New — Supply Chain Auditing
Do you need help with auditing your shipments from your warehouse or transit facility to your stores? Are stores complaining of discrepancies in what they receive versus what their bill of lading shows? Are you uncertain of the accuracy of vendor shipments? We can help! PICS Inventory can assist you with any of several supply chain auditing programs. Here are a few examples:
- PICS can provide trained auditors to audit your out-going shipments at the warehouse or transit facility. Detailed results of the audits can be saved and accuracy percentages reported down to the actual order picker level.
- PICS auditors can meet your warehouse truck at the store’s back door. Auditors can randomly audit pallets or the entire shipment.
- PICS can represent you at your vendor’s warehouse and audit their shipments to you.
- PICS can audit truck arrivals from your vendors at your warehouse or transit facility. These audits can help you establish a “certified vendor” program with your largest vendors. This program audits the accuracy of your vendor’s shipments and reports results on a regular basis. High accuracy rates of 99% and above may allow you to stop manually receiving every shipment, saving you labor hours. Your vendors will like it since you can pay their invoices quicker and with fewer disputes on what was received and what wasn’t. You will be able to pay whatever percentage of accuracy is measured. For instance, if their shipping accuracy is 99.52%, you pay 99.52% of the invoice!
- The same “vendor certification” program can be run at the store level for all DSD (Direct Store Deliveries). PICS auditors can meet vendor trucks at your store’s back door and conduct the required audits.
