Peak Performance From One Strategic Region

Many business leaders exercise a nationwide, multi-location warehousing model to optimize their supply chain management processes. However, according to *Harvard’s study on “The Square Root Law of Inventory Management: Why Less Is More”, a centralized inventory model creates the most cost-effective route to retail for manufacturers – delivering improved control by eliminating scattered inventory and redundant costs at multiple warehouses across the country.

With abrupt swings in consumer demand patterns and extreme disruption across the nation, there’s never been a more critical time to consider leveraging a centralized inventory strategy to stabilize your supply chain and control your costs.

Suppliers Benefit From:

Benefits of Centralized Warehousing

Cost Effective + National Coverage

By controlling inventory from one strategic region, suppliers avoid redundant processes and costs at multiple warehouses. Centralized warehousing and inventory control produce economies of scale throughout supply chain operations to decrease lead times, reduce safety stock needs, and improve scorecard performance and in-stocks at retail.

When partnering with an asset-based 3PL that owns its warehouses and trucking fleet, suppliers also benefit from preferred pricing and lower trucking rates. This results from concentration of high freight volumes to and from one region.

Reduced Cost + Increased Performance

When an asset-based 3PL manages both inbound and outbound transportation from a single location, suppliers have more control over every step of The Middle Mile and the visibility and agility needed to grow business. By controlling inventory from one strategic region, suppliers reduce overall operational costs, achieve a more consistent product flow to store shelves and improve scorecard performance levels to over 98% On-Time, 99% In-Full.
