delivery Delays

Water warehouses face constant backorders, and fluctuating production times cause inevitable delays, leading to dissatisfied customers and unfulfilled orders.

Limited
Warehouse Space

Distributors face inventory management challenges due to limited space and inefficiencies from the traditional hub-and-spoke model, which leads to double handling and reduced margins.

Spike in
Demand

Surges in consumer demand for bottled water, driven by seasonal trends or emergencies, strain supply chains and create inventory shortages, making it challenging to fulfill orders efficiently and consistently.

Stresses You Can’t Ignore

The Cost to Your Team and Customers

Water distribution chaos takes a toll not just on your bottom line, but on the people involved.

Stressed Employees

Constant backorders and last-minute changes create a chaotic work environment, leading to frustration and burnout among your staff.

Frustrated Customers

Customers expect reliable delivery, and when your competitors can fulfill their needs and you cannot, they’ll quickly take their business elsewhere.

Stress & Uncertainty

The endless cycle of delivery fire drills leads to a breakdown in morale, both for your employees and customers who are tired of the uncertainty.
