In Southeast Asia, the question is not just whether you have a route to market. It is whether your route to market can actually move.
Distribution is not a channel decision. It is a strategic capability — one that requires design, investment, and continuous refinement.
The companies that treat distribution as a strategic function, not just a logistics problem, are the ones that build durable market positions. They invest in partner activation, channel enablement, and the systems that keep distribution moving.
