Distribution & Logistics

Through a partnership with NDC, manufacturers can consolidate thousands of small purchase orders into one single order and shipment to significantly reduce your operating costs and make your supply chain leaner.

With a state-of-the-art central distribution center located in Tennessee, and additional satellite warehouses across the United States, NDC’s distribution network can reach more than 90 percent of the continental United States within two business days.

Delivering to over 1,200 distribution points every week, our distribution footprint enables efficient and streamlined logistics for manufacturers, so you can focus on what you do best – manufacturing products that transform the healthcare industry.

Vendor Programs

Manufacturers that warehouse products with NDC have the ability to ship product in full truckloads to NDC. We take that shipment and break it down into less-than-truckload (LTL) or parcel shipments. It’s a simple and powerful way to reduce your handling costs and improve your margins. Our programs are fully customizable to your needs.

Our vendor direct partners benefit through:

  • Ease of access to new markets
  • Increased market exposure
  • Expansion of sales footprint

In addition to the above, our warehouse partners also benefit through:

  • Reduced operational costs
  • Mitigated credit risk
  • Lower transactional costs

Our distributor optimization programs are fully customized and highly sophisticated to meet our manufacturers’ specific needs. In addition to all of the benefits above, our optimization partners benefit from:

  • Customer service programs
  • Distribution solutions
  • Streamlined financial management
  • Real-time business intelligence

Low Unit of Measure Fulfillment

NDC is able to streamline distribution for low unit of measure and end-user fulfillment situations, allowing distributors within our network to grow their product offerings without having to increase inventory, allowing both the distributor and the manufacturer to grow business and improve service.
