Make delivery instructions usable for the receiving team
Sheffield coordinates distribution enquiries around the actual delivery points, package profile and receiving schedules. A single delivery to a depot differs from a replenishment run to several stores; share the full address list and expected delivery quantities at the start.
Agree how each handover will be evidenced and how failed deliveries, returns or shortages will be reported. Separate transport from any requested picking, repacking or site unloading. Accurate dispatch records reduce uncertainty when the consignee checks the delivery against the purchase order.
