You pull up the retailer's remittance, and the invoice is already short. A stack of deductions is sitting against a purchase order that shipped on time and arrived in full. The freight went out, the product is on the shelf, and the retailer still clawed back a percentage for a...

The materials manager walks the floor, and the math does not work. Racking is full, a truck of raw material lands this week, and the finished pallets coming off the line have nowhere to go. The fix everyone reaches for is a new building lease, and that is the one...

It is the January after the peak, and pallets of returned inventory are blocking a receiving dock that should be receiving new product. Every box on those pallets is a refund you already issued and a unit whose fate is still undecided. The question is not how to send the...
