With transportation accounting for 40 - 60% of your logistics expense, placing your warehouse(s) in the right place can save you 10 - 50% of your logistics expense.

Our sophisticated Centroid software builds a complex model that factors in your inbound and outbound shipping activity and weights them to calculate an optimal center (or centers) from which to distribute. This can be a single site or multiple sites, depending on your service and cost goals.

Unlike many models in the market place, we apply practical and realistic transportation and traffic data to calculate the best possible result. For example, it may not be practical to place a DC in a city with expensive shipping costs. Our centroid sites are determined by adjusting various transportation criteria such as ease of access to traffic lanes, freight balances in the lane, flexibility of carriers in the region and operating costs.

We work closely with major real estate companies to determine specific demographics in the region that are necessary in determining the optimal location for your distribution center(s).
