Where Duane Reade compliance typically breaks?
Most failures occur when barcode labels and ASN data are misaligned.
Is your ASN data synced with ERP in real time?
Disconnected ERP systems lead to duplicate ASN entries, inventory mismatches, and manual corrections that delay shelf replenishment.
Are you using redundant VAN or AS2 connections?
A single communication failure can block order transmissions, causing service-level misses and downgrading your vendor score.
