Today’s retail customer requires product to be in stock and at their doorstep faster than ever. What inventory strategy should be taken when adapting an existing, centralized supply chain network to one that includes multiple regional fulfillment centers? This JSC white paper discusses an effective approach for addressing the challenges of meeting inventory demands in a modern supply chain network utilizing the ‘Square Root Law’.

Excerpts from the White Paper are as follows:

“To be competitive in a modern sales environment, retailers must be agile in their ability to adapt to the needs of today’s customer. This means faster and cheaper shipping, as well as an excellent in-stock selection. Retailers must be hyperfocused on the location of their customers and how their regionality is changing and growing. The simple truth is that most retailers will need to locate inventory within a 2-day shipping radius, or less, to reach customer expectations."
