Pick Accuracy

Reliable data, leading to reduced shrinkage and increased sales

Pick Accuracy

'Customer Availability', 'Sales', 'Shrinkage'. At Orridge, we know that these performance measures matter to you. We offer cost-effective solutions which will support you in improving these performance measures across your entire business.


The effort retailers invest in tackling shrinkage and availability issues is often misaligned with the root cause of the problem. Studies have shown that the majority of shrinkage and availability problems are self-inflicted through process issues, leading to corruption of the shrinkage and availability driver - the stock file.

The distribution centre operation is driven by a series of complex receiving and picking processes. It's during this phase of the operation that mistakes are made. If the stock received in store isn't accurate more remedial action in store is required to make corrections. Higher shrinkage and lower availability are the consequences.

The Orridge pick accuracy audit solution is simple. Not only will it improve your shrinkage and availability, but it will also save your business money.

Orridge will provide a team of skilled auditors to work with your distribution teams to ensure that what is being picked accurately reflects what is required by your stores, by conducting regular sample audits of your stores' deliveries.

Our work will provide you with a robust delivery accuracy figure. We are able to report our findings in real time as well as investigating the root-cause so any systemic issues can be rectified.

Our audits are flexible, independent and accurate and can be tailored to suit your needs. We actively encourage our customers to give us the freedom to work in their best interests. This enables us to provide meaningful data as unpredicted audits are random and far reaching.
