Definition & Explanation

Unlike forecast-driven push systems, pull logistics for fresh goods activates procurement and distribution only when actual orders or real-time consumption signals arrive. For perishable products such as fresh produce, meat, or dairy, this is less a theoretical model than a practical requirement: delivery cycles often run under 48 hours, keeping excess inventory and spoilage to a minimum. Suppliers must maintain closely aligned production capacity and direct data connections with retail partners to make this work reliably.
