Supply Chain
The retailer operates a sophisticated chain with four distribution centers located from coast-to-coast. The retailer utilizes a ship-to-mark-for or cross-dock strategy for its apparel and merchandise.
This approach ensures the delicate balance of maximizing in-store availability, while minimizing the inventory investment necessary to service the stores. The ability to flow merchandise from the vendor's docks through the retailer supply chain in a timely manner is critical to its success.
