We core-sampled 10 of ~18 plants and DCs, The 10 audited NA distribution and production sites are the core sample of Constellation's ~18 current NA production and import-distribution facilities feeding the Corona and Modelo network.
Network size: Constellation Brands FY2025 Form 10-K, Item 1 Business (fiscal year ended Feb 28, 2025): 12 US wineries + 4 US distilleries + 2 Mexican breweries (Nava, Obregon). https://www.sec.gov/Archives/edgar/data/0000016918/000001691825000022/stz-20250228.htm (2025-02-28)
Public audit. Not affiliated with Constellation Brands. Data from satellite imagery + public records.
Click any site for its gate, docks, and drop yards. No badge, no NDA, just what a driver sees.
Your TMS runs the road. Your WMS runs the building. The yards are the tier between them, and they were never on the network.
Every truck gets re-keyed, re-queued, and re-found at each step. The lost time lives between the steps, which is why no single tool ever fixed it. The audit below is that gap, measured on your real yards.
A real audited site, played gate→dock→exit on the true yard geometry. Switch sites with the picker.
Driver rolls past the gate, looks for instructions on where to drop.
Movement durations are honest floors set by yard geometry; the uplift lands on the wait fields (queue + dispatch + secondary checkpoints). “Today” timings reflect the radios-and-clipboards world; “With YardFlow” reflects the protocol acting end-to-end. We may be wrong about parts of this, your actual numbers will tell us where.
Read from satellite + Street View across all 10 facilities. At a comparable network, Primo Brands cut drop-and-hook turns from ~48 to ~24 min. Set your real volumes and margins in the calculator to put a number on it.
Three patterns held across the sites we sampled. None of them show up on a facility list. All of them change how the yard runs.
The beer DCs are pure import-distribution. Mexican beer flows into Texas and California, then fans out.
Jurupa Valley CA is 71 acres of beverage cross-dock. Largest single-site beer DC on the West Coast.
Wilmer TX runs 64 docks. Dallas I-45 is the Mexican beer pipeline.
This audit is the evidence. The model is the math. Open the calculator seeded with Constellation Brands’s audited yards, set your real volumes and margins, and it sizes the opportunity to the dollar.
This deep-dive is the evidence behind the /for/constellation-brands memo.
