How to Build Supply Chain Routes

Building supply chain routes is the fastest way to search for industrial properties across Europe. Instead of checking cities one by one, you search your entire network at once.

Here's how it works and why it saves so much time.

What Are Supply Chain Routes?

A supply chain route is a collection of cities or locations that matter to your business. Think of it as your property search network.

Example routes:

• UK to Germany corridor (London, Rotterdam, Hamburg, Berlin)
• Mediterranean logistics hub (Barcelona, Marseille, Genoa, Naples)
• Central European distribution (Prague, Warsaw, Berlin, Munich)

Each route covers multiple cities. IndiFind searches all of them simultaneously.

The Time Savings

Before route building:

• Search London: 30 minutes
• Search Rotterdam: 30 minutes
• Search Hamburg: 30 minutes
• Search Berlin: 30 minutes
• Total: 2 hours per search

With route building:

• Build route once: 2 minutes
• Search all cities: 2 minutes
• Total: 4 minutes per search

Monthly savings: 15 hours → 2 hours (87% reduction)

How to Build Your First Route

Building a route takes 2 minutes:

Step 1: Access the Route Builder

1. Sign up for free at IndiFind
2. Go to your dashboard
3. Click "Build Route" or visit Routes

Step 2: Click Cities on the Map

The interactive map shows all available cities. Click each city you want to include in your route.

Tips:

• Start with your most important locations
• Include cities along your supply chain corridor
• Consider future expansion cities
• You can always add or remove cities later

Step 3: Save Your Route

Once you've selected your cities, give your route a name and save it. Examples:

• "UK-Germany Corridor"
• "Mediterranean Hub"
• "Central Europe Distribution"

That's it. Your route is ready.

Using Your Routes

Once built, your routes work automatically:

1. Set your preferences (property type, size, budget, etc.)
2. Enable alerts (instant or daily digest)
3. IndiFind searches all cities in your route simultaneously
4. Get notified when properties match

You don't need to search manually anymore. Properties come to you.

Strategic Route Planning

Think about your supply chain strategically:

Coverage Gaps

Use the map to identify coverage gaps. If you have warehouses in London and Berlin, but nothing in between, add cities along that corridor.

Expansion Planning

Build routes for future expansion. Even if you're not ready to lease now, having routes set up means you'll see opportunities first.

Market Intelligence

Routes help you understand market coverage. See where properties are concentrated. Identify underserved areas.

Multiple Routes

You can build multiple routes for different purposes:

• Primary routes: Your current supply chain
• Expansion routes: Future growth markets
• Backup routes: Alternative locations
• Regional routes: Country-specific searches

Each route searches independently. You get alerts for all of them.

Route Optimization Tips

Start simple:

• Build your first route with 3-5 cities
• Test it for a week
• Add more cities as needed

Name clearly:

• Use descriptive names
• Include region or purpose
• Example: "UK Distribution - Primary"

Review regularly:

• Remove cities you no longer need
• Add new strategic locations
• Update based on business changes
