Instructions on how to use the WMS are provided upon the Company’s acceptance of Simpl’s Services. The Inbound shall include an itemized list of each Stock-Keeping Unit (SKU). When Simpl receives goods for which an Inbound has not been provided in advance in accordance with this Agreement, Simpl may, at its sole and reasonable discretion, quarantine the entire shipment of such goods until the Company provides the correct Inbound. Simpl may perform all acts reasonably necessary in lieu of the Inbound and charge a fee of $50.00 to Company to release the goods from quarantine.

B. Receiving. Simpl shall be open for receipt of Products from 10:00 AM to 5:00 PM (local warehouse time) each Business Day. Upon arriving at the Simpl warehouse, all goods will be moved to the receiving inspection area to be checked for compliance with Requirements for Inbound Product, as specified below. Company shall use reasonable efforts to ensure that items delivered to Simpl comply with the below Requirements for Inbound Products. Simpl shall compare the pallet and case quantities listed on the incoming paperwork to the actual goods physically received by Simpl, but will not verify the quantities inside the individual cases delivered. The Company may be notified of any discrepancies between the Inbound and the physically received goods. All discrepancies will be documented and logged. Any exterior physical damage noted upon receipt will also be reported to the Company.

The delivery address for each warehouse is listed below. Company is required to schedule an appointment for all carriers and truckload carriers at least 24 hours in advance. Simpl is not liable for any fees associated with refused shipments if an appointment isn’t made correctly. Inbounds should be addressed to:

Simpl Fulfillment C/O: Company Name
3714 Bluestein Drive
Suite 700
Austin, TX 78721


C. Requirements For Inbound Products.

  • Product must be received in ready-to-ship format unless previously discussed and confirmed by Simpl via email or other written confirmation.There must be only one SKU per master carton.
  • A barcode must appear on the exterior of the product. Each barcode must be a unique identifier for the product and will be applied to the unit of measure which is being sold by Company. (For example, if a bag of phone chargers is sold as a single unit, the carton must be barcoded on the exterior. If a shrink-wrapped bundle of 5 phone charger bags is being sold as a unit, the shrink-wrapped bundle must be barcoded.) If Simpl receives an inbound shipment of Products that it reasonably determines does not apply barcode(s) in accordance with this Paragraph, Simpl shall apply the barcodes to the Products, and $0.30 per label will be charged to Company unless otherwise agreed upon by Simpl and Company, in writing.
  • Product must be accompanied by a packing list with the following details (this can also be provided by Company in advance via an email to Simpl):

Company Name
Part Number or SKU (matching system part number)
Product Description (matching system description)
Packs Unit of Measure (e.g., 100 cases)
Total Quantity (e.g., 20 units per case)
PALLETS
Pallet dimensions must be as follows:

  1. The pallet must be a standard four-way entry 40” x 48” 
  2. Maximum height is 55” including pallet (Unless otherwise agreed upon in writing)
  3. Company shall be charged for additional labor on the part of Simpl at a rate of $45 per person-hour for any shipments or items that do not meet these requirements.

D. Inventory. Inventory is monitored via random cycle counts, performed at Simpl’s sole discretion. As described in the receiving processes above, the Products are not counted by individual piece upon arrival (unless otherwise specified). Simpl shall not be responsible for any variance in the total volume of any Product held in inventory unless such variance exceeds 3% of the total volume of such Product (per sellable-SKU) against the last total Product volume amount last communicated to the Company via the WMS  online portal. A volume variance between 1% and 3% (from the incoming material receipt accuracy, as compared to the packing list on the Product) is expected during cycle counting.

Through the incoming inspection processes and random inspections, variations to the receipt quantity that are found will be communicated to the Company, and corrective action may be requested. The Company’s failure to provide corrective action or failure to provide Simpl with PO or Shipment notification via the WMS online portal will negatively impact inventory accuracy.

Additional or annual physical inventory counts can be scheduled on request and will incur an additional cost to the Company at the rate of $45 per person-hour.

Upon an Account becoming an Abandoned Account, Company immediately forfeits its rights of ownership of such Company’s Inventory up to the cumulative amount necessary for the payment of all Fees as well as any reasonable expenses incurred by Simpl for the preservation and storage of the Inventory or its sale. Inventory will become immediately unavailable to Company, and liquidation proceedings will begin. Company agrees that all Inventory liquidated shall be sold at the absolute discretion of Simpl and would be free and clear of liability and that Company assumes any liability therefore. Company has no rights to any liquidation proceeds arising from an Abandoned Account unless the amounts recovered through liquidation exceed the cumulative amount necessary for payment as stated above. Should the amounts recovered through liquidation be insufficient to cover the cumulative amounts above, the Company would remain liable for any pending Fees above and beyond the liquidation proceeds.
