Built with the vision of delivering the needs and wants of consumers across the country, the 70,000-square meter SM Distribution Center started from a small warehouse in Echague, Manila.
SM Retail vice president Tim Gohoc, who is also managing the SM Distribution Center, said that “it is through a collaboration with MSMEs, customers and logistics partners that we aspire to create a seamless and eco-friendly supply chain network that minimizes environmental impact while maximizing operational efficiency.”
“Initially, we would deliver our products directly to the branches, however, as SM quickly expanded, our logistics posed some difficulty as we had to deliver to multiple branches which are very far from our factory. We were glad that SM offered the DC services so we could deliver our items hassle free,” said Ong.
