Your key inventory is damaged in transit. How will you salvage the situation and prevent future losses?

Follow all protocol to act inmediatly and claim the insurance .If inventory was totally sold revise the contract and ho over the clauses that may apply such as due diligence to avoid any suings .Renegotiate terms of delivery with affected customers .

First, conduct a thorough inspection to assess the damage, documenting every detail with notes and photos. Transparency is key, so quickly inform all stakeholders, from the supply chain team to valued customers, keeping everyone in the loop. Next, coordinate with the insurance company and file a claim with all necessary evidence. Reach out to suppliers and transport partners to discuss compensation and replacement options. To keep things moving, expedite orders for replacement inventory and prioritize fulfilling pending orders with available stock.

If my key inventory is damaged during transit, the first thing to do is to first determine the level of damage and if anything can be salvaged. Start with full documentation collection (take detailed pictures of all inventory, take notes of damaged goods vs salvageable goods, etc.) and also take note of how the goods were damaged. Was it the drivers fault? Did it get damaged during international transit?

Fazer uma avaliação prévia da situação, saber o que causou danos do estoque, renegociar e propor solução urgente, comunicar aos clientes e accionar o seguro.

Nothing is certain; damaged goods can happen to any shipment. It doesn't mean that it's a pleasant experience, but reality is reality. Take careful notes on the level of damage and also relay how the damage happened to the goods to the customer. Before a solution is looked for, the customer is key so let them also know the situation and that you are on top of it on finding a solution.

Upon seeing the damaged goods and how the damage occurred, try to figure out how to prevent future occurrences. Did the goods shift during transit? Explore a new method of packaging and storing of goods. Was the goods damaged by outside environmental conditions (i.e rain, humidity, cold, etc.)? Change the covers of the goods to a more weather-resistant cover.

Improve the process by breaking down each step of the process. Is the logistics company you are using not doing a good and thorough job? Perhaps the company you are using is not using reliable equipment. Whenever an incident occurs, always keep the mindset of that it can happen again and not a "it's a one time thing; it won't happen again."

A mitigação de riscos é uma maneira de garantir a menor perda possível, principalmente quando se trata por exemplo de uma carga já pronta em transporte, ou produzida sob encomenda, uma vez que o orçamento x muitas vezes já acertado com o comprador não levou em conta erros de percurso que não deveriam acontecer, mas que se não houver a devida atenção podem encarecer o produto a ponto inclusive de gerar prejuízo ao invés de lucro, e a sua recorrência pode por toda a empresa em risco.

O seguro cabe em qualquer circunstância, mas pra uma empresa, principalmente, uma vez que o valor empregado mensalmente nessa proteção as vezes corresponde aí a menos de um dia trabalhado, e garante, sob as condições adequadas, todas as possíveis necessidades pra garantir a manutenção da empresa em diversos eventos, como no repasse sucessório, perda de um dos sócios, perda de carga, roubo de estoque, entre outras fatalidades.
