Who is authorized to use the DSD system for receiving product?

The DSD (Direct Store Delivery) system is specifically designed for the receiving and management of products delivered directly to the store by vendors. In a retail setting, the responsibility for properly handling and managing these deliveries typically falls on a designated individual known as the receiver.

The receiver is trained in the procedures necessary to ensure that products are accurately received, accounted for, and properly stored. They play a critical role in tracking inventory, verifying shipments against orders, and ensuring that all products comply with the store's quality standards. This team member has the knowledge of the system and the authority to input and manage the receiving process, which is why the receiver is the only staff member authorized to use the DSD system.

In contrast, other staff members, including the store manager, cashiers, or general store staff, might not have the specific training or authority to handle the DSD system, which is critical for maintaining the integrity and accuracy of inventory management within the store.
