There are currently three Logistic Flow types. If you need to check Failed Order Lines or supplier performance by logistic flow type, SCOT offers you this possibility by providing Logistic Flow search filter under the RCA and the Portfolio Performance sections.


Overview of Logistic Flow Types


0 - PAXD & DSD (Pre-Allocated Cross Docking & Direct Store Delivery) - Non-consolidated orders

  • Direct Store Delivery refers to orders which are delivered directly to the stores. Suppliers receive orders for each separate store (non-consolidated) and deliver them directly to the stores. Platform is not involved.
  • PAXD is similar to DSD, because suppliers receive orders for each separate store (non-consolidated), BUT deliver them to the platform.


1 - BBXD (Break-Bulk Cross Docking) - Consolidated orders

  • Orders for separate stores are being consolidated (merged together) before being sent to suppliers, so suppliers receive total order which they will have to deliver to platform. At platform, orders are sorted and prepared for each separate store.


2 - CS (Central Stock)

  • Central Stock refers to an optimal inventory stored in a warehouse for a longer period and from which orders are shipped to stores in a large area.
