Downstreaming

Downstreaming refers to the process of transferring or disseminating data, products, or services from a central source to various end users or consumer channels downstream in a supply chain or information flow. In this context, “downstream” typically indicates the later stages in a process where information or goods are delivered to the final consumers or clients. This concept can apply across various industries, including technology, supply chain management, and business processes, where it is essential to facilitate the flow and accessibility of resources or information. Downstreaming can involve several activities, including distribution, communication, and feedback mechanisms that enhance the efficiency and effectiveness of reaching end-users.
