Warehousing and distribution services for food, beverage and FMCG brands across Australia. From our warehouse floor to your retailer’s distribution centre, store dock or customer door.
Pakval’s distribution services move your product from storage to its next destination, whether that’s a major retailer’s distribution centre, an individual store, or a direct customer delivery. We plan the route, book the transport, manage retailer compliance and confirm the delivery, all from the same operation that holds your stock.
For FMCG brands, distribution is where supply chain decisions get tested. A missed delivery window means a rejected pallet. A broken cold chain means damaged product. We treat delivery as the final step in the warehousing operation. We don’t treat it as a handoff to a separate provider.
That’s the operational difference between Pakval and most 3PL distribution companies in Australia. Your warehousing, repacking and delivery run from the same facility, under one team, with one set of records.
Distribution starts the moment an order is received and ends when proof of delivery comes back into the system.
Orders flow from your ordering platform or ours into the warehouse management system. Our team picks, packs and stages the order against the dispatch schedule. Transport is selected based on the destination type, delivery window and product requirements.
The dispatch order leaves the warehouse, the delivery is tracked, and proof of delivery is captured and returned to your system.
For multi-temperature product, the carrier and route are selected to maintain the cold chain from dispatch to delivery. For retailer deliveries, the documentation and pallet configuration are checked against the receiver’s requirements before the vehicle leaves the yard.
Delivery into major retailer and wholesaler distribution centres.
We work to the receiving standards of the major Australian retailers. The dispatch process is built around their requirements.
Direct-to-store delivery for FMCG products, including the smaller-format and non-DC delivery channels that some retailers and independents require.
Direct-to-store delivery has its own pattern. Tight windows, smaller drops, manual unloads. We schedule carriers and routes to suit, so your product arrives when the store can receive it.
End-customer delivery for brands selling direct or fulfilling B2B orders outside the retail channel.
Whether the recipient is a hospitality buyer, a food service operator or a direct consumer, the same dispatch discipline applies: confirmed window, confirmed delivery, confirmed receipt.
Cold chain protection in transit, not just in storage.
For frozen and chilled FMCG, the warehouse cold chain is only as good as the truck that follows it. We extend the same temperature discipline through to delivery.
Pakval distributes from four facilities across Melbourne, Sydney, Brisbane and Adelaide. From those four distribution centres, we cover the major population corridors directly and reach regional locations through a network of contracted 3PL transport partners.
Route planning is built around stock positioning. If your product is held in two or more of our facilities, dispatch can be split or routed from the closest stocking point to reduce transit time and freight cost. As your retail footprint grows or shifts, we adjust the network behind the scenes.
For brands that previously managed their own carrier mix, the 3PL distribution model removes the work of comparing rates, chasing freight bookings and reconciling delivery records across multiple providers. One contact, one report, one invoice.
Our distribution services don’t run in isolation. They’re the dispatch end of a warehousing and repacking operation that all happens under one roof. Stock moves from the warehouse, through repack if it needs to, onto the carrier and out the door. With the same QA records and the same accountability throughout.
For brands using Pakval for multiple services, the warehouse delivery flow is one continuous process rather than three separate jobs handed between providers. Removing the gaps where things typically go wrong.
If you need distribution services built into your warehousing rather than bolted on, we’d like to hear what you’re working with. Tell us about your retailers, your delivery windows and your current pain points.
