distribution hub
Logistics routing point
A distribution hub is a central facility where goods are received, sorted, and shipped outward to multiple destinations.
Logistics companies, retailers, and delivery services use distribution hubs to consolidate shipments and route them efficiently: Amazon built a new distribution hub outside the city.
The term extends to any central point in a network where things collect before dispersing—an airport serving as a distribution hub for passengers, or a website functioning as a distribution hub for information.
