[Update: Flink app] Bundle issues fix for fruits and vegetables šŸŽšŸŽšŸŽ

Good news! This week, we will fix the bundle issues for fruits and vegetables šŸš€

Here’s what you need to know:

  • When we don’t have enough products to form a fruit and vegetable bundle, the bundle won’t be visible in the app to our customers.

  • Additionally, the product’s SKU will show the single units available for that product.

  • For example: when there is an apple 6-pack in the Flink app and we reach 5 apples in stock, the 6-pack-bundle disappears from the Flink app and the apple’s SKU shows 5 single apples available.

[Update: Hub Portal] New live steering metric šŸ“²

Today, we added one more OA metric at the Employee level: SKUs checked.

In April, we will add even more OA/Rider metrics. Stay tuned!

[Update: HubOne] SKUs that trigger BBD/Fresh checks šŸ”

We adjusted the SKUs that trigger the BBD and Fresh checks in HubOne. This could lead to a big one time increase in BBD checks in your hub over the next days. But don’t fret, the process to perform these checks stays the same and the amount of checks will also stay roughly the same!

Here’s what you need to know:

BBD checks

The goal is to ensure that BBD checks are triggered only for products that have a best-before-date on the packaging. As such, we will exclude products from the BBD check based on the following SKUs:

  • Dry or drinks with a shelf life of more than 150 days

  • Spirits or wine

  • Dry non-foods

  • Ultra fresh/baked goods with a shelf life of 1 day

  • Fruits and vegetables with a shelf life of less than 35 days

Fresh checks

Fresh checks will be triggered for fruits and vegetables with a shelf life of less than 35 days. See the SKUs and frequency below:

SKUs

Check frequency

Shelf life of 5 days or less

Daily

Shelf life between 6-10 days

3 times a week

Shelf life between 11-35 days

2 times a week

[Go-live: Inbound] Rewe rollis with individual barcodes šŸ“¦

Next Tuesday (02.04) onward, you will start receiving Rewe rollis with crates that have individual barcodes. The way to scan them in the HubOne app to inbound them is different.

Here’s what you need to know:

  • Each crate in the Rewe rolli has its own individual barcode.

  • You need to scan the barcode of each crate and inbound them individually.

  • This means that, for these specific rollis, you don’t need to scan the rolli ID.

    • In fact, if you scan the rolli ID, you receive an error message:

    • This is because the rolli ID is inactive.

  • For example: if a Rewe rolli comes with 6 crates with individual barcodes, you need to inbound each crate individually. Six crates = 6 scans:

[ACTION] 3.0 Hubs Shelf Changes


​

:rotating-light-red:

IMPORTANT: The shelf Change is only Valid for the Hubs that are in hub 3.0 setup.

:rotating-light-red:

In the google drive folder you will find the G-sheet files for all the hubs that are affected in the shelf change.

Please only follow the ones that have exactly the same naming of your hubs and also be careful with following the same hub code while downloading the files.

Please find the file here {LINK}

Some notes on the sheets:

  • The sheets are, as mentioned above, Hub specific. So only the sheet named with your hub code is valid for your hub.

  • "SKU" you can find a the SKU which needs to be moved to another shelf space;

  • "shelf" - 3rd column: If the cell is empty, we just assigned this product to your Hub, so please just store it in the shelf mentioned in "new shelf";

  • "newShelf" - 5th column: If the cell is empty, you can get rid of the product (same process like delisting);

  • if both "shelf" and "newShelf" have a shelf number, it's a normal shelf change.

  • The changes will go live tonight between 01 am and 07 am, please reorder the products tonight/ tomorrow morning.

If you have any questions, please contact feel free to reach out to Muhammad Al Zabir Rakin.

Thank you!
