Knowledge centre

From the short answer to the operating decision.

01

Start with the demand map

Compare orders, contribution margin and service promise for the UK, EU and other markets. A warehouse should follow meaningful demand rather than a country label.

02

Model the border between both stock positions

Moving goods between Great Britain and the EU can create customs, documentation, tax and lead-time work. These flows must be included in replenishment planning.

03

Test one base against split inventory

Two stock pools may improve local delivery but duplicate safety stock and increase reconciliation. Compare the total inventory and operating cost, not only parcel rates.

FAQ

Questions before you start.

Can one warehouse serve both the UK and EU?

It can dispatch to both, but customs, transit, returns and customer promise may make a second stock position commercially useful at sufficient volume.
