How a 3-warehouse 3PL changes the math
Pomona is already the optimal Pro Fulfill origin for Arizona. Zone 3 from Pomona matches or beats both our other nodes. No zone savings left on the table here.
If you ship to other states with a different zone profile, a split-inventory strategy across two Pro Fulfill nodes could still reduce your blended shipping cost. Use the zone calculator to model your full order geography.
