🚨Update: Too Good To Go

On Monday, May 20, we launched dynamic pricing for all TGTG hubs. This measure ensures that, if a certain number of bags isn’t sold by a specific time, the price per bag will decrease. This is to make sure that all bags are sold. That’s why you’ll see varying prices for the bags in the portal/app. To implement this, we need to set a standard number of bags offered per day at each hub. This number will be adjusted weekly based on the previous week's waste.

To help you create the bags, we’ve added a Too Good To Go section at the bottom of the daily hub KPI sendout, including product name, category, and outbound value (€) per item. The bag value in € did not change for both surprise and bread box bags.

🚨New process: vacation balance check

We’re updating how vacation balances are displayed. Employees will soon no longer see their vacation balance in Quinyx. Instead, it will soon be available in the workforce (WF) app. During this transition, only Hub Managers (HMs) and Shift Leads (SL) can view the employees' vacation balances.

Employees must request their vacation balance from their HM or SL until it’s incorporated into the WF app.

Why the change?

The Netherlands' complex vacation system and technical limitations in Quinyx require this shift to be on the WF app for better functionality.

Shelf Changes

____________________________________

🚨Shelf changes for hub 3.0 and hub 2.0

In today's shelf changes, some products might appear as new listings, but you might already have them in stock on the 999x shelf.

Additionally, some products currently located on the 999x shelf might be assigned a new shelf.

Please check the 999x shelf for these products. If you can’t find them there, it means you haven’t received them yet.

List of shelf changes:

  • Shelf change for hub 3.0: here

  • Shelf change for hub 2.0: here

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

💡 Reminder: products with shelf 999X or N/A

Due to a new way of assigning products, some inbound products might display shelf 999X or N/A, even though the product has been assigned a shelf. In these cases, it can take the system up to 30 minutes to create the shelf in the HubOne app. So, please inbound the items on 999X and make sure to check it after 30 minutes or throughout the day for the respective shelf.
