ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. – Rhythm Healthcare will consolidate its distribution center in St. Petersburg, Fla., into its existing operations in Memphis, Tenn.
The company says operating two distribution centers in the Southeast resulted in unnecessary costs and led to challenges in maintaining consistent inventory levels.
“By centralizing our distribution operations in Memphis, we can streamline processes, improve efficiency and eliminate duplicate costs,” the company stated in an email to customers.
As a result of the consolidation, Rhythm says customers can also expect more consistent fill rates on orders, leading to improved service. It says shipping times to some parts of Florida may see a slight delay, but “the overall benefits outweigh this change.”
The company, which also has expanded operations in Corona, Calif., expects to complete the consolidation by Sept. 1.
“We are committed to making this transition as seamless as possible for you,” the company stated. “We have meticulously planned the relocation to minimize disruptions. Our dedicated team will work diligently to ensure your orders continue to be processed efficiently and delivered promptly.”
