Hub
What does this term stand for?
In logistics, a hub is a central location, warehouse, or facility where goods are received, sorted, and redistributed to other destinations. Hubs are essential in supply chain networks as they consolidate shipments from multiple sources, streamline operations, and optimize transport routes. Goods may stay temporarily in a hub for sorting or consolidation before being dispatched to their final delivery points. Hubs improve efficiency, reduce transport costs, and enable better inventory management, particularly in large-scale or regional distribution systems.
