šø Outbound Picture During Inbound ā Important Reminder
We have now been live for one week with the Image for Outbound During Inbound process. Unfortunately, we still see that many hubs are not using this functionality correctly.
Important!
Update your Zebra device so this functionality is available.
Please make sure to follow the steps below carefully:
Important!
Always enter the correct expiry date (THT) or production code in the system.
In the next slide you can see where to find the BBD, Production and Batch codes
Important!
Always add photos of the label:
One photo of the product where the damage is clearly visible.
Also when something fell out of the rolcontainer, make a clear picture with the rolcontainer on it so we see that thatās the cause of the damage.

One photo of the product label showing the expiry date (THT) or production date.
These photos are essential for verification and are very important for us.
Correct usage is crucial to ensure proper validation, follow-up and claiming at supplier.

š Launching: The New Hub Leadership Training & Portal - GoLive 17.12
We are excited to announce a major step forward in how we develop our teams: the launch of the official Hub Leadership Training program.
To ensure everyone is up to speed before the official go-live, please join us for the Intro Meeting today at 15:00 (Hub managers, Shift Leads, OA+s)
š± Feature Spotlight: The New Training Portal
Central to this program is the launch of the Leadership Training Portal, a centralised platform designed to manage all training access and progress tracking.
For Hub Managers, this portal is your new command centre for team development:
Book BHV Course: The new location for booking your team for BHV courses and making sure they have up-to-date certificates.
Nominate Talent: You will use the portal to review succession planning and officially nominate your OA+ or Shift Leads (SL) for promotion training.
Monitor Progress: You can view an overview of all your team leads and track their completion status in real-time.
Support Growth: The portal allows you to check in on your trainees, discuss their challenges, and set their "Understanding Level" to ensure they are truly ready for the next step.
š Comprehensive Training Content
We have developed 10 specialised modules designed to solve the lack of standardised materials and provide a clear career path for our operations leadership teams. The content is a mix of theory slides, interactive assessments, and courses across four core areas:
Safety & Compliance: Covering Hub, Work & Fire Safety, as well as Labour Law and Workforce Compliance.
Quinyx & Planning: Focusing on planning basics, scheduling, and "The HM Role".
Data & KPIs: Training on Live Steering and understanding Hub Manager KPIs to improve performance.
People & Soft Skills: dedicated modules on Soft Skills expectations, managing aggression, and de-escalation techniques.
š± Growing Our People, Strengthening Flink
This program moves us from unstructured onboarding to clear career paths. It equips managers with the tools to build stable, high-performing teams, directly boosting Hub performance and satisfaction.
By ensuring every leader is genuinely ready for their role, we are raising the standard of operational excellence across Flink.
š Lekkerland Delivery 29th of December

Shelf Changes & De-listings

Shelf changes:
The shelf changes will be posted at 15:00 today and will go live tonight. Please move products to their new locations after closure or tomorrow morning. Don't forget the back stock!
In the shelf change output file, you will now find two additional columns: one showing the number of facings for the product being moved to the new shelf, and another indicating whether the product is stored as an HU. If the cell is blank, it means the product should be stored as an SU.
If you do not find your hub's file in the folders, it means there are no shelf changes for you this week.
