Good Faith Receiving
Incorrect stock deliveries account for millions of pounds in lost revenue for retailers each year. Ensuring deliveries are accurate has traditionally needed staff to check each and every incoming delivery against consignment notes. When inaccuracies are identified, it's often impossible to track exactly where in the supply chain these have happened.
Good Faith Receiving is being relied upon increasingly to overcome these issues. Sample stock checks are carried out at various points in the supply chain and data is extrapolated to give a true overall picture of stock accuracy over any given period. This gives the support both vendors and logistics companies need to improve accuracy of stock movements.
OCS Retail Support provides a comprehensive service for audit of deliveries at store and distribution centre locations. Our highly trained teams use handheld barcode technology to ensure a high degree of accuracy. If proven to represent reality, the sample data we provide reduces the need for every incoming delivery to be checked by store staff. Consignments can be accepted ‘in good faith' freeing valuable staff resources, reducing costs and speeding up the distribution process to the benefit of retailer and logistics provider alike.
