Rules checked before shipment
KeHE routing rules, appointment requirements, pallet specs, temperature bands, and barcode thresholds are validated against each PO before it ships. Violations are caught upstream.
Compliance
Prevent the deduction before it happens.
Every compliance violation that reaches the dock becomes a fee, a fine, or a chargeback. The routing guide, fee schedule, EDI requirements, and appointment rules are checked before anything ships — not after it's too late.
Capabilities
What EasyOps does for compliance.
Fee schedule awareness
Every fee amount and threshold from the current KeHE IBR Fee Schedule and P&P Fee Schedule is tracked. When a fee changes, the system knows before your next shipment.
EDI deadline monitoring
The 855 due within 24 hours, the 753 due 3 business days before pickup, the 856 before ship — each EDI document has a deadline. Missing one triggers a compliance event.
UDR response windows
A 48-hour response window on unloading discrepancy reports. Miss it and the DC's count becomes the only record. EasyOps tracks the window and surfaces the response deadline.
Real scenarios
Before and after.
The $250 no-show fee that was the buyer's reschedule
Before
The scheduling system shows a missed appointment. The IBR Fee Schedule applies a $250 no-show fee automatically. The email where the buyer rescheduled lives in someone's inbox.
With EasyOps
EasyOps connects the appointment record to the email communication. The buyer's reschedule is flagged as exonerating evidence. The fee is disputed with the thread attached.
The 3% barcode non-compliance fee no one saw coming
Before
KeHE introduced a 3% case-barcode non-compliance fee below the 95% scan-rate threshold in November 2025, with a 90-day grace period. Three months later, it starts hitting invoices.
With EasyOps
The fee schedule change is tracked. Barcode scan rates are monitored per DC. An at-risk PO is flagged before it ships so the label issue is corrected upstream.

Frequently asked
Questions about compliance.
What compliance rules does EasyOps check?+
KeHE routing rules (IBR Guide), scheduling and appointment requirements (C3 Reservations), pallet and temperature specifications, barcode scan-rate thresholds, EDI document deadlines (855, 753, 856, 810), and fee schedule rates. Each is version-tracked against the current published documents.
How does prevention reduce deductions?+
Most compliance deductions are triggered by a timing, documentation, or routing failure that was knowable before the shipment left the dock. Checking the rules upstream means fewer violations reach the receiving team, which means fewer fees, fines, and chargebacks.
Does this replace my compliance team?+
No. It gives your compliance team — or the ops person who handles compliance on top of everything else — the rule awareness and violation alerts they need to act before the fee posts. The judgment still belongs to your team.
