THE MODERN RETAIL ECONOMY
E-Commerce Impact Collaborative Computing Adoption
New Distribution Challenges M-Commerce Empowerment
Ship-to-Consumer Ship-to-DC Ship-to-Store Cross-Dock Import VMI
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.
