Stop Losing €41,000/Year in Shift Handoff Chaos and Missed Carrier Cutoffs
Your 14-person fulfillment operation handles 400 orders/day across two shifts. Night shift leaves issues on sticky notes that day shift never sees. FedEx pickup at 4pm but half the priority orders aren't picked yet. Exception emails from clients about wrong items, missed shipments, damaged goods—but nobody tracks if they're one-off problems or systemic failures. You need operations visibility that spans shifts—not enterprise WMS that costs €50,000 to implement and requires a full-time admin.

The €41,000/Year Leak in Every Small Fulfillment Operation
Shift Handoff Failures = €12,000/Year in Re-Work
Night shift partial picks aren't documented. Day shift duplicates work or misses context. 3 handoff failures/week × €80 re-work cost (labor + reshipping) × 52 weeks = €12,480/year. Sticky notes fall behind desks. Verbal handoffs get forgotten. Same problems resurface every shift change.
Missed Carrier Cutoffs = €8,000/Year in Expedited Shipping
FedEx pickup at 4pm. Priority orders still in picking queue at 3:30pm. 2 missed cutoffs/week × €75 expedite cost × 52 weeks = €7,800/year. Plus client anger when 'guaranteed next day' becomes 'we upgraded to overnight at our cost.' Nobody sees the bottleneck until it's too late.
Untracked Exceptions = €15,000/Year in Hidden Costs
Wrong item shipped, damaged in packing, inventory discrepancy—you fix each one but never track patterns. Same picker makes same mistake weekly. Same SKU gets damaged repeatedly. 5 unresolved systemic issues × €3,000/year each = €15,000 in preventable problems that nobody root-causes.
Client Escalations = 156 Hours/Year Fire-Fighting
Client emails: 'Where's my order?' Operations manager spends 30 minutes investigating, responding. 3 escalations/week × 30 min × 52 weeks = 156 hours/year. At €35/hour loaded cost = €5,460 in reactive support that could be proactive visibility. Plus the relationship damage.

Operations Visibility That Spans Every Shift
Digital Shift Handoff Board
Outgoing shift documents incomplete work, known issues, priority flags. Incoming shift sees exactly what needs attention first. Handoff notes persist—no more lost sticky notes. Supervisor reviews handoff quality. Accountability is clear when things fall through.
Priority Queue with Carrier Cutoff Alerts
Orders sorted by carrier pickup time, not just entry time. 2-hour warning when priority orders aren't in pick queue. Real-time dashboard shows picking progress vs. cutoff deadlines. Spot bottlenecks at 2pm, not 3:45pm when it's too late.
Exception Tracking with Root Cause Analysis
Every exception logged: wrong item, damaged, short ship, inventory variance. Tag by picker, SKU, client, cause category. Weekly exception report shows patterns. Turn 'John mispicks SKU-4892 every week' into a training fix. Turn 'SKU-4892 gets damaged repeatedly' into a packaging fix.
Client Portal with Real-Time Visibility
Clients log in to see their order status, shipment tracking, exception history. They check the portal before emailing you. Proactive updates reduce reactive fire-fighting. Monthly fulfillment scorecards build trust with performance data.
These solutions work together. Try them today.

Frequently Asked Questions
Still have questions? Contact us at customer.service@gitscrum.com
Does this replace our WMS or ShipStation?
No. Your WMS handles inventory locations and quantities. ShipStation handles shipping labels and carrier integration. GitScrum handles the human coordination layer: who's doing what, what's blocked, what's the handoff status, where are the patterns in exceptions. It's the visibility layer that connects your systems.
How do warehouse floor associates access this?
Mobile-friendly interface works on tablets and smartphones. Associates update task status from the floor—no running to a computer. Shift leads see progress in real-time. You can use shared tablets at workstations or workers' personal devices with the web app.
Can we track exceptions by client, SKU, or picker?
Yes. Tag every exception with multiple dimensions: which client, which SKU, which picker, which shift, which cause category. Weekly reports show patterns. 'SKU-4892 has 3x higher damage rate' becomes actionable packaging change. 'Picker John has 4x higher mispick rate on Zone 3' becomes targeted training.
What about multi-client fulfillment visibility?
Each client can have their own portal view showing only their orders, exceptions, and performance metrics. You see everything; they see only what's relevant to them. Monthly fulfillment scorecards are generated per client automatically.
