Inventory Management for the Retail Supply Chain

RJW’s inventory management model is designed for CPG brands that need national reach without the inefficiency of fragmented warehousing. Through strategically located operations across Illinois, Texas, California, and Pennsylvania, RJW helps suppliers place inventory closer to demand, reduce unnecessary touches, and create a more agile retail supply chain.

With 15.5 million square feet across 22 warehouses, RJW combines physical scale with data-driven decision-making to determine the most effective location strategy for each customer. That approach supports lower transportation costs, shorter lead times, and more reliable execution from coast to coast.

Centralized Inventory. National Reach. Stronger Execution. 

Managing inventory across too many locations creates unnecessary complexity, higher overhead, slower response times, and less control. RJW’s inventory management strategy is built to solve that problem for CPG suppliers through a more centralized, cost-effective operating model.



By aligning warehousing, transportation, labor, and analytics inside one integrated network, RJW helps suppliers create a more consistent flow of product to retailer shelves while improving service performance and reducing redundant cost. The result is better visibility, faster delivery, improved in-stocks, and stronger support for long-term growth.

Advantages of RJW’s Inventory Management Model
