FAQs
Absolutely! Atlanta is the metro area with the lowest cost of doing business with the third most Fortune 500 companies headquartered in the region. Some of the more recent ones include BlackRock, Honeywell, and GE Digital. It’s also becoming a true banking hub. By 2040, the creation of nearly two million new jobs are predicted with Georgia ranking number one for workforce development.
The notion of a business hub neatly meshes with that of a transportation hub—and Atlanta clearly qualifies as one of those. The city has been connected to transportation since its inception in 1837, serving as the terminus of the Western & Atlantic Railroad. The Hartsfield-Jackson International Airport is the busiest, worldwide, with daily passenger flights, making it the ideal location for the thousand-plus international companies that conduct business in the metro area and the fifty-plus countries that maintain chambers of commerce, consulates, and trade offices in Atlanta.
These reasons, along with the highway system that facilitates efficient short and long-term trucking, are why we located our Atlanta warehouse to have direct access to the airport and downtown area. This 180,000-square-foot, Class A facility is only one of our 35-plus owned and operated assets.

Ecommerce distribution and fulfillment centers allow manufacturers and other businesses to outsource and streamline warehousing and distribution operations. These specialized facilities are managed by third parties who efficiently and accurately ship freight and reduce transportation costs. Top-quality providers, like NXTPoint Logistics, can handle even the most complex business models.
Although distribution centers can look like warehouses, key differences exist. Warehouses often store inventory for the long term while distribution centers are set up to efficiently fulfill bulk requests. They’re structured for rapid yet accurate pick-pack-ship activities, with visibility into real-time inventory levels, orders, shipments and more.
Although these words can be used interchangeably, there are subtle differences. They are both specialized types of warehouses containing inventory and run by third parties.
A fulfillment center is where orders are picked, packed, and shipped for businesses. Fulfillment centers need to be conveniently located to efficiently get orders to end customers. In other words, your ecommerce business would not manage warehouse inventory; instead, you would outsource it to the experts.
A distribution center, meanwhile, moves products in bulk — perhaps to another center or business.
While many centers are equipped and staffed to handle either warehousing or distribution, facilities like ours can handle both, serving each function within a state-of-the-art facility.
