[Audio] As expected, claims can have several impacts on the business:.

[Audio] Loss of income. If a client is very dissatisfied with us, we could lose the delivery contract from the client as they take their business to a competitor.
[Audio] Financial Impact. If we uphold the claim, we have to pay out to the client/consumer.

Leighton Buzzard independent subcontractors. Magna Park. Rhenus Home Delivery Drivers. and Final Mile delivery teams. All percentages show how much that section payout is as part of the whole claims payout for that year. In 2023 Rhenus Home Delivery paid out a total claims amount of £95,500. This is a 36.2% decrease from 2022 but still a lot more than we want to be paying out!.
[Audio] This is how much we paid out in claims, during 2023, to which client. The percentage figure is how much from the total 2023 claims paid we paid to that individual client. The top four companies are all claims for items that were damaged or were not able to be located. These combined total £68,137 which is 71.3% of all our claims for 2023. The claims for Rem-fit and Noa Home were because we labelled the products wrong meaning this cost is the cost to put right..
