Exploring the Role of Distribution: PCVA Gets Its Products to Customers

Picture this: you’re at a store and feeling a bit thirsty, so you head over to one of the fridges and grab your favorite Pepsi product – easy! But have you ever considered how that product gets to the store, and all of the logistics that go on behind the scenes? We’re here to tell you all about it.

So, how exactly do we get our products to our customers?

The process includes the following important elements:

  • Sales team sells the product to consumers

  • Production makes and bottles the product

  • The quality lab ensures that the product is up to Pepsi-quality standards before shipping

  • The loading team takes the finished product and loads it onto delivery trucks

  • Delivery drivers deliver the product to the stores

Once the driver reaches the destination, they are responsible for unloading the products and bringing them to the store. The product is then either stocked on shelves, placed in coolers and refrigerators or built into a display. While it may seem simple, there are a lot of ins and outs to this process to ensure our customers are happy and satisfied with our product.

Once produced, they are shipped to us to then distributed throughout Central Virginia.
