The U.S. food retail industry loses an estimated $15-20 billion annually due to out-of-stocks and unsalable inventory, equating to two to three percent of total sales. At the same time, retailers are raising On-Time, In-Full (OTIF) thresholds, tightening guidelines and issuing penalties that quickly compound when performance slips below required standards.

In today’s retail landscape, every late or missed delivery window, inaccurate ASN or labeling error disrupts replenishment and jeopardizes shelf availability. This directly translates into lost sales, weakened scorecard performance and diminished retailer trust.

Three Steps to Master Retail Compliance

Partial truckloads, inconsistent carrier execution and missed delivery windows introduce variability that directly impacts OTIF performance and exposure to costly penalties. Retail consolidation streamlines that complexity.

For over 13 years and running, RJW has held the #1 position in OTIF performance, delivering 98%+ On-Time, 99%+ In-Full, with 100% inventory accuracy.

Without immediate visibility into orders, inventory levels and shipment status, suppliers are forced into reactive mode, addressing deductions after they occur. In today’s retail environment, delayed insight translates directly into financial risk.

RJW delivers performance insights and on-demand reporting that create the control necessary to meet rising OTIF standards. From order placement to real-time inventory status and end-to-end product tracking, RJW’s customized technology solutions, including AI-enabled logistics capabilities, connect every stage of the supply chain.

Retail compliance ultimately comes down to control. When execution is fragmented across multiple providers, variability increases and compliance risk follows. That’s why we own our trucking fleet, operate our own warehouses and develop advanced analytics platforms. Our asset-based model delivers the oversight needed to reduce risk, increase transparency across transportation and warehousing and strengthen decision-making. Backed by deep retailer relationships and seamless system integration, RJW provides actionable insights that help suppliers optimize processes, control costs and expand retail presence to drive sustainable sales growth.
