The Colography Supply Chain Competitiveness Index™ ranks U.S. states based on the structural factors driving long-term supply chain and parcel logistics performance.
Understanding the Colography Supply Chain Competitiveness Index™
The Colography Supply Chain Competitiveness Index™ (CSCCI) is a first-of-its-kind framework designed to measure the structural competitiveness of every U.S. state for supply chain and parcel logistics.
Unlike traditional rankings that focus primarily on freight or package volume, the CSCCI evaluates the underlying characteristics that enable long-term logistics success. It measures whether a state has the infrastructure, transportation networks, market reach, business environment, and delivery capabilities necessary to support resilient and cost-effective supply chains.
By combining proprietary parcel market intelligence with infrastructure and economic data, the CSCCI provides an objective view of where supply chain advantages truly exist.
What The CSCCI Measures
Every state is evaluated across ten dimensions that collectively influence supply chain performance.
Among the dimensions are:
- Distribution Power
- Population Reach
- Business Density
- Transportation Networks
- Infrastructure
- Gateway Advantage
- Growth Momentum
- Cost-to-Serve Delivery
- Workforce & Capacity
- Network Resiliency
Each dimension contributes to a composite competitiveness score, producing an overall state ranking that reflects long-term structural strength rather than short-term market activity.
