Key updates you can't miss____________________________________

New Process: Request Customer Phone Number.

Currently customer phone numbers are shown on the orders dashboard. To help protect our customers’ data and understand how we can improve our internal processes, we are removing the phone numbers from the Orders Dashboard.

Instead, a workflow will be added to your hub's CS channel that will return the customer phone number. You only need to fill in the order number and the reason from a drop down menu:

  • Rider unable to call the customer via the app

  • Rider does not speak the customer’s language

  • Need to arrange a re-delivery

The feature will go live at 11am Wednesday 15th

Understanding why we need to call customers will help us to improve our processes and save you time in the future!

🚨 HUB ALERT TICKETS – DELIVERY ISSUES 🚨

A huge thank you to everyone who contributed to resolving the recent Melkan cheese issues. This achievement is a testament to the incredible teamwork and dedication of our team!

Together, you identified concerns with a shipment of Melkan Cheese and promptly raised Hub Alert Tickets to address the problem. Your collective efforts and proactive actions allowed us to claim the affected items and recover over €1,600 for the company!

This success highlights how vital teamwork and attention to detail are in protecting our resources and identifying opportunities to improve.

Your hard work truly makes a difference. Let’s keep up this fantastic momentum—if you notice any delivery-related concerns, continue flagging them with a Hub Alert Ticket. Together, we’re building a stronger and more efficient operation every day!

Thank you all for your dedication, collaboration, and outstanding contributions.

🌟 WE NEED YOUR FEEDBACK! 🌟

We’re always looking for ways to improve, and your feedback is invaluable in helping us identify challenges and enhance the Hub Alert process. To achieve this, we’d love to hear your input!

Here’s how you can help:

  • Share your thoughts on how we can improve the usage and support of Hub Alerts.

  • Highlight best practices from your hub, especially if you’re one of our top-performing teams.

  • Inspire others by sharing tips to improve ticket submissions and resolve delivery issues more efficiently.

Please take a few minutes to complete our Survey. The more feedback, the better! Don’t forget to share it with your team so we can gather as much input as possible.

🤓Don’t forget the back stock! When moving products to their new shelf, always remember to check and reposition any backstock on the top shelves as well!

Having trouble understanding hub sizes?

Read all about it here.

Why do we do shelf changes?

Shelf changes are primarily made to optimize product placement, such as moving items from an S to an XS shelf. This allows the shelves to be listed in more hubs than they currently are, expanding the assortment’s size across all hubs rather than concentrating it in only the larger L or XL hubs.

For example, by consolidating products on an S shelf, we can free up space on a relatively empty M shelf and streamline product placement from top to bottom.

This process will continue in the near future as we work to broaden our assortment. Expanding our assortment ultimately increases the potential basket size for customers.

If you notice products that don’t fit the shelves when following the facings, flag them via the “Facings feedback” option in Hub Alert.
