What is a routing guide audit?
A routing guide audit is a review of your current UNFI or KeHE routing requirements against how your freight actually ships: your carrier, your appointment process, your pallet and labeling setup, and your documentation. Fr8topia does the audit at no cost and with no obligation to book freight with us.
What does the audit cover?
The audit checks your routing compliance against the distributor's current guide, your pallet and labeling setup, your ASN and BOL process, and your delivery appointment scheduling. For temperature-controlled freight, it also checks your reefer carrier's equipment and temperature documentation, the same documentation failures covered in what triggers KeHE documentation chargebacks.
Does the audit cover refrigerated/reefer LTL shipments?
Yes. Whether you ship ambient dry goods or full truckload reefer freight, the audit reviews the same routing, labeling, and documentation points, plus the temperature control and recordkeeping that cold chain carriers need under the FDA's Sanitary Transportation Rule. If you also store product in cold storage before it ships, we will look at how that documentation carries through to the trailer.
Who is this for?
Built for natural and organic CPG brands shipping into UNFI or KeHE, whether you are preparing for your first purchase order or trying to figure out why chargebacks keep showing up on a distributor you have shipped into for years.
