26 00:09:44.797 ⇒ 00:09:53.700 Chuck Gross’s iPhone: Yeah, I. My name is Chuck. I run the distribution center in Yappank for pool parts to go as well as island swimming sales. I’ve worked for the company
27 00:09:54.000 ⇒ 00:09:58.970 Chuck Gross’s iPhone: since 2,006. I’ve been doing this for about 10 years now.
28 00:09:59.070 ⇒ 00:10:00.820 Chuck Gross’s iPhone: so we ship out.
29 00:10:01.090 ⇒ 00:10:09.639 Chuck Gross’s iPhone: you know. It started with just shipping out everything to end customers from here, and it’s evolved into multiple distribution centers with the
30 00:10:10.250 ⇒ 00:10:11.400 Chuck Gross’s iPhone: I’ll you know.
31 00:10:11.520 ⇒ 00:10:14.799 Chuck Gross’s iPhone: the lowest rates and just trying to. Finally.
32 00:10:14.860 ⇒ 00:10:21.739 Chuck Gross’s iPhone: you know, prioritize everything in the proper way. So we’ve come a very long way, and we’re gonna keep on chugging along.
33 00:10:23.080 ⇒ 00:10:27.229 suraj: Yeah, yeah, it’s nice meeting with you, Chuck. Looking forward to working with you.
34 00:10:29.310 ⇒ 00:10:30.200 Nicolas Sucari: Excellent.
35 00:10:30.530 ⇒ 00:10:33.390 Nicolas Sucari: Okay, let’s get into
36 00:10:33.440 ⇒ 00:10:44.189 Nicolas Sucari: business. So, Jack. We’ve been. I’ve been hearing about some issues with Eunice. I think Utam Utam is hearing the call, too. So
37 00:10:44.420 ⇒ 00:10:54.150 Nicolas Sucari: yeah, I think there was some issues yesterday about dupes duplicate orders, and some other stuff for importing orders into the platform right.
38 00:10:54.390 ⇒ 00:10:57.180 Chuck Gross’s iPhone: Yeah, that seems that there was.
39 00:10:58.150 ⇒ 00:11:05.229 Chuck Gross’s iPhone: Oh, there was an issue. It looks like it’s all on their side, because it was orders that
40 00:11:05.440 ⇒ 00:11:08.269 Chuck Gross’s iPhone: were automatically uploaded
41 00:11:08.280 ⇒ 00:11:10.800 Chuck Gross’s iPhone: to their wise program.
42 00:11:12.300 ⇒ 00:11:19.259 Chuck Gross’s iPhone: and then, you know, distribute it, however, and it looks like for some reason they double shipped some of those orders. I I don’t know why
43 00:11:19.750 ⇒ 00:11:28.580 Chuck Gross’s iPhone: they look like they were looking. It looked like, yeah, they were looking into it this morning, but they don’t really have an answer of how it could have happened, because there’s only one delivery notice
44 00:11:28.770 ⇒ 00:11:30.290 Chuck Gross’s iPhone: for each order.
45 00:11:31.020 ⇒ 00:11:37.929 Chuck Gross’s iPhone: So there’s not 2 separate orders, but there’s 2 separate bill of ladings and customers are getting 2 units. So it was definitely double shipments.
46 00:11:39.070 ⇒ 00:11:49.220 Nicolas Sucari: Yeah, okay, okay, yeah. I think we will need to ask Michael or Justin later, to see if they can. They they find out what what was going on.
47 00:11:49.740 ⇒ 00:11:50.460 Chuck Gross’s iPhone: Yeah, so.
48 00:11:52.260 ⇒ 00:11:53.559 Nicolas Sucari: Okay. That was.
49 00:11:53.560 ⇒ 00:11:55.570 Chuck Gross’s iPhone: That’s hopefully that’s resolved.
50 00:11:56.330 ⇒ 00:12:02.749 Uttam Kumaran: And then chuck there’s there’s still you email me about the split issue. I still have to look into that today.
51 00:12:02.750 ⇒ 00:12:10.080 Chuck Gross’s iPhone: Yeah, that was just a 1. That program seems to be working fine. I don’t know why, all of a sudden that one random order didn’t split.
52 00:12:10.550 ⇒ 00:12:15.080 Uttam Kumaran: Yeah, I’m gonna look into it. We have a lot of like, it’s a lot better easier to debug now. So I’ll.
53 00:12:15.080 ⇒ 00:12:16.020 Chuck Gross’s iPhone: Okay. Steve.
54 00:12:16.020 ⇒ 00:12:16.829 Uttam Kumaran: What happened?
55 00:12:17.400 ⇒ 00:12:22.100 Chuck Gross’s iPhone: Yeah. And then there was a couple that didn’t tag last night, either. It was like everything took the night off.
56 00:12:22.100 ⇒ 00:12:22.880 Uttam Kumaran: Yeah.
57 00:12:22.880 ⇒ 00:12:30.989 Chuck Gross’s iPhone: An order came across this morning and tagged fine. So I’m just. I’m just. I figured the more examples I can send the you know the better. We can update everything.
58 00:12:30.990 ⇒ 00:12:32.460 Uttam Kumaran: Okay, yeah, yeah, perfect.
59 00:12:34.710 ⇒ 00:12:35.570 Nicolas Sucari: Perfect. Yeah.
60 00:12:35.570 ⇒ 00:12:45.689 Chuck Gross’s iPhone: And I know we didn’t. We didn’t finalize with them the the subbing models. So you know, for them to understand how models get substituted.
61 00:12:45.910 ⇒ 00:12:51.570 Chuck Gross’s iPhone: They did run tests 2 nights ago. I saw both of the orders. So I guess we can just touch
62 00:12:52.100 ⇒ 00:12:57.750 Chuck Gross’s iPhone: Faith adjusting later on on that as well, and see if that you know. If his test was successful and you’d be ready to go.
63 00:12:59.160 ⇒ 00:13:07.140 Nicolas Sucari: Yeah, perfect. Yeah. Because you created those 2 orders that he was asking for testing. And we didn’t receive any answer on that one right?
64 00:13:07.360 ⇒ 00:13:11.399 Chuck Gross’s iPhone: Right. No, I saw the orders either last night or this morning. I forgot when.
65 00:13:12.100 ⇒ 00:13:15.159 Chuck Gross’s iPhone: but I saw both orders, so both orders definitely went through.
66 00:13:15.210 ⇒ 00:13:19.199 Chuck Gross’s iPhone: so I guess once he takes a look at it, we’ll we’ll go from there.
67 00:13:19.890 ⇒ 00:13:20.560 Nicolas Sucari: Okay.
68 00:13:21.100 ⇒ 00:13:38.550 Nicolas Sucari: okay, perfect. Yeah. And then we had one other thing that we discussed last week, I think, or the previous one about the unleashed and 0 integration that the tax mapping file that we need to replace. Were you able to talk to, I think it was Pamela.
69 00:13:38.550 ⇒ 00:13:48.000 Chuck Gross’s iPhone: Yeah, I got, I got access to 0. I have to just figure out how the hell to get in there. And then I’ll send you guys the login, and then you can go from there.
70 00:13:48.680 ⇒ 00:13:49.370 Nicolas Sucari: Okay.
71 00:13:49.370 ⇒ 00:13:51.860 Chuck Gross’s iPhone: I have it, though I got a few. I got it a few days
72 00:13:52.320 ⇒ 00:14:00.660 Chuck Gross’s iPhone: years ago. I’ve just been a little busy, and it gave me some kind of error when I tried to log in. I was like, with the with the authenticator app, or whatever I don’t. I don’t like that app.
73 00:14:02.015 ⇒ 00:14:02.550 Nicolas Sucari: Okay.
74 00:14:03.220 ⇒ 00:14:04.060 Nicolas Sucari: okay?
75 00:14:04.550 ⇒ 00:14:08.870 Nicolas Sucari: Yeah. And I think, we don’t have, like any other open
76 00:14:08.980 ⇒ 00:14:27.139 Nicolas Sucari: issue or project that we’re working on right now on that stuff we can start working on, probably next week, on creating a dashboard to check the differences between, where are we shipping? With the new warehouses. But apart from that, I don’t
77 00:14:27.200 ⇒ 00:14:30.520 Nicolas Sucari: know if we have like anything else requested from you.
78 00:14:30.830 ⇒ 00:14:31.970 Chuck Gross’s iPhone: I was. No.
79 00:14:32.410 ⇒ 00:14:32.990 Chuck Gross’s iPhone: we’re going to.
80 00:14:32.990 ⇒ 00:14:33.330 Nicolas Sucari: Yeah.
81 00:14:33.330 ⇒ 00:14:37.980 Chuck Gross’s iPhone: Start, though looking to place, purchase orders for 2,025.
82 00:14:38.540 ⇒ 00:14:39.360 Nicolas Sucari: Okay.
83 00:14:39.360 ⇒ 00:14:48.099 Chuck Gross’s iPhone: So we want to ship, you know. Make sure we ship ship the proper quantities to the proper distribution centers now that they’re all set up.
84 00:14:49.500 ⇒ 00:14:54.080 Chuck Gross’s iPhone: So we’re gonna need. We’re gonna need to take sales data from the last
85 00:14:54.690 ⇒ 00:14:56.710 Chuck Gross’s iPhone: 24 months pretty much
86 00:14:56.930 ⇒ 00:14:58.949 Chuck Gross’s iPhone: and see what sold
87 00:14:59.090 ⇒ 00:15:07.670 Chuck Gross’s iPhone: where you know where it’s sold, so that we could try to decipher the best course of action for shipping the containers to the different distribution centers.
88 00:15:08.330 ⇒ 00:15:10.010 Nicolas Sucari: Okay, perfect.
89 00:15:10.170 ⇒ 00:15:12.010 Chuck Gross’s iPhone: So I’ll just
90 00:15:12.520 ⇒ 00:15:20.229 Chuck Gross’s iPhone: well, yeah, once we’re once we’re ready to roll out, I’ll send out. I’ll send you guys an email to see what data we need. And then we can work on building the purchase order from there.
91 00:15:21.370 ⇒ 00:15:28.239 Nicolas Sucari: Perfect. Yeah, yeah, I think we can. We can work on that. We have, like all of the data we can check. Where? Where the
92 00:15:28.662 ⇒ 00:15:36.639 Nicolas Sucari: shipping for the past 24 months, and then decide on where to send all of the inventory to the warehouses. Yep.
93 00:15:36.640 ⇒ 00:15:48.309 Chuck Gross’s iPhone: Okay, yep, that yeah, that sounds good. And then last year I think we did. I gotta double check. But it was like 8. It was about 15 containers of heat pumps total like to Jacksonville.
94 00:15:48.770 ⇒ 00:15:52.120 Chuck Gross’s iPhone: so that’ll end up getting split up a little more.
95 00:15:52.430 ⇒ 00:15:56.869 Chuck Gross’s iPhone: But they’ll probably just be 2 shipments total, like a shipment in the spring, and then we’ll do a shipment
96 00:15:57.080 ⇒ 00:15:59.820 Chuck Gross’s iPhone: like in the summer for the rest of the year.
97 00:16:01.190 ⇒ 00:16:01.910 Nicolas Sucari: Okay.
98 00:16:02.460 ⇒ 00:16:05.419 Chuck Gross’s iPhone: So probably most likely just break it into 2 different segments.
99 00:16:07.300 ⇒ 00:16:09.090 Nicolas Sucari: Okay, yeah, perfect
100 00:16:09.883 ⇒ 00:16:14.206 Nicolas Sucari: great utumn. Do you know, if we have something else?
101 00:16:17.300 ⇒ 00:16:18.620 Nicolas Sucari: I don’t think so.
102 00:16:18.620 ⇒ 00:16:19.790 Uttam Kumaran: No, I think that’s it.
103 00:16:20.440 ⇒ 00:16:21.030 Nicolas Sucari: Yeah.
104 00:16:21.030 ⇒ 00:16:24.579 Chuck Gross’s iPhone: Okay. So I’ll send you guys the 0 information over in a little bit.
105 00:16:24.780 ⇒ 00:16:29.900 Chuck Gross’s iPhone: and then we’ll just we’ll touch base on all the other loose ends we have tied up before we start new projects.
106 00:16:30.310 ⇒ 00:16:31.859 Uttam Kumaran: Yeah, yeah, perfect.
107 00:16:32.660 ⇒ 00:16:33.460 Nicolas Sucari: Excellent.
108 00:16:33.540 ⇒ 00:16:39.900 Nicolas Sucari: and let us know when you have like that information you’d like, so that we can start working on that analysis
109 00:16:39.910 ⇒ 00:16:41.760 Nicolas Sucari: for the purchase order and.
110 00:16:42.130 ⇒ 00:16:45.656 Nicolas Sucari: And start taking a look with Sureash on that one, too. Okay?
