FMCG/CPG Logistics

FMCG and CPG logistics excellence

Plan daily restocking across stores, distributors, and dark stores with capacity-aware routing, retailer-compliant delivery windows, multi-carrier dispatch, and real-time visibility β€” all in one platform.

The complete order-to-delivery system for FMCG/CPG enterprises

From distribution center to store shelf, distributor, and doorstep, Eastern orchestrates restocking, routing, multi-carrier dispatch, and real-time visibility in one platform β€” so high-frequency distribution stays compliant, efficient, and resilient through every demand cycle.

How order flow works

Every shipment moves through one orchestration layer β€” from distribution center to store shelf.

  • Order received

    Restock and DTC orders are captured from every channel into a single queue.

  • Capacity & route planned

    Routes are built against 250+ constraints β€” load type, time windows, and capacity.

  • Multi-carrier dispatch

    Orders are allocated across captive fleets and carriers by cost and delivery window.

  • In transit & tracked

    Every shipment is tracked across all miles with geofenced alerts on exceptions.

  • Delivered to store & DTC

    Deliveries land within retailer time windows to protect on-shelf availability.

  • Proof & resolution

    Verified proof-of-delivery is captured and on-ground exceptions are resolved fast.
