RETAILER CHALLENGE: Can I run my direct-to-consumer, store, and wholesale distribution using the same facilities?

The Cushman & Wakefield Edge With extensive internal and leveraged partner-expertise in supply chain consulting, we can provide proper evaluation to assess status quo and develop improvements, and project management to deliver facilities, real estate, and MHE (material handling equipment) to execute the best strategy for each retailer.

The nature of running “case-pack” flow of goods in and out of legacy distribution centers requires a radically different technology and process than fulfilling individual orders.

It is rare for direct-to-consumer and bulk handling to be compatible, but for some types of goods and product flows, the facilities can be leveraged together.

RETAILER CHALLENGE: What is the advantage to integrating my retail and logistics real estate and operations?

The Cushman & Wakefield Edge Integration of Retail and Logistics expertise ensures optimal coordination and planning of these asset types for our clients. We are able to support improved alignment of historically siloed functions with the ability to shorten speed-to-market and improve costs changing a retailer’s supply chain through a strategic value proposition.

Demand planning and challenges to modern inventory planning are a whole new world today, different than just three years ago.

Having the right logistics real estate assets in the right locations is critically important.

The most innovative retail technology in-store and online, strongest brand image and equity are only as good as the performance of the supply chain that supports it.
