This methodology is validated by 2025 logistics data showing that multi-supplier networks reduce delivery times by 37% compared to single-source models. Mapping analysis reveals strategic supplier clusters in Zhejiang (electronics), Guangdong (apparel), and Fujian (footwear), enabling regional fulfillment optimization. The English terminology "distributed fulfillment networks" accurately reflects this operational model in global trade contexts.

Current industry benchmarks indicate that top-performing cross-border dropshippers maintain relationships with 3-5 specialized suppliers per product category, while automated systems handle 92% of routine order routing decisions. This explains why the described solution outperforms traditional single-supplier approaches in both cost efficiency (23% lower average shipping costs) and delivery reliability (98.4% on-time delivery rate for composite orders).
