Inventory
Warehouse inventory trends watched weekly against what replenishment will pull.
Primary services / Supply chain management
Freight that costs what it should.
Shipments requested, inventory levels held, lanes kept open and freight factor pushed down, load by load.
An account can lose money between the factory and the DC.
Getting the freight there is not the same as getting it there for the right cost. We keep Walmart traffic informed of volume, keep lanes covered, and work the claimed shortages that quietly become deductions.
Part of the same account team, not a separate engagement. Everything below is included in the account management we already run.
- 01 Shipments requested and inventory levels held
- 02 Walmart traffic kept informed on volume requirements
- 03 Claimed PO shortages researched and disputed
- 04 Warehouse staff trained on Walmart procedures
What it covers.
The parts of supply chain management that take the time, and the ones an account quietly loses money on when nobody owns them.
Lanes
Shipping lanes kept adequate for the volume, before the volume arrives.
Freight factor
Load building and timing worked so freight is not paying for empty space.
Transfers and returns
Store merchandise transfers and returns managed rather than absorbed.
The other seven.
Suppliers rarely need one of these on its own. See them together on Primary Services, or read about account management.
