West Coast NodeSparks, Nevada
Extend your Productiv network to the West Coast without a new 3PL contract. The Sparks node gives Dallas and Charlotte clients a West Coast presence — with full inventory visibility through Productiv's Extensiv WMS instance.
// SITE_MODEL
A partner site. Same visibility as a Productiv campus.
The Sparks facility is operated by a vetted partner, not by Productiv directly. But from your perspective, it functions like any Productiv location: Productiv manages the relationship, enforces performance standards, and owns the outcome on your behalf.
What makes this possible is the WMS. Productiv deploys its own Extensiv instance at the Sparks site. That means your inventory at this location appears in the same dashboard as your Charlotte and Dallas stock — same data model, same reporting, same order visibility. There's no reconciliation across systems.
This is a 4PL model: Productiv acts as the managing layer above the partner operator, handling all coordination, compliance, and client communication. You keep one relationship. The network expands.
// SITE_SPECS
// HOW_IT_WORKS
One network. One dashboard. West Coast covered.
Adding the Nevada node to your Productiv footprint doesn't add operational complexity — it reduces it.
Your inventory ships to Sparks, NV
The partner facility receives, checks in, and stores your product using the same intake standards as Charlotte and Dallas. No parallel process to manage.
You see everything in one place
Productiv's Extensiv WMS instance runs at the Sparks site. Your inventory, order status, and fulfillment activity are visible in the same dashboard as your other Productiv locations — no separate login, no reconciliation.
Orders route automatically
West Coast orders ship from Sparks. East and Central orders ship from Charlotte or Dallas. You set the rules once; the network executes.
Productiv manages the relationship
You have one point of contact: Productiv. We manage the partner facility, hold them to our performance standards, and own the outcome — same as any Productiv campus.
// WHEN_TO_EXPAND
When does a West Coast node make sense?
Most brands start with a single DC in Dallas — which covers 95% of the continental US within two-day ground. But as your West Coast volume grows, transit times and shipping costs on that last segment start to matter. The Sparks node is designed for exactly that inflection point.
- Your customer base is growing significantly on the West Coast (20%+ of orders)
- West Coast customers are consistently receiving 3-5 day transit times
- You're losing DTC customers to competitors with faster West Coast delivery
- Your single-DC shipping costs are creeping up as West Coast volume grows
- You want Costco, Target.com, or West Coast retail coverage without a new 3PL contract
// MULTI_DC_MODEL
The 2-DC or 3-DC footprint
Dallas alone: avg ground shipping zone 5.2 nationwide. Dallas + Nevada: West Coast drops to zone 2-3, reducing parcel costs significantly for that segment.
Add Charlotte and you have a full national 3-DC model — East, Central, West — with unified inventory visibility and one operational partner managing all three.
