Regional distribution networks serve geographically defined
markets. Design influences cost, speed, and reliability for
Indus Bazaar.

**Hub and Spoke:** Central warehouse feeds regional satellites
or cross-docks. Consolidation at hub; rapid local delivery.
Balances inventory cost with transit time.

**Direct Shipment:** Ship from central or multiple locations
directly to customers. Simpler structure. Higher transport
cost for distant customers. Suitable for less frequent,
larger orders.

**Pool Points:** Consolidate shipments at regional points for
LTL or parcel carriers. Reduces cost and improves service.
Requires coordination and timing.

**Market-Specific:** South Asian and diaspora networks may
have distinct routes, carriers, and customs considerations.
Align network design with trade flows and customer
concentration.
