Retail Compliance

Per-retailer routing guides, EDI 856 ASNs, GS1-128 labeling, and chargeback root-cause tracking. We've shipped to Walmart, Target, Costco, Wayfair, Home Depot, Lowe's.

What retail compliance covers

The retailer scorecard, treated as the operating spec.

1

Per-retailer routing

Walmart, Target, Costco, Wayfair, Home Depot, Lowe's, Sephora, Dick's. Each routing guide loaded as a checklist into the WMS, not memorized by an ops manager.

2

EDI 856 + ASN

EDI 850 PO ingested, EDI 856 ASN filed per retailer-specific timing windows. SPS Commerce, CommerceHub, DSCO connected through Extensiv.

3

GS1-128 + UCC labels

GS1-128 carton labels with the retailer's SSCC barcode. UCC-128 pallet labels. Each label generated and audited at the same station.

4

Chargeback prevention audit

Pre-pickup audit against the routing guide. Wrong pallet height, late ASN, missing label — flagged and fixed before pickup, not after invoice.

5

Chargeback root-cause tracking

Per-retailer chargeback reasons logged. Root-cause review monthly. Same mistake never happens twice.

6

Performance dashboard

On-time-in-full %, ASN-on-time %, chargeback rate by retailer. You see your scorecard before the retailer does.

How retail orders run

From PO drop to retailer dock, audited every step.

  1. 01

    PO + routing

    PO drops via EDI 850 or portal. Current routing guide pulled. Pickup window confirmed; retailer-routed carrier scheduled.

  2. 02

    Pick + compliance pack

    Pick to retailer case quantity. GS1-128 labels generated. Pallet built to max-height + slip-sheet rules.

  3. 03

    ASN + BOL

    EDI 856 ASN filed per the retailer's timing window. BOL generated. Loaded trailer photographed for the order record.

  4. 04

    Audit + flag

    Pre-pickup audit. Chargeback risks fixed before pickup. Not surfaced six weeks later as a deduction.

when you're talking about chargebacks, when you're talking about near misses, a lot of that stuff, that's the minutia that costs. And people forget about that very easily.
Megan Smith · Supply Chain Saga · Episode 20 — "The chargebacks nobody warns new brands about"

Why brands move retail compliance to us

Preferred-vendor status compounds. Chargeback rate kills it.

1

We've shipped to all of them.

Walmart, Target, Costco, Wayfair, Home Depot, Lowe's, Sephora. The routing guides aren't a learning exercise — they're the operating manual.

2

EDI is native, not bolted on.

SPS Commerce, CommerceHub, DSCO connected through Extensiv. No 'we'll figure out the integration in month two.'

3

Chargebacks tracked by retailer.

Reasons logged, root-cause reviewed monthly. The same deduction doesn't happen twice.

4

ASN timing windows audited.

Each retailer has different ASN timing rules. Ours are coded into the WMS, not in someone's head.
