  1. ASN TOOLKIT

  2. ASN Toolkit “Leveraging Supply Chain Information”

  3. Q: WHAT IS AN ASNA: ADVANCE SHIP NOTICE “I need 100 pair” Order ASN “I am shipping 75 pair on the APL Holland, ETA October 1” The APLL ASN Toolkit is an integrated solution that links the information flow between customers and suppliers and ensures Advanced Ship Notification (ASN) compliance.

  4. HOW THE ASN CREATES VALUE • Allows for automated DC receiving and sortation (electronically sent to ERP/WMS system) • Improves inventory mgt by sending the ASN file directly to the order system • Earlier visibility to inventory • Actual in transit inventory can be pre-allocated • Updates inventory systems for future orders • Ensures higher level handling at deconsolidation facility or distribution center • Ensures accurate, consistent ASN compliance to avoid penalties (customer or vendor/factory) • Increases customer data integrity

  5. ASN TOOLKIT SERVICES • Identify the product • Label printing – item and carton • Capture the data • Factory scan and pack – ASN123 • APLL origin scanning (APLL cross-dock or factory) • Packing list input • PO management • WebLink – PO allocations over the Internet

  6. LABEL PRINTING SERVICES • Printing multiple label types • Carton (UCC128), part number (UPC, EAN), shoe box, etc. • Label printing in factories • PO required • On-site, on demand at the inner-pack, item/part, SKU (UPC/EAN), level • Label printing at APLL facility • Economies of scale • Experience with all label types (carton, hang-tags, shoe box, sticky labels, etc.)

  7. Benefits to customers and factories Data feeds to ensure correct information on labels Label printing software for self printing in factories Avoid delays from 3rd party printers Eliminate label shipping costs Trusted supply chain provider for label printing services Ability to have scannable carton and/or product labels EDI savings LABEL PRINTING SERVICES

  8. FLAVORS OF ASN Creation • ASN123 Item level scan and pack - Identifies carton contents, creates carton labels at the factory • APL Cross-Dock Scanning - APLL carton label scanning at the APL cross-dock facility or directly on the factory floor (outer carton) • APL ASN Services - 3rd party factory packing list sent to APLL to send final outbound ASN to the customer • APLL Manual Packing List Generation – APLL manual input into internal systems and electronic ASN transmitted (no labels, carton detail not required)

  9. ASN123 - SCAN and PACK • Most accurate data capture tool • Provides earliest visibility • Enables electronic information flow between buyer and seller • Standardizes commercial documents (CI, PL) • Multiple file formats (ANSIx12, EDIFACT, flat file)

  10. ASN 123 PACKER MODULE • Receive PO from Supplier • Define packing instructions • Standard pack, mixed pack • Update carton dimensions • Send electronic packing lists to APLL • Standardize packing lists across all suppliers • Preprint labels • Generate outer carton label • Scan and pack items into shipping cartons • Validate correct SKUs and quantities • Change master pack quantity

  11. WEBLINK – PO MANAGEMENT • Distribute customer PO’s to suppliers electronically • Allows supplier to confirm PO receipt • Facilitates splitting of PO’s to factories (suppliers allocate to the factories) • Enables e-Packing List transmissions • Provides a customer view of PO status
