ASN: Advanced and Accurate? Study to Shed Light

Does ASN accuracy really matter?

Can’t we just assume that the vendor puts in the box what the ASN says in the box?

According to a study by Compliance Networks and Auburn University, an assumption of ASN accuracy may be risky. When problems arise, the implications reach from the DC all the way to the consumer.

After examining ASN audit data from multiple retailers over the period from 2006 to 2010, the study’s preliminary findings indicate that average ASN accuracy rates are below 95%.

Welcome

A note from Greg Holder CEO, Compliance Networks

holder_suit_2008small

Welcome to Compliance Networks. We believe that in order to distinguish ourselves above all other software and services companies in this industry, we must be driven by a purpose that is greater than just making money or a name for ourselves. This purpose must always remain bigger than our organization otherwise the reason for our existence becomes self-centered and egotistical.  We exist to support our customers because without our customers, we don’t exist.

Speaking of “being in existence,” 2010 marks Compliance Networks’s 10th year of operations. That’s 10 years of providing customers with the solutions and services they need to benefit from leaner, more profitable supply chains.
