• Inventory accuracy and cycle-count discipline to avoid stockouts.
• Transit-time analysis and carrier lane coverage for target markets.
• Robust WMS/API integration for real-time visibility and order routing.
• Service-level flexibility, returns handling, and scalable labor options.

Better highway connectivity and higher carrier density reduce empty-mile rates and drayage costs, shorten transit times to ports and border crossings, and enable predictable scheduling. Those factors lower landed cost, improve on-time performance, and allow use of LTL consolidation or frequent parcel shipments to match demand profiles.

• Racked storage and selective slotting for mix-intensive SKUs.
• Cross-dock and bulk breakbulk capacity for fast-turn product.
• Pick-pack, kitting, and light assembly to support customized orders.
• Customs-facing or documentation assistance for cross-border shipments.

Model zone-based shipping costs and transit times, run SKU-level demand and holding-cost analysis, pilot a small assortment to measure cycle times and labor productivity, and compare contract SLAs and billing structures to calculate true cost-to-serve before committing to a larger footprint.
