Hub
What does this term stand for?
In logistics, a hub is a central location, warehouse, or facility where goods are received, sorted, and redistributed to other destinations.

Goods may stay temporarily in a hub for sorting or consolidation before being dispatched to their final delivery points. Hubs improve efficiency, reduce transport costs, and enable better inventory management, particularly in large-scale or regional distribution systems.
