How to Maintain B2B Retail Routing Guide Compliance

Those who have shipped products for a B2B Retail program know that Routing Guides - and by association, chargebacks - are not to be taken lightly.

In today’s competitive world of the big box retailers, vendor compliance is critical for retailers to maintain their already low margins.  They have succeeded in aggressively pushing standards down to their vendors.  That manifests in the Routing Guide.

Some Routing Guides can be small and relatively straight-forward.  However, there are also hundred-page beasts which dictate label positioning, tape usage, pallet stacking and strapping, photography requirements, same-story shipping schedules, and more.
