2 Customer Relations Coordinator (CRC) Our #1 priority is to satisfy the customer “CUSTOMER IS KING” ENTERING ORDERS: -Entering orders in the system within 24 hours from various interfaces (EDI, Telephone, Fax, Email) -Even orders with ship dates far in the future need to be entered right away in order to keep scheduling up to date on production demands. -Before entering orders all aspects of the order are checked for accuracy (pricing, product codes, case packs, etc.). -If discrepancies exist the CRC will work with the customer directly to resolve the problem. Because orders cannot be entered in the system with errors, it is important that these concerns are resolved quickly and efficiently. -Once orders are received confirmations are sent to the customer (via EDI or e-mail).

3 Customer Relations Coordinator (CRC) PROCESSING ORDERS (WAREHOUSE, ROUTING, ETC) -CRC’s utilize different tools within our system to run reports that show order demand for the next day (minimum). The reports also show stock levels are the various warehouses. -If stock discrepancies exist the CRC first analyzes the stock transfer schedules to see if a product is going to arrive at the warehouse in time for the ship date. If not, the CRC works with the Scheduling Department to try to resolve the concern. -CRC’s work with their warehouse to ensure items are picked and palletized properly and in a timely fashion. -CRC’s refer to the vendor guide routing instructions for PO shipping details. -In cases where shipments are pre-paid the CRC sources freight quotes. -CRC’s are responsible to ensure that the carriers pick up orders within the ship window.
