High Street Retailer
A major high street retailer came to Orridge Supply Chain Services with an issue of confusion about where, and to what extent, there is stock inaccuracy within their supply chain. There were distinct differences of views throughout their business about the scale of their inaccuracy as well as the source of it. The bottom line was that their on-shelf availability was suffering.
Renewable Energy
A specialist engineering company which focuses on renewable energy components was looking for a full stocktake of their portfolio of products. The business is constantly expanding its offerings to customers and needs an up-to-date count of everything currently in their inventory.

What are Good Faith Receiving (GFR) Audits?
One of the ways retailers can save time, money, administration, and resources is to allow their suppliers to deliver stock to stores or warehouses in good faith (not manually checking all inbound deliveries). As a way of ensuring stock accuracy, sample audits are carried out, and an accuracy figure is derived.
This figure is used to measure the performance of the supplier and appropriate charges are levied back to them – normally a reduction in the entire charge by the percentage of the inaccuracy (a reduction in price based on the level of inaccuracy). For example, a 5% reduction in the invoice value where only 95% accuracy is achieved.
What is Picking Accuracy?
This is a service that helps us determine the accuracy level of deliveries you receive. The benefits of this allow our clients to pinpoint areas of their operation which fall below a required standard. The accuracy figure we deliver can also help allocate the correct charges to the right place, whether this be internal or to your suppliers.
