Redistribution

Distributors face tough challenges, with product needs constantly in motion.  Often, shipments are not large enough to require a full truckload of goods, and less-than-truckload (LTL) quantities are inefficient to ship, draining resources. It’s especially true of low-volume SKUs that eat up valuable floor space and turn over infrequently.

Hub One steps in as a replenishment source. In our five mega-hubs, we receive full truckload orders of thousands of SKUs, and deliver LTL quantities to distributors on-demand in full truckloads. Distribution centers no longer need to stockpile inventory in anticipation of potential restaurant demand.

For distributors, the benefits of working with Hub One include:
	Fewer purchase orders and invoices
	Fewer shipments; less inventory
	Vendor and freight cost reduction
	Distribution Center cost reduction and capacity increase
	Lowered total system logistics costs/greater profits

Warehousing and System Storage

The first comment we usually hear when a customer visits one of our hubs is, “Wow, it’s so clean!” Because of the rigid quality demands placed on us by the customers we serve, we maintain our hubs at an exemplary level, scoring 98% on the most recent Silliker Distribution Center Audit. Hub One was a 2003, 2004 & 2005 winner. We’ve been a Distribution Center Audit Platinum Award winner three years running. Whether it’s dry goods, frozen or refrigerated, it’s simply a different experience than what you’re accustomed to.

For manufacturers, we offer a way to free up precious floor space while more profitably servicing your LTL customers. For distributors, we allow for “virtual storage” since we can deliver on-demand. Either way, it’s a boost to your bottom line.

Your Promotions Resource
Quick-serve restaurants like McDonald's have elevated toy promotions to an art form. Behind every kid’s smile is an enormous amount of logistical complexity with a very short window to exhaust inventory. Beginning with the moment a toy is produced overseas, Hub One works with vendors to control and coordinate shipping, customs, storage and security right up until a promotion begins. We then use our hub system to ensure inventory is onsite when needed. It’s more efficient for manufacturers because it reduces logistics and costs, and ensures supply is in place before the promotion begins.

If you’re a manufacturer involved in toy promotions, or a quick serve restaurant looking to add efficiency and surety of supply to your operations, Hub One should be on your team.
