The Center of Gravity Variety
We’ve always deeply valued user feedback, and it’s one of the key reasons we continually refine and enhance the Center of Gravity apps to ensure smarter and more efficient network design.
The Center of Gravity
It all started with the Center of Gravity app, which calculates weighted centers based on a single dimension: weight. Its optimization criteria focus on minimizing the ‘weight x distance’ metric for all customers, ensuring a highly efficient and balanced distribution strategy.
The Center of Gravity Plus
Building on the success of the original, the Center of Gravity Plus app was developed in response to user feedback, with many requesting more dimensions for calculation. The Center of Gravity Plus app calculates weighted centers using up to three dimensions: weight, volume, and revenue. Users can easily adjust the importance of each dimension through intuitive sliders, offering a flexible and tailored optimization experience.
Fixed Center of Gravity
Following user requests to consider existing centers in their calculations, we developed the Fixed Center of Gravity app. This tool calculates optimal center locations based on current distribution hubs, enabling businesses to assess and optimize their existing network. Its sensitivity analysis feature also helps uncover potential cost savings by identifying opportunities to relocate centers, if needed.
Advanced Center of Gravity
The Advanced Center of Gravity app is the latest addition to our portfolio, designed to meet the growing need for more complex network optimization. It calculates optimal center locations by considering service level requirements, multiple product categories, and both inbound and outbound flows, providing a comprehensive and highly efficient solution for businesses.
