Motor Carrier Capacity
Carriers are managing their capacity tighter
now than ever before
 Find ways to reduce loading times at origin to
not delay drivers
 We want you to ship throughout the month &
not wait until the end of the last week of every
month
 Pickups will be delayed if we do not find a
way to spread them out

Analyze total order cycle time in order to improve
merchandise flow

margins
We want to get Merchandise to the Sales Floor as Early as
possible to get a “Leg Up” on the Competition!

Helpful Hints
 Don’t change the UPC once the order is placed
 If anything is wrong with a PO, Contact your Buyer
Immediately
 Don’t accept PO changes unless you receive an EDI PO
Change (860)
 Sync start-ship dates for non-replenishment orders
 Is there a better day to receive replenishment orders?
 If you receive PO’s for goods that are no longer available communicate with your Buyer so they can Remove OP OL
 Combine PO’s - by receiving DC (Corp PO’s) or by dept/MIC
(brands)
 Can you process PO’s throughout the day?
 Do you mark with retail price?

Vendor Marking Retail Decreases “Touches” in the DC Process &
Increases Speed to Market!
