The delivery gap01 / 05
For the D2C operator
Your product can be great. Your delivery experience can still lose the customer.
When an order travels around 2,000 km to reach Eastern India, delivery can take 7–9 days. That distance shows up in the customer experience—and in the economics of every shipment.
Your customer doesn't care where your warehouse is. They care when their order arrives.
Higher shipping cost
Long-distance fulfilment can increase the cost of each individual shipment as every order travels farther.
Lost customers
Customers may switch brands because of the delivery experience—not because your product is not good enough.
You shouldn't have to choose between fast delivery and healthy unit economics.

Use your own shipment profile
Compare shipping from your warehouse vs Logistra fulfilment.
Compare courier availability, returned delivery estimates, and fulfilment costs for the same shipment from two dispatch locations. Logistra is not assumed to be faster or cheaper.
With verified credentials, both scenarios use the same Shiprocket serviceability account: your entered pickup PIN for the current warehouse and the configured Logistra origin PIN for Logistra. If live credentials are unavailable, the calculator uses a temporary standard estimate for testing.
Commercial clarity06 / 09
Commercial clarity
Know the cost before you move your inventory.
Regional fulfilment should make commercial sense for your business. Before positioning inventory closer to customers, evaluate the complete fulfilment cost—not just the courier charge.
The actual cost depends on your products, dimensions, order profile, inventory requirements, destination mix, and selected services. Share your requirements with Logistra to discuss a suitable operating model and commercial estimate.
Commercial statusNo public rate card published
Commercials are assessed against your products, order profile, destination mix, and selected services.
Cost components to assessDiscuss the applicable scope
| Cost component | What drives it | Assessment |
|---|---|---|
| Receiving & handling | Inbound volume, SKU count, and receiving requirements. | Requirement-dependent |
| Storage | Inventory profile, space required, and time held. | Requirement-dependent |
| Picking & packing | Order profile, item handling, packaging, and value-added work. | Requirement-dependent |
| Outbound shipping | Destination mix, parcel profile, carrier, and service level. | Requirement-dependent |
| Returns & reverse logistics | Returns volume, inspection, restocking, and exception handling. | Requirement-dependent |
| Inventory transfer | The one-time or recurring move into the regional operation. | Assess separately |
| Optional services | Kitting, relabelling, inserts, custom packaging, or other agreed work. | Optional |
A useful comparison may include current long-distance shipping, inbound transportation, receiving, storage, pick-and-pack, outbound shipping, returns, inventory transfers, and other agreed operational costs. Shorter shipping distance does not automatically guarantee a lower total cost.

What happens next09 / 09
What happens next
A considered path from interest to operations.
The right regional model starts with your order profile and ends with an operating plan both sides understand.
- 01
Understand your business
Collect product information, order volumes, current inventory location, and customer geography.
- 02
Identify suitable products
Determine which SKUs may benefit from regional positioning based on demand and replenishment considerations.
- 03
Evaluate commercials
Review relevant storage, handling, shipping, transfer, and returns costs with the assumptions made explicit.
- 04
Agree on operations
Define inventory quantities, receiving, order handoffs, dispatch, returns, reporting, and responsibilities.
- 05
Plan the inventory move
Agree on inventory preparation, transportation, receiving, and readiness to process eligible orders.
- 06
Begin and review
Start according to the agreed plan and review actual fulfilment performance and costs.
Operational transparency
A clear process before a performance promise.
Logistra’s website uses process and illustrative examples rather than unverified operating statistics. In a commercial discussion, we can review the controls, responsibilities, assumptions, and evidence relevant to your operation.
01
Receiving & SKU identification
Inbound inventory is received, counted, scanned or identified, and recorded according to the agreed process.
02
Pick, pack & dispatch handoff
Orders move through an agreed fulfilment sequence before carrier handoff and tracking.
03
Returns & exceptions
Returned or exceptional shipments are routed to the agreed inspection, restock, quarantine, or communication step.
04
Evidence before claims
Any future performance metric should include its period, sample, order profile, origin, destination, and limitations.
Specific systems, integrations, reporting, service levels, and performance metrics should be confirmed for the proposed operating model.
Questions founders ask
Clear answers before a commercial conversation.
Every regional fulfilment model depends on the products, destinations, and operating responsibilities involved. Here is the practical starting point.
Discuss your requirementsWhat is shared fulfilment?+
Shared fulfilment is a model where multiple brands can use common fulfilment infrastructure and operational resources. Each brand’s inventory, SKUs, and orders remain identified and controlled within the agreed operating process.
Do brands share inventory?+
No. Shared infrastructure does not mean combining stock. Brand inventory and orders should remain appropriately identified and controlled; the exact operating controls are agreed during assessment.
Can I use Logistra alongside my existing warehouse?+
That can be assessed. Many regional models begin with selected fast-moving SKUs while a brand continues using its existing setup for other inventory or destinations.
Which products should I move to a regional facility?+
Usually the discussion starts with best-selling products, regional demand, product dimensions and weight, replenishment practicality, and the cost of moving or holding inventory. Suitability is business-specific.
Which locations can Logistra currently serve?+
Logistra is based in Patna, Bihar, with a focus on Eastern India. Actual serviceability and delivery timelines depend on facility and carrier availability, so share target states, cities, or pincodes for assessment.
How is fulfilment pricing determined?+
Pricing depends on receiving, storage, handling, pick-and-pack, packaging, outbound shipping, returns, inventory transfers, optional services, and your order and product profile. Request a commercial estimate for your requirements.
How should I compare total fulfilment costs?+
Compare current long-distance shipping with the full proposed model, including inbound transfer, receiving, storage, pick-and-pack, outbound shipping, returns, and other agreed costs. Shorter outbound distance alone is not the full calculation.
How do my orders reach Logistra?+
The order handoff process should be agreed during assessment based on your channels, systems, and operating requirements. Do not assume a particular integration is available until it is confirmed.
How are returns handled?+
Returns can be received, inspected, classified, restocked, repacked, quarantined, or escalated according to the agreed workflow and product requirements.
How much inventory should I position regionally?+
That depends on regional demand, replenishment lead time, product profile, storage requirements, and the level of service you want to support. Logistra can assess the operating assumptions with you.
What information is required for a quotation?+
Useful inputs include product type, size and weight, monthly orders, current inventory location, customer geography, best-selling SKUs, storage and replenishment needs, and any required order-transfer process.
How do I get started?+
Partner with Logistra through the enquiry form. Share your business and fulfilment requirements, then discuss suitability, commercials, responsibilities, inventory planning, and the first operating step.
