Innovation Stagnation in Supply Chains: Stop Reinventing the Wheel—Rethink How You’re Using It The call to innovate is louder than ever. With every new supply chain disruption—global unrest, port congestion, labor shortages, shifts in sourcing—companies are under pressure to “transform” their logistics strategy. But in this rush, many overlook a fundamental truth: innovation isn’t always about building something new. Sometimes, it’s about seeing what you already have from a different angle. At Averitt, we call this rethinking the wheel instead of reinventing it. One of the most overlooked opportunities in modern supply chain strategy is aligning where your inventory lands with where your customers are. If your inbound cargo is routed through the West Coast and railed to a central location like Oklahoma—but the majority of your customer base is in the Carolinas, Georgia, or Virginia—you may be spending far more on inland transportation than necessary. By shifting the inbound strategy to flow through East Coast ports like Savannah or Charleston , and staging inventory at warehouses , shippers can: • Reduce inland trucking miles by positioning product closer to end markets • Avoid detention and demurrage fees that often stack up at congested West Coast terminals • Gain faster access to inventory with more flexible outbound shipping • Adapt to demand shifts more fluidly across regional markets • Improve sustainability within your supply chain by reducing overall trucking miles It’s not about abandoning your infrastructure. It’s about realigning it to better match your market footprint . With the right partner, inventory can move directly from the port to a nearby transload or Distribution and Fulfillment Center , then out the door via asset-based truckload or LTL — streamlining the entire cycle and freeing up capital locked in inefficiency.
