How Inventory Placement and Order Routing Work in a Multi-Warehouse Network
Choosing the Right Warehouse Locations
Effective multi-warehouse fulfillment starts with data. Order history by SKU and destination zip code reveals where demand is strongest and which locations will deliver the best balance of cost and speed.
In some cases, adding a single additional facility delivers meaningful improvements. In others, a combination of strategically placed warehouses creates better national coverage.
How Orders Are Routed Automatically
The best fulfillment networks don’t require sellers to manually manage locations. Inventory visibility across all facilities allows the system to automatically route each order to the most efficient warehouse based on customer location.
At Sweetwater Logistics, orders are routed to the warehouse closest to the customer, while returns are typically processed through Charlotte, unless a different setup makes more sense for the client.
Fulfillment That Works Without Oversight
Technology-driven order routing removes complexity from multi-warehouse fulfillment. Sellers gain speed, accuracy, and control, without managing logistics themselves.
