Every year the same weeks fill up: Ramadan and Eid, back to school, the national day, white Friday. Companies that plan a few weeks ahead get the trucks; the rest wait.

- Agree pickup windows at your warehouse.
- Confirm who to call on the busiest days.
Move stock closer to customers
Sending stock to a warehouse near your biggest cities before the rush shortens every delivery that follows.
A plan that is roughly right in September beats a perfect one in December.
