Product arrives inside the DC's window. Documented. No chargeback.
Any warehouse can keep a box cold. The money is lost at the receiving door: a missed appointment, a short ASN, a lot code that doesn't match the paperwork. This operation is built around that door.
- Delivery appointments
- Every outbound load is scheduled against the DC's receiving window before it leaves the dock. The appointment number rides on the bill of lading.On the load: the appointment number and window travel on the bill of lading.
- OTIF
- Loads are built and dispatched to land on time and in full. A late load and a short load cost you the same chargeback, so both are treated as failures here, not at your retailer's deduction desk.Scored by: your retailer's vendor scorecard, delivery by delivery.
- ASN and EDI
- Advance ship notices and EDI transmission: TK. Whether notices originate from this warehouse or from your team is being confirmed and will be stated here plainly.On the wire: an 856 advance ship notice tells the DC what is on the truck before it arrives.
- Lot codes and rotation
- Every pallet is received against a lot code and rotated FIFO or FEFO, whichever your retailer's routing guide calls for.On the record: lot code and receipt date against every pallet position.
- Temperature record
- Zone temperatures are logged by TK. The record is available for any load on request.On request: the zone log for the days your product was in the building.
- Recall traceability
- Lot-level trace from receipt to the DC door. If a lot is pulled, you know which pallets, which loads, and which docks.On request: pallets, loads, and docks for any lot, from receipt to the DC door.
- Lumper coordination
- Unloading and lumper fees at the DC are coordinated ahead of the appointment, so the driver isn't negotiating at the door.On the receipt: the lumper fee is agreed before the appointment, not at the door.
- Routing guide compliance
- Retail routing guide handling: TK.Checked against: pallet height, label placement, and the appointment rules in the guide.
