Forward Stocking

Forward stocking is a proven way to drive global logistics—empowering you to provide faster service to a broader area while actually carrying less inventory. The challenge is knowing where to place your forward stocking locations (FSLs) to optimize your network. That’s where the expertise of MNX comes in.

Using advanced predictive modeling, we’ll identify precisely where you should locate your inventory to meet SLA demands. Our study will recommend which FSLs to open, close or relocate. A total cost benefit analysis will factor in such variables as the type of contracts your FSLs must support, drive times and replenishment costs. We’ll also create a rolling, 13-week future demand analysis—using predictive planning data—to adjust and ensure the model continues to anticipate and serve your needs.

Any logistics provider can provide an FSL. At MNX, we’ll develop an FSL strategy to maximize your success.

The MNX Way

  • The right part in the right place at the right time: MNX has a network of more than 700 forward FSLs on six continents, with over 1,000 agents and partners leveraging 20,000+ couriers.
  • Time critical access across America: There are over 220 FSLs in the United States alone—with 4-hour SLA coverage to 100% of the contiguous U.S. and 2-hour SLA coverage to 98% of the population. Gain access to your inventory 24/7/365.
  • Fast pull times: Just 30 minutes during business hours and one hour afterwards.
  • Consistency everywhere you look: All sites are governed by a single Statement of Work and use the same technology, providing 100% real-time visibility into your forward stocked inventory.
