Distribution concepts
The right distribution concept sets service level and cost for years.
Logio designs DC roles, flows, and calendars that match customer promise, product mix, and growth.
Use it to decide DC types, x‑dock roles, and FTL/LTL balance.

Case studies
We tackled many supply chain challenges
Distribution strategy scenarios for Plzeňský Prazdroj
Logio modelled the existing distribution network of Plzeňský Prazdroj and prepared several future distribution scenarios, each with a feasibility study and KPI impact assessment. This provided a fact based basis to choose a strategy that improves competitiveness and manages up to 80 percent of logistics costs while reducing the risk of multimillion crown mistakes.
Distribution route optimization for Jednota Coop Jindřichův Hradec
Logio helped Jednota Coop Jindřichův Hradec redesign its distribution routes for more than 145 stores, cutting logistics costs by 15 percent and reducing the fleet from six to five vehicles without compromising service.
Distribution strategy for donated ready meals
Logio helped Save the Food design an efficient distribution strategy for donating ready meals from canteens. A reusable scenario model supports a published guide on food donation and prevents hundreds of thousands of crowns worth of lunches from ending up as waste each month.
Logistics strategy for Bonavita
We validated Bonavita’s warehouse plan, built a 10‑year logistics strategy, and recommended export outsourcing instead of new construction, improving flexibility and reducing long‑term risk.
Distribution planning for a vaccine network
A long‑term partnership moved vaccine distribution from manual planning to a robust routing and territory modeling setup, enabling quick responses to policy changes and strict handling conditions.
Carrier cost and network simulation for Elektrowin
Logio delivered a carrier cost model and network simulation for Elektrowin, validating toll impacts and arming the team with negotiation‑ready savings scenarios.
Design distribution that keeps promises
If service level and cost vary by luck, redesign the concept.
