The problem

Every pallet leaves the warehouse carrying invisible fines.

Explore the pallet. Each marker is a compliance mistake we find in real deliveries — priced at the fine retailers typically charge for it.

Common pallet mistakes — tap to price

One non-compliant pallet can easily cost hundreds of euros — and most suppliers ship thousands per year.

Our solution

Three ways to stop paying for the same mistakes.

Start with a snapshot, train the floor, or hand the whole problem to us. Every engagement is built on your own fine data.

How it works

From raw fine data to lasting savings.

A fixed sequence, not a consulting arc. Each step ends with something concrete on the table.

01

Data Collection

We gather fine notices, settlement files and delivery data — read-only, no IT project.

02

Analysis

Every fine is classified and priced by retailer, warehouse and product line.

03

Root Cause Detection

We trace fines back to the wrap, the label, the slot or the process that caused them.

04

Recommendations

Clear, prioritised fixes — ranked by savings, effort and speed of implementation.

05

Savings & Continuous Improvement

Fines fall, stay down and are monitored — with early warnings when new patterns appear.

Why work with us

Built for the loading dock, reported for the boardroom.

No upfront costs

The first audit pays for itself or you don't pay. Simple as that.

Works with all major retailers

Grocery, discount and wholesale — every compliance programme, one process.

Fast onboarding

First insights within two weeks. No software installation, no new workflow.

Independent analysis

We work for the supplier — never for the retailer, a carrier or a software vendor.

Data-driven recommendations

Every fix is priced against the fines it prevents. No opinions, just evidence.

Logistics specialists

We've stood on the dock. We know how a pallet is wrapped — and how it's fined.

Executive reporting

One page a month: what it cost, what we fixed, what's next. Board-ready.

Continuous optimisation

Retailer requirements change. Your compliance keeps up — automatically.

What we typically uncover

Inside a real analysis.

The same patterns appear at almost every supplier we audit. The difference is whether anyone is measuring them.

  • Repeated foil overhang issues
  • Wrong label positioning
  • Incorrect pallet heights
  • Damaged transport units
  • Missing documentation
  • Packaging inconsistencies

Two-minute assessment

How exposed are you?

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.
