Distribution Model in HLL
As mentioned in one of my post - i mentioned about distrubution model of ITC. Now its time to tell you guys the model for the second biggest FMCG in India, HLL.
Starting with Factory, then to C&F and finally to the Distributors. In HLL they are called RS - Redistribution. For rural markets, the distributors are called Streamline RS.
Lets start with RS. They supply stock to Wholesalers, Retailers and IDC (Indirect Coverage). IDC is something like a RBD (Rural Brand Distributor) in ITC. Now in case of Rural Distributor (Streamline RS), they supply stock to Star Sellers (in different towns). The Star Sellers covers markets between 2 and 50 K. They are like SCPs (Stock Carrying Point) in ITC.
Apart from that, they also have Shakti in place (Women Empowerment and Selling).
