Say goodbye to your unsustainable red flag logistics providers. 

‍

And say hello to WARP’s sustainable green flag solutions.

‍

Pool distribution is one of our services that not only reduces operational costs but also promotes a more sustainable and eco-friendly supply chain.

‍

Pool distribution involves consolidating shipments from multiple suppliers into a single truckload, which is then transported to a hub and redistributed to nearby locations. This strategy minimizes long-haul trips and last-mile delivery distances, reducing pollution and enhancing overall transportation efficiency. Pool distribution typically involves scheduled regular deliveries to a distribution center or a central pooling location. This allows for more predictable and manageable appointment scheduling compared to the variability of coordinating with multiple carriers.

More green flag benefits from WARP’s pool distribution offering:

‍

✅ Cost Efficiency: Saves on transportation costs through economies of scale and reduced long-distance hauling.

‍

✅ End-to-End Live Tracking: WARP's cross-dock facilities feature advanced tracking software and hardware for real-time freight updates, eliminating manual updates and reducing errors. The driver app provides detailed insights into load status, and integrations with over 30 ELD platforms offer comprehensive driving data, optimizing fleet management. Unlike traditional providers, WARP offers continuous real-time location updates and ETAs throughout the shipment's journey, ensuring minute-by-minute visibility for shippers.

‍

✅ Minimized Handling Costs + Optimized Packaging: Bypassing traditionally congested hub-and-spoke networks can reduce the need for additional void fill or cushioning materials for sensitive shipments. Pool distribution minimizes the number of times a shipment needs to be handled during transit. Less handling means fewer chances for damage, which reduces the costs associated with product damage, returns, and claims.

‍

✅ Streamlined Appointment Scheduling: Stop wasting time scheduling appointments with multiple carriers at different times. With pool distribution, there are fewer delivery appointments to manage. Instead of coordinating with multiple LTL carriers for various delivery times, a shipper only needs to schedule appointments for the consolidated shipments. This reduces scheduling conflicts and streamlines the process. WARP takes routing into account after scheduling appointments to ensure freight gets to the right spot at the right times in the most efficient way.
