 eGrocery Business Plan © BPlanExperts.com  Page 31 Transportation cost This includes the cost of moving the items from the warehouse to warehouse and warehouse to consumers. As seen from the diagram given below we have two slots for the transportation costs. The overall transportation cost is thirty one percent of the total capital estimation: Warehouse to warehouse It includes cost of moving the items from one warehouse to other. This will mainly occur when the cost of moving goods from distributor to warehouse is high than the cost of moving products among the warehouses. Example, when one consumer demand for any variety of products and it’s not available in the nearby warehouse, then we order the product from the nearby warehouse to avoid the high cost of ordering product from the distributor. Warehouse to customer This includes the cost of shipping the products from the warehouse to the customers. As shown in the graph we have warehouses in the areas where the demand is high and if some item will not be available in the nearby warehouse then we will ship that item from the next nearby warehouse. If the time slot is in 1 day or 2 day then we will ship the items directly from the distributors using the cross docking strategy.
