Solutions: Central Hub/Last Mile Depot

Central Hub/Last Mile Depot

The Centre of Your Distribution Strategy

Central Hub/Last Mile Depot is a goods distribution model that serves as a central distribution node. This node acts as a logistics hub, optimising a company’s transportation flow and minimising distribution costs.

The Central Hub/Last Mile Depot model helps optimise distribution to reduce your shipping costs

By centralising the storage and transportation of inventory in a central facility from which goods are distributed to multiple regional warehouses when required, the Central Hub/Last Mile Depot model optimises truck loading and thus, transportation, as orders are consolidated and dispatched with routes optimised to decrease shipping costs.

  • Achieve faster delivery speeds and cost efficiencies
  • Save time and increase your bottom line
  • Enable two-day, one-day, and even same-day delivery
  • Provide a superior customer experience
  • Efficiently allocate staff and resources to meet increasing order volumes
  • Reduce emissions and achieve sustainability goals

Client Success Case Study

Meeting explosive e-Commerce growth with a highly-automated DC built for faster fulfilment

Sport Chek was experiencing explosive e-Commerce growth that the existing DC was not designed to support, hindering the ability to service customers efficiently. They used ship-from-store to fill orders, but that drove up fulfilment costs. They partnered with FORTNA to design and build a new highly automated DC that allowed them to merge distribution for their various brands, increase fulfilment capacity, reduce store replenishment times and reduce fulfilment costs.
