Has anyone found CLTD or CSCP improves buyer-side logistics — think cleaner ASNs, fewer split POs, faster DC turns? I manage flow from vendors to 38 stores and one DC; after a rough Q3 with 6% OTIF misses and some 856 gaps, I’m eyeing a winter course and want real outcomes you saw (lead-time variance, chargebacks, shelf availability).
I got more buyer-side wins from CSCP than CLTD — , we were sitting near that 6% OTIF miss too, and adding a vendor scorecard plus an ‘856 flight check’ in onboarding cut lead-time variance about 10% and cleaned ASNs. Concrete step: make vendors pass single-carton and full-pallet 856 tests that map pack-level to PO lines before first ship; that alone reduced split POs and DC chargebacks. If DC turns are the main target, CLTD helps more on carrier/slotting, but for 38-store buyer flow CSCP paid faster — what EDI/TMS are you on?
But for buyer-side fixes like your 856 gaps and that about 6% OTIF miss, CSCP moved the needle more for me than CLTD at a 40‑store/1‑DC scale. We set a simple rule — “ASN by T‑12h to the appt or it’s an OTIF miss + auto chargeback” — and paired it with a PO line consolidation threshold; split POs drive me nuts, and this cut them and gave us a 3–4 pt OTIF lift in a quarter. Small caveat: if most misses are carrier/appointment friction, CLTD’s transport depth helps; @mateo2627 did the ASN cutoff matter more for you than carrier lead‑time buffers?
