Start with real orders and total delivered cost. A warehouse count alone does not tell you whether a network fits your inventory, service needs or working capital.
Use representative order data
- Origin and destination postal codes or regions.
- Package weight and dimensions, case/pallet quantities and service level.
- Order frequency, seasonality and delivery requirements.
- Current carrier, surcharges, handling and stock-holding costs.
Compare the tradeoffs
| Network choice | Benefit to examine | Cost or risk to examine |
|---|---|---|
| One operating base | Stock concentration and simpler reconciliation. | Transit and service options by destination. |
| Additional locations | Potential proximity to a customer cluster. | Split stock, replenishment and extra overhead. |
| Different carrier services | A service matched to the shipment. | Transit assumptions, surcharges and exceptions. |
| Batch or freight routing | Suitable consolidated movements. | Scheduling, minimums and additional handling. |
These are general network choices, not a statement that FlexHub operates multiple warehouses or a delivery fleet.
Keep the comparison consistent
Use the same destination mix and parcel profile in each scenario. Include the cost of holding and moving stock between locations and the effect on sellable availability. Compare promised delivery service with actual carrier assumptions rather than a generic coverage map.
