Retail
Deliveries into distribution centres and stores, following each retailer’s booking procedure.
Retail
Retail networks have their own goods-in procedures and their own booking systems. A delivery without a booking, or outside its window, is refused and comes back at your cost. Serving retail is above all procedural discipline: knowing each consignee’s requirements and meeting the booking deadlines.
Typical requirements
- Bookings made to each retailer’s own procedure
- Multi-drop deliveries within a single run
- Proof of receipt from every delivery point
- Handling of returns and returnable packaging
How we meet them
- Bookings handled by the forwarding desk
- Runs planned around consignee time windows
- Proof of receipt collected and passed back
- Pallet and returnable packaging accounting
