As a logistics pro, an important KPI to know is your Average Shipping Zone 💡 Zones range from 1-8 and a larger distance covered = a higher zone number. If your average shipping zone is over 5… It’s indicative of an inefficient distribution network. If you find yourself in this situation, you have options to consider: ➡️ Add a new distribution center ➡️ Incorporate a 3PL ➡️ Zone-skip through an LTL service  ➡️ Find a carrier that offers discounts on high zones There’s no right answer - it all depends on your unique profile & operation.
