What is a just-in-time delivery?

Just-in-time delivery (JIT) is a logistics strategy that ensures goods are delivered exactly when they are needed – not earlier or later – to reduce inventory holding costs and improve supply chain efficiency.

Just-in-time delivery in eCommerce

While traditionally used in manufacturing, just-in-time concepts are increasingly relevant in eCommerce for industries like FMCG, healthcare, or food. It allows for lean inventory management and faster replenishment cycles. With everstox, brands can coordinate stock movements and shipping through real-time inventory data and warehouse automation – enabling near just-in-time deliveries across Europe.

Example for just-in-time delivery

A food brand receives daily replenishment from a local fulfillment center via everstox – based on real-time consumption data and forecasted demand, without overstocking or delays.
