Delivery & Receiving
For supply chain, store operations and loss prevention
The Profitect Delivery and Receiving (D&R) module analyzes receiving, transfers, and returns data to identify opportunities originating from the store’s back door interface to the DCs, suppliers, 3PL and other stores.
Benefits
- Shorten reaction time to order and receiving discrepancies and trace back to specific suppliers, drivers, distribution centers, or receiving personnel
- Maximize promotion execution by analyzing inventory availability at the store
- Minimize potential leakage by improving adherence to return handling and claim submission procedures
- Track KPIs to spot irregularities and patterns related to missing goods, damaged items, mishandling of claims, returns or recalls, suppliers or receiver error or fraud and non-compliance
- Improve service levels with key suppliers, carriers and receiving operations
- Optimize allocation of logistics personnel and technology to maximize receiving efficiency
- Enhance associates productivity by focusing on highlighted opportunities rather than data gathering and processing
