Verified step by step guidance1
Understand the roles of different types of companies in the supply chain: Wholesalers, Retailers, Consumers, and Service companies.
Wholesalers typically act as intermediaries between manufacturers and retailers. They purchase goods in bulk from manufacturers and sell them to retailers.
Retailers sell goods directly to consumers, making them the final step in the supply chain before reaching the end user.
Consumers are the individuals or entities that purchase goods for personal use, not for resale.
Service companies provide intangible services rather than physical goods, and they are not typically involved in the manufacturing or retailing process.
