Expanding your business across Nigeria requires more than just great products—it demands a well-structured distribution network that ensures timely delivery, stock availability, and regional coverage. Whether you’re a local manufacturer or a foreign brand entering the Nigerian market, setting up a smart logistics backbone is essential for long-term success.

At Travo.ng, we support companies in planning and executing reliable distribution networks with integrated storage, transportation, and delivery solutions.


What Is a Distribution Network?

A distribution network is the system that connects your products to your end customers—through warehouses, regional hubs, transport routes, and retail or eCommerce channels. In Nigeria, this typically includes:

  • 🏬 Central warehouse or import point
  • 🚛 Intra-state and inter-state transport
  • 🏪 Regional stock points or distributors
  • 📦 Last-mile delivery to stores or homes

Key Steps to Setting Up a Distribution Network in Nigeria

1. Define Target Markets

Start by identifying your customer base and service zones. Lagos, Abuja, Port Harcourt, Onitsha, and Kano are top commercial hubs with high demand.

2. Choose Central and Regional Warehouses

Select warehouse locations based on proximity to suppliers, customers, and transportation hubs. Use a mix of:

  • Central distribution centers
  • Bonded warehouses (for imports)
  • Regional fulfillment hubs

3. Plan Transportation Routes

Map out reliable road, sea, or air freight routes to move goods efficiently between regions. Account for traffic, fuel costs, and seasonal access challenges.

4. Select Logistics and Delivery Partners

Partner with vetted logistics providers for bulk transport, last-mile delivery, and inventory handling. Outsourcing to 3PLs like those on Travo.ng can save time and cost.

5. Integrate Inventory Management Systems

Use technology to track goods across locations, manage stock levels, and coordinate delivery schedules.
