Increase supply chain velocity by reducing the inherent friction that typically exists especially when cross country borders are involved.

Move things faster and smarter and there will be fewer things sitting on shelves costine money while at the same time improving availability of those things when needed

Inventory eats capital for lunch!

Understand the contractual requirements for each site, then perform a network analysis to determine if centralized storage of items on site now is an option.
