Retail compliance has become a growing challenge for CPG brands selling through major retailers. From OTIF requirements and routing guides to EDI, ASNs, labeling, pallet standards, and appointment scheduling, every retailer brings its own set of requirements, and every compliance failure can impact margins and operations.
ODW Logistics’ Retail Compliance Guide for CPG Brands provides a practical look at today’s retail compliance landscape and the challenges brands face as they scale. The guide breaks down key requirements across major retailers including Walmart, Target, Kroger, CVS, Walgreens, and Costco, while highlighting common causes of chargebacks, deductions, and delivery failures.
It also explores how retail consolidation can help brands simplify compliance by consolidating LTL shipments into full truckloads and helping manage routing, appointment scheduling, ASN submission, labeling, documentation, and other retailer-specific requirements.
Readers will learn what to look for in a retail consolidation partner, how to evaluate their current compliance performance, and how to build a more proactive, compliance-first supply chain. The guide is designed for CPG supply chain and operations professionals looking to reduce compliance risk, protect margins, and create a stronger foundation for retail growth.
