THE MODERN RETAIL ECONOMY

New Distribution Challenges M-Commerce Empowerment

THE EDI ASN HAS MATERIAL VALUE TO RETAILER

For every 5% improvement in on-time delivery & fill rates, retailers can reduce operating inventories levels

by over 2%. This is measured using EDI ASNs and physical carton audits. It’s enforced by chargebacks.

- CPFR Committee Co-Chair

WHY IS THE ASN SO RELEVANT?• Massive trends in retail distribution

– With spending down and costs up, retailers are forced to look inward to save money

– Retailers are updating their DCs to enable auto-receiving and cross-docking – multiple channels

– Driving huge increase in ASN requirements across all models: Drop Ship, DC, Store etc.
