Unified Logistics for
Omni-Channel Retail
FlexChain enables retailers to synchronize inventory, shipping, and fulfillment across every channel, reducing costs, improving speed, and delivering seamless customer experiences.
The Challenge
Siloed Channels, Fragmented Logistics
- ✗ Online, in-store, DTC, and wholesale each run separate fulfillment with different carriers, different SLAs, and no shared visibility
- ✗ Duplicated inventory across warehouses and stores, with no cross-channel positioning strategy
- ✗ Inefficient routing and split shipments that inflate cost without improving speed
- ✗ No unified view of total logistics cost, with margin erosion hidden across channels
FlexChain for Retail
One Engine, Every Channel
- ✓ Unified optimization across all channels: DCs, stores, 3PLs, and carriers modeled as one network
- ✓ Consolidation and routing strategies that minimize total cost while meeting every SLA
- ✓ Data-driven fulfillment decisions: ship from store vs. DC based on real cost and service tradeoffs
- ✓ Full cost-to-serve attribution by channel, customer segment, and SKU
Capabilities
Highlighted Service Offerings
Cross-Channel Inventory Optimization
Unified view of inventory across warehouses, stores, and 3PLs. Position stock where demand is, not where it's convenient. Reduce split shipments and improve fulfillment speed.
Ship-from-Store & BOPIS Logistics
Optimize last-mile fulfillment from retail locations. Model the cost and service tradeoff of store fulfillment vs. DC fulfillment for every order.
Middle Mile Freight Optimization
Reduce inter-facility transfer costs by 20–60%. Consolidate DC-to-store replenishment into multi-stop routes. Build milk runs that maximize trailer utilization.
Returns & Reverse Logistics
Streamline returns across all channels. Consolidate reverse flows, reduce processing time, and get product back into sellable inventory faster.
Demand-Driven Replenishment
Automated replenishment signals linked to sell-through data. Replace static reorder points with dynamic triggers tied to actual demand velocity.
Cost-to-Serve by Channel
Full attribution of logistics cost per channel, customer segment, and SKU. Know which channels are profitable and which are eroding margin.
Retail Logistics Challenges We Solve
DC-to-Store Consolidation
Multi-stop milk runs that cluster nearby stores into full truckloads. Increase trailer utilization from 40% to 78%+.
Ecommerce vs. Retail Freight Split
Unified optimization across both channels. Stop double-shipping to the same regions from different DCs.
Seasonal Demand Variability
Model peak season scenarios against carrier capacity and inventory positions. Pre-book lanes and pre-position stock.
Multi-DC Network Complexity
Network design that optimizes total cost across all DCs, 3PLs, and store locations. Data-driven, not gut-driven.
