The Perfect Order programme began over a year ago as a collaboration between leading retailers and suppliers, facilitated by GS1 UK, to harmonise inbound delivery requirements for the UK retail grocery sector. It set out with the goal to improve efficiency and remove the significant avoidable costs that exist in the supply chain – in order to deliver real financial and efficiency benefits for suppliers and retailers, and of course, ultimately for the shopper too.
The industry working group was initially driven by poor compliance to inbound receipting requirements, the customisation of individual retailer orders by suppliers, and poor adoption and implementation of the global GS1 supply chain standards.
