While the implementation of logistics and distribution centers within Asia will add a
complication to Inditex’s refined production process, both the company’s finances and business
model can support this type of expansion. Inditex’s success is predicated on proximity sourcing, and
as they seek a higher reliance on Asian markets, it makes sense to bring this same sort of proximity
to Asia. Inditex is currently very successful in its communication practices between stores and
headquarters, and adapting to include Asian corporate centers in this feedback and data loop seems
an attainable goal. The fact that through this process each individual store throughout the world
could potentially end up with different product offerings at the end of a season also makes the
opening of Asian logistics and distribution centers feasible. This tailored process gives stores
flexibility and avoids heavy dependence on broad, overarching decisions by management, allowing
multiple central locations to be successful.
