  • % reported items (EAN swipes)

  • Inbounding fill rate (DESADV-based items)

  • Inbound Checker Completion

  • % Negative corrections (% of GMV)

  • % Corrections per check

Congratulations to NL_UTR_WEST for winning last week’s KPI Competition! Keep up the good work, team & Nina! šŸš€

šŸ’”Overstock Checker

We developed the Overstock Checker Dashboard to help address the frequent posts from hubs about SKUs that appear to be overstocked but might have upcoming promotions.

In this new dashboard, you can search for a specific SKU and quickly see its overstock status, along with its number of days on stock in the hub and the dates of any upcoming promotions.

Here’s how it works:

  1. Select your hub and search for a specific SKU

→ You can export/print the list by right clicking on the table.

šŸ’”WF App stats deepdive - Go live Wed 26 June

Stat tiles are now clickable and lead to the ā€˜Deep Dive’ pages, where Riders/OAs can see how they performed during the selected time period compared to their colleagues. They can see the hub average, the top performer, and tips to maintain or improve their performance.

Below is an example of how it looks like in the app:

šŸ’”Nominating someone for an Ops Associate + role

The process for nominating new Ops Associate + is live! You can see the full process in the Hub Wiki page.

Here’s how it works:

  1. Nomination: the Hub Manager aligns a nomination with the City Manager. With a successful alignment, the Hub Manager nominates the OA+ via this form. The Hub Manager and the candidate then receive an email about the onboarding process to follow.

  2. Onboarding: in order to be eligible to do an OA+ shift, the nominee has to fulfil a critical basis training on BHV and complete the safety assessment successfully.

  3. The other required practices and process training can be found in the Hub Wiki page.

Shelf Changes

____________________________________

🚨Shelf changes for Hub 3.0

In today's shelf changes, some products currently placed on shelf 999X will be assigned to a new shelf.

It might also happen that some products appear as New listings, but you might already have them in stock on shelf 999x. Please check there, and in case you can’t find them, it means you haven’t received them yet.

Find here the list of shelf changes for Hub 3.0.

The shelf changes will be uploaded to the respective folder in the late afternoon, so check around that time.

Training

____________________________________

šŸ’”EduMe for onboarding new joiners

Starting from tomorrow (26 June), all new joiners will need to complete the Onboarding Training in a new platform: EduMe.

Here’s how it works:

  • The flow is exactly the same as it is now.

  • New joiners will receive the training link in the onboarding welcome email.

  • The only difference is that instead of being hosted in Northpass, the OB training is now hosted in the EduMe platform.

  • The reminders for new joiners will of course lead to Edume links as well.

  • For older employees, nothing changes. They'll still be able to access Northpass

Supply Chain Updates

____________________________________

šŸ’”Quality & delivery issues: week 25

1. Missing barcode/label on packaging

  • Description: no Barcode/label on fruits (e.g.: grapes, cherries)

  • Action taken by SC: report with the supplier in case of a missing label.

  • Action for the hub: it can happen occasionally that a product has no label on the box. Please flag it via HubAlert. For fruits & vegetables without a THT, we can still sell them.

2.Quality issue: Kersen schaal

  • Description: poor quality delivery.

  • Action taken by SC: we stopped purchasing them for a few days until a new sort of Kersen was available. You will receive them Wednesday.

  • Action for the hub: raise a Hub Alert ticket whenever you see quality issues. Include photos.

3.Quality issue: Druiven Wit Pitloos 500g

  • Description: brown skin and mold on Druiven Wit Pitloos.

  • Action taken by SC: asked supplier to do extra checks

  • Action for the hub: sugar can cause the grapes to discolor slightly. Check carefully and only outbound them if they are brown and bruised.

Important: we kindly request that you use Hub Alert in case of delivery or quality problems to facilitate a follow-up. Thank you @nl-hub-manager
