IDEA: Track net sales shipped/earned every day and expose/correct shipping/billing problems

Track your company’s net sales shipped or earned every day.

You may discover the one or more reasons for the following events/problems/issues/process errors:

  • shipments did not go out on time,
  • trucks that were scheduled for pick ups failed to arrive,
  • bills of lading were incompletely filled out,
  • problems loading products in the shipping department,
  • inadequate and uncompleted bills of lading,
  • shipments made without purchase orders or authorizations,
  • shipments picked up and returned due to packaging problems or various shipment problems,
  • invoices were not completed due to paperwork lacking,
  • invoices not billed due to lack of personnel, etc.  or
  • billings were not sent out or performed on the customers’ portals due to lack of signed documents.

Having to gather this information each day takes a few minutes but will disclose a number of problems in that section of your company you catch in order to correct the process or people responsible for that process.

Is there anything we missed?
