Selling from a single warehouse in Delhi means a buyer in Chennai waits 5–7 days. Storing 20% of your inventory in Bengaluru cuts that to 2 days. Multi-warehouse is the highest-impact operations upgrade for brands above ₹50 lakh annual revenue.
When to Go Multi-Warehouse
- More than 200 daily orders
- Significant sales from more than one region
- Average transit time above 4 days to major cities
- Shipping costs above 8% of revenue
Zone Strategy for India
India's logistics network divides naturally into 4 zones. Start with 2 warehouses (North + South), then add West. North warehouse serves Delhi, UP, Rajasthan, Haryana, Punjab. South serves Karnataka, Tamil Nadu, Andhra, Kerala. West serves Maharashtra, Gujarat, Goa.
Stock Allocation by Zone
Analyze 90 days of orders by delivery state. Allocate stock proportionally: if 35% of orders go to North, keep 35% of A-item inventory there. Rebalance quarterly based on actual sales data.
LetBuyy Multi-Location
LetBuyy's inventory module supports unlimited warehouse locations. Fulfillment routing automatically picks the nearest warehouse to the delivery address, with fallback to next-nearest if out of stock.
Inter-Warehouse Transfers
When one zone runs low, transfer from another. Track inter-warehouse transfers as inventory movements — not sales — to keep your stock counts accurate. LetBuyy generates transfer orders and updates both warehouse inventories in real time.
