Pallet pooling: CHEP and VPS
Separate from retailer EDI, FreshTrack also talks to the pallet pools. CHEP and VPS (Viscount Pooling Systems) transfers are sent straight from the dispatch load, so the pallets and crates you despatch are transferred off your account without re-keying. It is its own integration, with its own page: CHEP and VPS pallet transfers.
The messages FreshTrack handles
- Orders and provisional (forecast) orders received from the buyer.
- Order change requests, when you need to answer a quantity or a price.
- Advance shipping notices (ASN), built from the pallets and SSCC labels on the load.
- Invoices, tied to what was despatched.
- Goods receipts and remittance advices coming back from the buyer.
How it works
- The buyer's order arrives in FreshTrack. No one re-keys it.
- You pack and palletise against it. Each pallet carries an SSCC label.
- When the load is despatched, FreshTrack sends the ASN from the pallets scanned onto it.
- The invoice follows, and the buyer's receipt and remittance come back against the same order.
New to EDI?
Electronic Data Interchange is the standard retailers use to exchange purchase orders and invoices automatically. A VAN (value-added network) securely carries that data between systems. FreshTrack handles both for you. FreshTrack Systems is listed by GS1 Australia as an Associate Alliance Partner.
