Unleash Efficiency: How a Finish Line Distribution Center Can Boost Your Athletic Retail Business

For athletic retailers, keeping pace with the ever-growing demand for the latest footwear and apparel requires a robust and efficient supply chain. A critical component of this chain is the distribution center, the central hub where inventory is stored, managed, and shipped to stores and customers.

The Challenge of Traditional Distribution Centers

According to a recent study by the National Retail Federation, inventory accuracy issues cost retailers an average of $468 billion annually [1]. Traditional distribution centers, often siloed and manual, struggle to keep up with the fast-paced world of athletic retail.
