Inventory shrinkage
The misalignment is normally below 5%, in many cases below 1%.
We see to realignment between accounting and physical stock, so that there are no differences. The goal is to minimize the time to develop and reduce errors in accounting stock.
Statistics
Our service includes periodical statistics for all monitored functions: from warehouse flows and processes to transportation.
We extrapolate data from our management software and relate them so as to synthesize phenomena, trends, or configurations that can be used for evaluations and modifications.
These statistics are a tool that increase our performance’s transparency and visibility.
At the same time, they form the basis for developing business intelligence activities. In fact, the customer has up-to-date information based on evidence for making business decisions.
Customer Satisfaction Audit
Customer satisfaction can be seen in their smile. But besides this valuable human index, at Columbus Logistics we organize an audit for the quality of our services every two years.
The audit consists of a questionnaire with ten questions and is conveniently filled out online. The leading certification body in the world, Det Norske Veritas (DNV), uses its inspectors to verify the compliance with this audit and its proper conduct.
