3nodus helps suppliers identify, analyze and eliminate costly retailer deductions through data-driven logistics intelligence.
The problem
Explore the pallet. Each marker is a compliance mistake we find in real deliveries — priced at the fine retailers typically charge for it.
One non-compliant pallet can easily cost hundreds of euros — and most suppliers ship thousands per year.
Our solution
Start with a snapshot, train the floor, or hand the whole problem to us. Every engagement is built on your own fine data.
We analyse the last three months of retailer fines, identify recurring issues and estimate how much money could have been saved.
Hands-on training at your warehouse — built around the mistakes your own fine data shows.
3nodus completely takes over the retailer fine management process — analysis, communication and prevention, month after month.
How it works
A fixed sequence, not a consulting arc. Each step ends with something concrete on the table.
We gather fine notices, settlement files and delivery data — read-only, no IT project.
Every fine is classified and priced by retailer, warehouse and product line.
We trace fines back to the wrap, the label, the slot or the process that caused them.
Clear, prioritised fixes — ranked by savings, effort and speed of implementation.
Fines fall, stay down and are monitored — with early warnings when new patterns appear.
Why work with us
The first audit pays for itself or you don't pay. Simple as that.
Grocery, discount and wholesale — every compliance programme, one process.
First insights within two weeks. No software installation, no new workflow.
We work for the supplier — never for the retailer, a carrier or a software vendor.
Every fix is priced against the fines it prevents. No opinions, just evidence.
We've stood on the dock. We know how a pallet is wrapped — and how it's fined.
One page a month: what it cost, what we fixed, what's next. Board-ready.
Retailer requirements change. Your compliance keeps up — automatically.
What we typically uncover
The same patterns appear at almost every supplier we audit. The difference is whether anyone is measuring them.
Fines across a typical first audit, traced to the failure that caused them. The top two causes are almost always fixable within a quarter.
Two-minute assessment
Five questions, no email required. We'll classify your operation and point you to the right starting service.
No. We work from the fine notices and settlement files you already receive — exported once, read-only. There's nothing to install.
First insights within two weeks of receiving data. Most clients see the fine run-rate fall within the first quarter.
The Fine Audit has no upfront cost — it pays for itself in identified savings or you don't pay. Workshops and Monthly Fine Management are quoted after the audit, sized to your volume.
All major grocery, discount and wholesale programmes across the Nordics and DACH. If a retailer fines you, we can read it, dispute it and prevent it.
