Abstract
Systems, methods, and machine readable medium are provided for replenishing product in a freight tethering environment. A pick list is generated at a hub store including one or more items that need to be replenished at a spoke store. It is determined whether the pick list can be fulfilled by the hub store. If the pick list cannot be fulfilled by the hub store, then the one or more items on the pick list is aggregated to a direct-store-delivery from the distribution center. The replenishment need of the spoke store is communicated to a distribution center. Product is received from the distribution center based on the replenishment need, and the pick list for the spoke store is fulfilled by the distribution center.
