Dinis Guarda interviews Bottler Distribution Group CEO Andy Weinstein in this new interview series for citiesabc. Both experts go through major challenges in the #SupplyChainIndustry and how to improve the communication between industries and #sustainability.
BDG Founder Andy Weinstein understands distribution. A working member of a third generation Pepsi / Dr Pepper Bottler in the Pacific NW, Andy is intimately involved with the operating networks that affect his family business. He has a lifelong familiarity with the business dynamics of the industry—an industry that delivers physical goods, day in and day out, across America.
Andy is witness to a sea change in the distribution industry, that is why he founded BDG. Delivery disruption, aka the Amazon Effect, and changing consumer preferences have rocked mainstream distribution. In response to rapidly changing retail and distribution ecosystems, legacy beverage distribution companies have responded by doing more of what they know, optimizing their beverage lines and cutting costs by cutting employees. But with year-on-year declines in carbonated soft drink volumes and competition from highly efficient logistics and delivery operations, most beverage distributors continue to feel the threat to margins and concern over the implications to future business.
