DSA warehouses…
1) DSA organizations offer Consultant Starter kits which provide the consultant with everything they need to jump start their business. It is a collection of items (catalogs, sales brochures, samples, etc.) that may have special shipping requirements. For many network marketing organizations the starter kit is a ship-alone product.
2) Additional documentation is often needed - DSA organizations often require custom documentation like warranties, consultant paperwork, and customer paperwork to be printed and shipped.
3) QC Software's Specific Quality Control solutions:
• QC Software has helped many major DSA organizations minimize their returns by improving order accuracy. QC Software's warehouse control system allows for specific weight tolerances. By weighing the container, the warehouse tracking can discern if the right product was selected. This is significantly more efficient than manually checking each container.
• Sometimes a handful of consultants represent a disproportionate number of shipment complaints; QC Software's solution installs a module that gives the system flexibility and help quality control employees monitor order integrity using various criteria. DSA organizations set the percentage of orders to be reviewed and verified by advisor, shipper, zone, pick location, SKU, carton, etc.
