1) Please describe the seasonality of the orders
2) How much higher should we expect the peak numbers to be over the daily numbers given on page 27
3) Page 27 numbers do not correlate correctly. For example, wholesale lines (2354) divided by wholesale orders (1589) equals 1.48, but lines per order on the chart are 1.58. Are we interpreting the numbers incorrectly?
4) For Cardinal Business what percentage, if any, are FULL pallet picks?
5) May we see some actual bills of lading for each line of business?
6) Why are cases per order (EAST DC 42.5) (WEST DC 86.0) so very different between the DC's?
7) May we get a current inventory snapshot by SKU that includes cases per sku on the listing?
8) Analysis indicates on average you are storing 2.48 (EAST) / 1.03 (WEST) pallets per SKU. Is this accurate?
9) Do Retail, Wholesale and Food Service have different subsets of the 11,216 total skus that they deal with?

1)Full case order flow is heavier during peak volumes by percentage vs split case ( sept – Nov) Holiday product inbound and outbound are heavy in larger distribution within shorter time frame. More orders will drop Sept-Nov due to 40% increase of outbound volume due to seasonal shipping
2)40% increase
3)See listed below
But don't attempt to divide to many other figures as the figures are not interdependent in all cases.

4) 65% full pallet picks yet 100% of cases full case picks
5)Provide me an email address and I can scan in pdf file
6) Food service product had higher case counts per pallet with higher volume on the west coast for this business unit.
7) Bid on the pallet footprint / volume stated in RFP.
8) Yes due to higher Wholesale volume on the east cost need more product as noted by total pallets to store in the warehouse for the customers serviced.
9) Yes However, this is not a cost driver of difference as regards the RFP quotation
