Build an Agile, Lower-Cost
Distribution Network
From facility placement to warehouse operations, FlexChain designs and manages distribution networks that reduce cost, improve throughput, and scale with your business.
The Problem
Network Decisions Lock In 60-80% of Logistics Cost
- ✕ Facility locations chosen by history, not data
- ✕ Inventory spread across too many or too few nodes
- ✕ No clear cost-to-serve by channel, region, or customer
- ✕ Outbound shipping costs inflated by poor placement
FlexChain's Approach
Data-Driven Network + Distribution Design
- ✓ Model optimal facility count and placement against real shipment data
- ✓ Right-size inventory positioning across your distribution network
- ✓ Quantify true cost-to-serve across every lane, mode, and service level
- ✓ Connect warehouse ops to middle-mile and last-mile execution

Capabilities
Network & Distribution Services
DC Location Optimization
Model candidate locations against your customer geography, carrier rates, and service requirements. Know the cost impact of every location before you sign a lease.
Hub-and-Spoke Modeling
Design consolidation hub networks that minimize total freight cost. Cross-dock, zone-skip injection, and regional sort modeled against your actual volume.
3PL Selection & Management
RFP management, rate benchmarking, SLA definition, and ongoing performance monitoring for outsourced warehousing.
Multi-Node Flow Optimization
How should inventory flow between DCs, hubs, stores, and 3PLs? We model the complete flow to minimize total cost and meet SLAs.
Cross-Dock & Transload
Design and manage cross-dock operations that eliminate storage dwell time, accelerate throughput, and connect to outbound optimization.
Cost-to-Serve Analytics
Granular cost attribution by channel, customer, SKU, and facility. Know exactly where margin is made and lost.
Seasonal & Pop-Up Networks
Model temporary capacity for peak seasons or market tests. Design pop-up nodes that scale without long-term commitments.
International Expansion
