Show Photos and Avoid Retail Chargebacks | LoadProof

This is another interesting dynamic that we run into when we talk about LoadProof. We work with a lot of these small organizations like they have fifty people, hundred people with revenue around 20 million dollars, 50 million dollars, 20 billion dollars like that. This was an interesting scenario where these people were very much interested in LoadProof, but they were like “oh we ship to this retailer and they don’t even talk to us and they just automatically detect from our invoice”. We don’t know what to do right, so how we saw this is that organization liked your product so much, but somebody thought “hey this is a beautiful product, they looked at all your passion, they looked at your love and they looked at your care with which you make this amazing product, the beauty of the product.

Somebody in that organization fell in love with the product and they said I mean it’s usually a buyer right so they said “hey this is a great product, beautiful product and it would be great to be in our store and it’d be awesome to sell such a beautiful product to customers of ours. So my point is that these guys have been getting chargebacks from this retailer and they didn’t know what to do, how to do it. If you were brought down by that situation, what you do is, you can take pictures and show to people. When you see the website you can see how beautiful the product is. This entrepreneur basically started as a carpenter when he was in the 10th grade. He started as a carpenter and he started building some good products and then eventually he started building these amazing bathroom fixtures.

He’s selling it through this retailer and he left off a very sad voice in the middle saying that I have no idea what to do and this is what is happening. We automatically receive these invoices with chargebacks and we are losing a lot of money. When you look at the website it’s a beautiful product you can see the care that goes with making this amazing product so with your pictures you can show how, well you’re making such a nice product. You want to make sure that it gets delivered to the customer in the nicest way possible. There is a lot of attention and care that goes into packing and they do a beautiful packing. They start nicely in a pallet and then they nicely shrink wrap it, they add more packing material for the corners and then they fully cover this thing with a wooden board.

Optimize Your Warehouse Replenishments with these Best Practices | LoadProof

This best practice is about making replenishments inside the warehouse. It is important to stay on the top off replenishments always in your warehouse. If you have just one shift that you are running it would help a lot. If you spend extra hours in the evening and then do the topping off all your active locations it will be helpful for the pickers in the next shift. In the next morning when the pickers come after all the locations will be full and they can start picking right away without wasting time in replenishments. If you have two shifts running either choose the second shift or have a third shift if possible and keep doing the top off replenishments. There are active replenishment locations and these active locations have Min and Max. Whenever your inventory falls below min, replenishments are going to get triggered or it will get triggered if there is an order that needs a lot of picks from a particular location. This will drive the location down which will trigger a repleni

How to Eliminate Warehouse Chargebacks? | LoadProof

This is another interesting dynamic on LoadProof. The managers that we talked to, they hear about our product and “they’re like wow this is great, want to take advantage of this product in my distribution center or warehouse. They join the demo and one of the things we ask is how much is their chargeback . At the time they don’t know it’s just sometimes fascinating to see this dynamic. The organizations that have been operating all along they’re so siloed. They’ve so siloed and this warehouse manager, he’s operating a pretty good-sized facility. It was like 400K plus a squad for DC shipping, a lot of orders. This gentleman didn’t know about the chargebacks because it’s just that’s how they’ve been operating all along. The chargeback was something that was with the finance department, I mean obviously retailers when they pay the invoices they don’t pay the full invoice, they automatically take a portion of that because of these damages or this chargeback situation. It took awhile fo

How to Improve Quality in Supply Chain | LoadProof

I would think that electronics OEMs or distributors would be leading the charge toward quality, and I’m sure many of them are. However, the first time I encountered a quality department that did extensive quality control it was in a New Hampshire distribution center (DC) that served the apparel industry. For this manufacturer, the goal was to make fairly priced clothing that delivered good quality to middle-aged women. The Director of Quality at the warehouse, along with her team, did such a good job that this retailer was known for its quality. To meet their quality goals, workers spent a lot of time measuring the tops and pants against strict criteria, checking the cut of the pieces, figuring out how the pieces would look on real people, and making sure that the colors were good for a variety of skin tones. They thought of everything. They took pictures and shared infractions with their vendors across the supply chain. All DC’s follow quality processes. Typically, there are two typ
