Pre-warehouse is a warehouse allocation model, and each store is a small and medium-sized warehouse allocation center, so that the central warehouse of the headquarters only needs to supply 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. Simply put, the front warehouse is near the consumer, which may be an office building or a small warehouse in the community. Users place an order and it can be delivered to your door within 1-2 hours.

Advantages of pre-warehouse mode

Pre-warehouse is not simply to split big warehouse into small warehouses and then deliver them. This is pure e-commerce thinking. From another point of view, the model of pre-warehouse is essentially carrying more than 2000 SKUs of more than 10 fresh categories, with an area of 200 -300 square meters. In terms of area, this is the area of convenience stores, and in terms of coverage categories and customer groups, this is also the customer base and coverage capacity of large and medium-sized lifestyle supermarkets.

So in a word, the pre-warehouse is to use the low-cost model of small stores to expand the category breadth and service depth of large stores.
