Deliveries to Lidl distribution centers
For a food industry client we handled deliveries to Lidl distribution centers. End to end – from booking the window, through labels and delivery notes, to handing over the paperwork at the ramp.
The brief
A food industry client had won a slot at Lidl and faced the question most small and medium-sized brands face: how to actually get the goods into the warehouse. Lidl’s supplier handbook is long, the rules are strict and a single mistake means a returned pallet and a lost slot.
We took all of it on. The client handed the goods over to us – we delivered an accepted shipment.
What we did
Booking the delivery windows
Coordination of slots at Lidl DC receiving – no room for delays, no extra window.
Labels to Lidl rules
SSCC labels, GS1-128, pallet and carton labels exactly according to the supplier handbook. Every label checked twice before departure.
Delivery notes in perfect order
Format, data, signatures – nothing that could make the delivery fail. Receiving does not forgive even a small mistake.
Driver briefing and hand-over
A driver meeting the distribution center’s requirements, equipped with the paperwork and instructions for the hand-over at the ramp.
Paperwork hand-over and documents back
Stamps at the ramp, receiving documents back to the client, records – so the whole cycle is closed.
The result
