Taking Orders Having a successful distribution management system is important for business to remain competitive and to keep customers happy. The goal is to achieve ultimate efficiency in delivering raw materials to the right place and time in the proper condition. This means that proper planning has to be done when orders are placed. Set clear expectations with your customers on when they should have placed orders for delivery on specific times. Failure to do this might result in delays and ultimately bad service to your customers.
Set clear expectations You are responsible for setting clear guidelines about what your customers can reasonably expect from you. For example be clear about when your customers should have placed orders for delivery on specific times. Explain to them how delays and last minute requests affect the entire system and how it may then be hard to satisfy them. Failure to do this might result in delays and ultimately bad service to your customers. However if an urgent request comes in do your best to assist.
Delivery Process When you arrive at your customer, firstly greet them with a warm smile and have a friendly demeanour. Let them know what you have brought for them and that you need them to come with you. Be mindful of the times you bring deliveries, if its peak period your customers may not quickly come to you.0
Delivery Process Make sure you offload and place the goods where the manager directs you to. Consider the storage process of the goods you are delivering. For wet stores for example, place goods in the proper lugs and remove from direct sunlight. Your customer must be happy with their goods. Also make sure the invoice and what you deliver are tallying and quantities are correct. Get all paperwork before leaving the store.
