Focus Distribution Tailored Services Model

Our Philosophy

We see ourselves as a facilitator, connecting Manufacturers/Suppliers with Foodservice and Route Customers. We are very conscious of and work hard to ensure that, the Customer Relationship is a positive one. We have an IT system which allows the Manufacturer/Supplier to own the Customer Relationship while Focus Distribution carries out the logistics. All is explained below.

Focus Distribution can provide the following either in part or as a total package. You can choose from just logistics through to a full-service option. The choice is yours.

  • National distribution with customised solutions.
  • National Sales Representation with customised sales solutions.
  • National Customer Support all aspects.

Logistics Options

  • Ex-Factory – we can arrange to have your product picked up at your door. In many cases, you may be able to access our good bulk freight rates.
  • Ex-Distribution Centres located in Christchurch, Napier, and Auckland. You would deliver in bulk to our DC’s. Full product management service is available.
  • Ex-Branch You would deliver FIS to our 12 regional branches all of whom have Owner Operated warehouses providing coverage from Whangarei to Dunedin. The branches will often take ownership of the product along with any shrinkage and damage.

Customer Services

  • Using our enterprise computer system, the customer can be billed with an invoice, which for all intents and purposes looks like the invoice of the Manufacturer/Supplier. IE Logo and address etc. Focus Distribution will then send an electronic data-file to the Manufacturer/Supplier so that they can import it into their accounting system thus taking ownership and control of the customer sales history and subsequent debtor management.
