Strategic Network Optimization
Network realignment in the face of global trade uncertainty.
A global wellness brand brought in SCPI to simplify its North American network amid escalating tariffs, rising freight costs, and gaps in delivery coverage.
The end results: a realigned sourcing and distribution footprint spanning manufacturing, assembly, and distribution that achieved improved tariff avoidance and cost reduction — backed by a dual-source framework and a clear roadmap for long-term supply chain resilience.
