Impact On Warehousing
Some companies prefer to have warehouses in every state of
the country to avoid local taxation while transporting from one
location to another.
With the implementation of GST, logistics companies can have
one central warehouse or can go for the warehouses at specific
locations or can adopt a hub and spoke model. This enables the
companies to achieve cost efficiency in their operations and thereby
transferring this cost benefit to the end consumer in the supply chain.
The disadvantage of this is that companies face difficulties during
route planning to deal with deliveries across a bigger geography.
