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.
