Keep every retail requirement attached to the shipment.
ShipCDP connects case and pallet fulfillment to routing guides, compliant labels, EDI milestones, appointments, must-arrive-by dates, and proof of delivery.
Physical freight and digital milestones move together.
CDP treats the retailer requirement as part of the warehouse workflow. The order, inventory, label, pack or pallet configuration, routing instructions, electronic documents, appointment, carrier handoff, and delivery milestone are mapped before volume is released.

- POD and OS&D follow-up
Translate the requirements, test them, then control every shipment.

Questions a real proposal should answer.
Program-specific commitments come from the approved operating facts, scope, assumptions, pricing, and launch plan.
Can CDP support EDI 856 ASNs?+
CDP can map and test ASN workflows when the trading-partner requirements, system connections, fields, timing, reconciliation, and exception ownership are defined during discovery.
How are routing-guide changes handled?+
A change should update the controlled requirement, work instruction, test case, and affected order path before it becomes normal production.
Can retail and ecommerce ship from one operation?+
Yes. The inventory picture can remain shared while each channel keeps its own allocation, pick, pack, label, document, routing, and delivery controls.
How are shortages or damaged freight handled?+
The program defines hold, documentation, customer decision, substitution or partial-release rules, carrier communication, and final disposition before the exception occurs.
