As a majority of retail products are sourced in Asia and arrive at West Coast ports, mid-tier retailers who rely exclusively on centralized distribution centers may be incurring inefficiencies and limiting their growth. Routing all product to an East Coast or Midwest DC, only to bring a quarter of it back to the West Coast for store or direct fulfillment is adding unnecessary links to the supply chain.

Read this whitepaper to learn how, with the help of a 3PL, retailers and manufacturers can create a customized DC bypass strategy that is right for them and can support growth.
