Market fit before placement
When San Francisco belongs in the operating plan
A Bay Area node can support Northern California demand and access to regional air and port infrastructure, but it should be selected only when the total operating model justifies the inventory placement.
Bay Area inbound planning
Coordinate appointment requirements, receiving data, carton preparation, and handoff timing from airport or port flows.
Catalog-specific handling
Confirm storage, kitting, inspection, serial or lot controls, and packaging requirements before launch.
Multi-node readiness
Compare a Northern California node with Southern California or national inventory placement using the same SKU and order data.
