Cura Resource Group offers four free downloads: a Herbalife Nutrition case study, a last-mile white paper, a pick-up center guide and a big data ebook.
All four were published in 2017. They draw on Cura’s work building and running local sales and pick-up centers for direct-sales companies. That work is a form of contract logistics and sits alongside Cura’s warehousing and distribution services.

This white paper explains why direct sales companies add local pick-up centers in urban markets that are hard to deliver to. It covers shoppers’ demand for fast, free delivery and how local centers give distributors quick, in-person access to products.
This guide helps direct sellers and online sellers decide when and how to add a local pick-up center. It walks through setting goals, doing the math, comparing options, choosing a partner and preparing the team for launch.
Herbalife Nutrition began working with Cura Resource Group in 2008 to build, staff and operate local sales centers. The 2017 case study describes Herbalife as a $4.5 billion global nutrition company. At that time, Cura ran nine Herbalife sales centers in the US and Puerto Rico. The case study covers how Cura picks locations, signs leases and hires staff.
This ebook shows how retailers use data to improve the customer experience, manage inventory and plan distribution. It also covers data in the last mile and the role of people alongside the numbers.
The brochures page has downloadable PDFs on Cura’s custom solutions, retail and contract logistics, aviation providers and transit operations.
