My product is hand sanitizer.

I have choose this product because of current demand of sanitizer


around Covid-19. Many metropolitan areas are facing a problem of shortage of hand sanitize

Warehouse 1: Union City, GA 30291 Warehouse 2: Harrisburg, PA 17112 Warehouse 3: Schertz,


TX 78154 The network is ideal for the current economic situation as there is a huge demand for
hand sanitizer in metropolitan areas. We would need warehouses to be situated in close proximity,
to these areas so that time, money and resources are not wasted in transporting the product to its
destination.

All times stated in this table are in days.

The warehouses are situates in close to metropolitan areas. This minimizes transportation time and
cost. Customers would anxiously await sanitizer to be delivered quickly to their homes. Fuel prices
are currently low due to the Covid-19 outbreak, but these will rise sharply lock down period is a little
at ease and it helps to have warehouses situated as close as possible to the consumer.
