The traditional product fulfillment triangle between the supplier, your warehouse and the customer has evolved in the past decade into a highly complex, fast-moving and ever-changing arena. Even if we exclude the added options of third-party fulfillment and direct shipping from supplier to customer, more traditional warehouse fulfillment remains a complex area to manage within the overall logistical network. It only makes sense to look closely at freight costs and fulfillment times when considering a new or expanded West Coast location.
Our graphic clearly indicates the basic freight options to channel products from supplier to the end users through your facility. The importance of being strategically located is obvious. However, just as important is the availability and redundancy of local resources to support the types of freight needs you have today – and the ones you may have in the future.
Other critical factors include:
The area’s growth
The ability of the local community to support that growth
The perception of the area as a viable location for freight carrier growth
The current availability of warehouse space now
The projected availability of warehouse space in the future
The type of warehouse product available and its suitability for your company’s growth
