What do you mean by pre-warehouse?

Pre-warehouse is a warehouse allocation mode.

Definition of pre-warehouse: each of its stores is a small and medium-sized warehouse and distribution center, so that the central warehouse of the headquarters only needs to supply the stores, covering the last mile. After the consumer places an order, the goods are shipped from a nearby retail store instead of a warehouse far away in the suburbs. This is an important prerequisite to support its delivery within 30 minutes within 3 kilometers of the store.

The advantages of the pre-warehouse mode mainly include the following aspects:

1, timeliness. The front warehouse mode can make the delivery of the store more timely. After the consumer places an order, it is delivered from the nearest warehouse, that is, an additional retail store, which can be delivered to the customer in a short time.

2. Cold chain fresh delivery is fast and low cost. Pre-warehouse mode refers to a small storage unit close to consumers, so it is generally set nearby. Therefore, whether it is the order response speed or the delivery cost, the pre-warehouse mode has great advantages.
