1. Purpose of this document To outline the how to go about ordering crates, using the online SAVI website and managing your crate account. 2. Important Information Logtek have been engaged by Coles to manage their crates. Coles own the crates and Logtek wash the crates and manage the crate pool – we ensure that there are adequate stocks of crates in the correct location to meet demand. Coles maintain all financial control. They invoice suppliers for crate usage and manage all contractual arrangements with suppliers for crates. The crates are washed using a fully automated system – there is minimal human involvement. You are more than welcome to come and visit your closest depot. If you are interested please contact the Customer Service Team to arrange. 3. Key Contacts Company Name Phone Email Logtek Customer Service 1800 619 044 cratesrus@logtek.com.au Team Coles Shefali Desai 03 9829 5569 Shefali.Desai@coles.com.au Billing and Contract Queries We are here to help – so please don’t hesitate to contact us. You can also refer to our website – www.cratesrus.com.au for the latest information. 4. Definitions/ Terminology Term Meaning SUPPLIER You, the grower or agent who supplies produce to Coles RRU Logtek or Third Party Depot where crates are dispatched from Logtek to the Supplier. Logtek RRUs is also the place where crate washing takes place SAVI The Asset Management/Tracking System. The web based system that stores your crate account details and tracks the movement of crates. Check In The transaction type in SAVI when you send crates to Coles (crate dehire) Check Out The transaction type in SAVI when you reverse an incorrect checkin, or process a rejection transaction back on to your account.

5. Frequently Asked Questions How much notice do I need to give when placing my order? You need to plan your orders. The SAVI system will only allow you to place orders 4 days ahead. However, in special circumstances, orders can be fast-tracked by contacting the Customer Service Team. How do I get my crates? Logtek do not deliver crates. It is your (the suppliers) responsibility to collect the crates or engage a third party carrier to collect the crates on your behalf. You do not need to provide any paperwork, but you (or the carrier) needs to be able to quote the correct order number and know who they are collecting on behalf of. How many orders should I place and how many crates should I order? We encourage you to plan ahead and place orders in SAVI well in advance. You can place as many orders as you like – with the aim to order enough crates each week to last you 7 days. You then have the flexibility of contacting us closer to the pickup date to modify the order if necessary (change quantity, delay or cancel). We understand that your Coles orders can change dramatically from week to week, so we recommend that you place at least two orders a week: • One or more orders to cover your estimated/forecasted crate needs for the week • An additional order to cover for any potential last minute top up orders from Coles It is your responsibility to ensure that you forward plan and place your orders in SAVI. Can I change my order? Yes, just call us and you can modify the crate type or quantity or change the pickup date. Can I specify a particular day to pickup my crates? When you place the order in SAVI you specify the Requested Pickup Date. The order should be collected on this date. If you (or your carrier) are unable to collect the order on the requested date, please contact the Customer Service Team to advise. Do I have to come in a particular timeslot? No. You can come anytime during the date requested. Refer RRU Opening Times. What information do I need to supply the Logtek RRU as verification to collect the order? When you or your transport company picks up clean crates from the Logtek Depot, the driver will need to quote the order number of the load they are there to pickup (they don’t have to provide a hard copy printout, but some people find this useful). If it is a third party carrier, they must know the name of the supplier who they are collecting on behalf of. You also need to supply a Chep account number that the pallets need to be placed onto. (Alternatively, you can swap empty Chep pallets for the loaded ones). We recommend that you include the Chep Account number in the remarks section of the SAVI order when you place it. What happens if I come before the requested pickup date? If you arrive at the Logtek RRU before this date, we reserve the right to turn you away. If you require the crates before the requested pickup date to meet your Coles orders, then you just need to contact us on 1800 619 044 to request that the order be released early. Our team will assess the stock situation at the RRU as well as the inventory balance on your SAVI account and advise if early collection is possible.

What if I don’t collect my order on the requested pickup date? If the order is not collected on the requested pickup date the Customer Service Team will send you an email to notify you. The order will still be available for collection on the following day and if it is still not collected, we will cancel the order. What happens if I only collect part of what I ordered? You can collect the order in parts, as long as the whole is collected on the same day. If you only pickup part of the order, then the following day that order will be closed down and you will not be able to collect the remainder. A new order will need to be placed. How often do I need to perform “Checkins”? A check-in must be performed in ‘real time’ every time you send crates into the Coles DC. Your produce should be accompanied by the SAVI check-in HMMA. By performing check-ins, you are ensuring that the crates which are leaving your premises are recorded in SAVI. By maintaining your SAVI account, you are less likely to have discrepancies at stock take. What do I do if my crates have been rejected from the Coles DC? If you have received some crates back from the Coles DC you need to ensure that the crates are placed back onto your account. In order to do this, you need to process a SAVI Checkout. (Refer to Rejection Process) What type of transport is authorized to carry the crates? Only closed in transport is acceptable – ie. a "Closed Curtain" or “Box” type trailer. These are trailers which are completely covered and do not allow dust and water to contaminate the crates. If you use a carrier to collect crates on your behalf, you must specify this at the time of booking. "Flat-Bed" or open utes or trailers, will be turned back and asked to bring the correct type of trailer.

How much stock can I hold? For most products*, Coles have instructed Logtek to ensure that suppliers only hold 7 days worth of stock. We calculate this daily by looking at your current stock on hand and compare it to how many crates have been sent into Coles (total of SAVI checkins) in the previous 7 days. Example – If you currently have: 700 crates on your SAVI balance Have checked in 350 crates into Coles in the previous 7 day This will equate to holding 14 days worth of stock Logtek do not have visibility to future Coles orders, so there may be instances when you need to order more crates than you have been. We encourage you to keep in touch with us about your requirements. *some product lines are exempt from this 7 day rule and are allowed to hold 28 days of stock. This includes nuts, bananas, and avocadoes. Your contract with Coles and Crate Rate will be set up to reflect this. Why would Logtek call me to discuss my order? Logtek has been instructed by Coles to ensure that suppliers are holding only the stock they need to meet their orders (in most cases this is no more than 7 days worth of stock). If the figures we calculate daily indicate that you might be holding surplus stock, and you have placed an order for that crate type we may call you to discuss why you need those crates. If there is a reason why you need extra crates (eg, you are going on special) then please ensure that you communicate this to us. Communication is the key!! During peak periods, where crate demand is high, we might call you to reduce your order and request you pickup less crates more often. This method ensures that everybody has enough crates to meet their orders. If too many people request pickups on the same day we may call you to request you change your pickup date. This avoids truck congestion at the depots and reduces wait times. When do the crates come on to my account? At the time the order is collected from Logtek. When do I get charged for the crates? Coles run a weekly billing cycle. Depending on your contract the amount may be automatically deducted or you may receive an invoice. When do the crates come off my account? When you perform a checkin transaction in SAVI to de-hire the crates. Instructions on how to use the SAVI system to perform a checkin are included later in this document. What happens is SAVI/Internet is down? If the SAVI system is down, please wait an hour or so and then try again later. If there are any major interruptions to SAVI, Logtek will usually email you to advise. Otherwise, it is likely to be a temporary interruption. If you need to send crates into Coles and you can’t do a checkin, Coles will accept the produce with a manual checkin (a copy of this can be downloaded from the Logtek website – www.cratesrus.com.au). Just remember to go back into SAVI and enter that checkin once the system is available again.

Can I return crates to Logtek? Yes – you may have surplus crates, or have finished your season. The crates must be returned with the Crate Return Form (this can be downloaded from our website – www.cratesrus.com.au Note: If the process outlined on the form is not followed, then Logtek cannot guarantee that a credit claim will be raised to Coles on your behalf. When the crates are returned to Logtek the local depot will inspect the crates and • verify the quantity of crates that have been returned • determine if any crates are damaged All crates returned to Logtek are washed according to Logtek’s HACCP standards (they are re-washed even if they are still in their original pallet wrap). Provided the paperwork has been supplied (and the crates are eligble for a credit), Logtek will raise a credit claim on your behalf and forward to Coles for processing. Coles will process a credit to you for the hire charge of each crate but will also charge you a wash fee for each crate. This is currently $0.40 per crate, but is determined by Coles and subject to change. Note: only unused crates are eligble for a credit. If the crates have been used (eg – have had produce in them or have been rejected at Coles DC); they can be still be returned to Logtek, but a credit claim will not be processed. The cost of transporting the crates back to Logtek is the responsibility of you (the grower/ supplier). Any damaged crates will be reviewed on a case by case basis and you may be charged (replacement charge) for these crates depending on the circumstances. You should retain a copy of the paperwork for your records (to assist with account reconciliation during audits).

Can I transfer crates to another grower/supplier? Yes you can. There are a few options – if you are unsure which option best suits you then contact Logtek Customer Service to discuss. Grower to Grower Transfer – Financial – Processed by Logtek Before processing the transfer, we require written permission from both the sending and receiving grower confirming the following information: • Sending Grower • Receiving Confirmation • Crate Type • Crate Quantity • Financial Transaction • Agreement to the transfer Logtek remove the crates from the sending grower account. They are credited the hire charge via a credit claim sent to Coles by Logtek Logtek add the crates to the receiving grower account. They are charged the hire charge via a SAVI order Once we have written agreement from both parties Logtek completes the necessary SAVI transactions and emails both the sending and receiving parties with confirmation of the completion of the transfer and copies of the SAVI transacitons. Grower to Grower Transfer – NON-Financial – Processed by Logtek Before processing the transfer, we require written permission from both the sending and receiving grower confirming: • Sending Grower • Receiving Grower • Crate Type • Crate Quantity • NON-Financial Transaction • Agreement to the transfer Logtek remove the crates from the sending grower account. Logtek add the crates to the receiving grower account. Once we have written agreement from both parties Logtek completes the necessary SAVI transactions and emails both the sending and receiving parties with confirmation of the completion of the transfer and copies of the SAVI transacitons. Grower to Grower Transfer – NON-Financial – Processed by Growers This can be done without the intervention of Logtek and relies on each grower managing the transactions for their own accounts. Sending Grower removes the crates from their account by doing a checkin to the DC Receiving Grower adds the crates to their account by doing a checkout from the DC C:\Documents and Settings\sali\Local Settings\Temporary Internet Files\Content.Outlook\YHXJ2WA3\Supplier Reference Guide - Grower Site.doc REVISION 110607 Page 8
6. Other Stocktakes Coles conduct stocktakes twice a year. It is your contractual responsibility to ensure that your crate account is maintained to balance your physical stock. Some instructions on crate reconciliation have been included later in this document to assist you. You are liable to be charged $15 per crates for missing crates, so it is in your best interests to maintain your account. Crate Labelling • Do not apply adhesive labels directly onto the crate surface. • Adhesive labels can damage the crate washing machine by clogging up the machines filters. • Adhesive labels also spoil the appearance of the crate when it is used for product display purposes in Coles stores. • Grower’s tags should be inserted into the label holders on the short end of each crate. • Growers tags must be inserted into the end of the crate that will be facing outwards when the crate is stacked on a pallet. CHEP Account All suppliers should hold a Chep Account. All crates are supplied on Chep pallets and a valid Chep Account number (for either the supplier or their carrier) must be supplied when the crates are collected. Alternatively empty pallets can be swapped at the time of collection. SAVE this document We recommend that you print a copy of this guide and keep it close by. Also, SAVE A COPY to your desktop so that you will always have it for future reference. It will also be a handy tool to retrain any new staff members. Cross Training We also recommend that more than one person in your company is familiar with crate management and able to use SAVI so that if someone is sick or on holidays that you are still able to order crates and maintain your account.

7. Depot Hours & Contacts Refer www.cratesrus.com.au (Depot Details page) for the depot addresses, hours of operation and loading times. 8. Sending Crates to WA If you collect crates outside of WA and want to send them with produce into WA then you will need to ensure the following process is followed. • The crates being sent to WA must be collected from either o Melbourne o Sydney o Adelaide • You need to have your Crate Order SAVI HMMA stamped for WA Sanitation You do this by either: Writing “please stamp for WA Sanitation” in your order remarks when you place the order in SAVI OR Calling/emailing us with the order number and requesting we email/fax you a stamped copy • When you send your crates/produce to WA you need to include a copy of the stamped HMMA and the WA DAF Certificate that corresponds to the state of collection o If you need a copy of the DAF WA Certificates you can download these from our website (www.cratesrus.com.au) C:\Documents and Settings\sali\Local Settings\Temporary Internet Files\Content.Outlook\YHXJ2WA3\Supplier Reference Guide - Grower Site.doc REVISION 110607 Page 10

10. USING SAVI The system for crate management is web based (online on the internet). You must use Internet Explorer as your web browser because the SAVI software is not compatible with any other web browser. You will also need to ensure that Java is enabled. Java is a free third party software which allows you to use Java based programs on Internet Explorer. The software and installation details can be found at: http://www.java.com/en/download/index.jsp SAVI is not compatible with all versions of Java. If you are receiving error messages while using SAVI then contact Logtek for assistance. Once you have installed Java, you will be able to use the SAVI system by pasting the below link in the address bar of your Internet Explorer and hitting the enter key. (We recommend you save this in your “Favourites” on your browser) www.mats.colesgroup.com.au SAVI can be used on multiple PC's provided you have Java installed on them.

13. How to checkin crates? A checkin is done to de-hire crates off your account. A copy of the printout must be sent along with your produce into the Coles DC. Step Process 1. On left hand side menu click on the cross beside folder called Manage Assets 2. Click on the cross beside folder called Manage Commodity Assets between Sites 3. Click Check In 4. In the Customer Ref No: field type in relevant reference number that will be identifiable to you. TIP We recommend that you include the initials of your company name as part of your checkin reference number. This helps to keep the reference numbers identifiable to you and will avoid the chance that some other company may also use the same reference number. Eg. If you company name is Apples Are Us and you are checking in delivery docket 1225 then then checkin reference number would be AAU1225 DO NOT USE COMMAS OR APOSTROPHES etc 5. In the Destination Site field enter the relevant DC code D9250XF for Sydney DC D9450XF for Melbourne DC D9300XF for Brisbane DC D9320XF for Adelaide DC D9280XF for Townsville DC D9330XF for Perth DC D9460XF for Tasmania DC Note: Destination Zone field will be automatically populated 6. The Remarks field is optional and can be used to describe more relevant details of the transaction. 7. In the Quantity field type in the amount of crates being sent to the DC against each crate type Note: Only record the crate quantity in SAVI. Do not record any cardboard transactions in SAVI 8. Click Check In 9. A new screen will appear confirming the transaction has taken place and will give you the option to Open or Save the corresponding HMMA. 10. Click Open 11. Print 2 copies – one for your records and one to go with the produce. NOTE: If the system won’t allow you to checkin and advises that the reference number already exists you should try once more (as occasionally the system glitches when there are too many people logged on). Note: the system will not duplicate the checkin if this error message appears. If you get the same error message on the second attempt then it means that this exact reference number has already been used (perhaps by another company if you are sure that no one else at your company has already done the checkin). You should change the reference number and try again.

15. How to reverse a checkin? This process would be applicable when a. You duplicated a checkin and need to reverse one b. You have done a checkin and then the crates never left site (eg – Coles cancelled the order) Important Information: When you reverse the transaction we recommend that you put ITR/ and then the reference number of the incorrect transaction. Eg. If the checkin you entered was AAU56999 then the reversal should be ITR/AAU56999 ITR stands for Incorrect Transaction Reversal This method provides a consistent and clear audit trail and makes account reconciliation easy. This is because you can match up the reversal with the incorrect transaction and also see the replacement transaction. Step Process 1. Make a note of the Order No/ Customer Ref No that is incorrect 2. On left hand side menu click on the cross beside folder called Manage Assets 3. Click on the cross beside folder called Manage Commodity Assets between Sites 4. Click Check Out 5. In the Customer Ref No: field type ITR/ and then the reference number of the incorrect checkin. Eg. If the checkin you entered was AAU56999 then the reversal should be ITR/AAU56999 Refer above in Important Information for an explanation of why this is important. 6. In the Origin Site field enter the DC code that you used on your original checkin D9250XF for Sydney DC D9450XF for Melbourne DC D9300XF for Brisbane DC D9320XF for Adelaide DC D9280XF for Townsville DC D9330XF for Perth DC D9460XF for Tasmania DC Note: Destination Zone field will be automatically populated 7. The Remarks field is optional and can be used to describe more relevant details of the transaction. 8. In the Quantity field type in the amount of crates on your original checkin 9. Click Check Out 10. A new screen will appear confirming the transaction has taken place and will give you the option to Open or Save the corresponding HMMA. 11. Click Open 12. You can print a copy for your records. There is no need to let anyone know that this adjustment has been made, this transaction is important for your records only as part of your account maintenance.

16. How to reverse and reprocess an incorrect checkin? Important Information: If the quantity on your original checkin is wrong we strongly recommend that you reverse the entire incorrect transaction and then enter a new transaction with the correct details. When you reverse the transaction we recommend that you put ITR/ and then the reference number of the incorrect transaction. ITR stands for Incorrect Transaction Reversal. Eg. If the checkin you entered was AAU56999 then the reversal should be ITR/AAU56999 When you enter the replacement transaction we recommend you use the original reference number followed by a ‘-2’ or ‘a’. Eg. If the checkin you entered was AAU56999 then the replacement checkin should be AAU56999a OR AAU56999-2 This method provides a consistent and clear audit trail and makes account reconciliation easy. This is because you can match up the reversal with the incorrect transaction and also see the replacement transaction. Step Process 13. Make a note of the Order No/ Customer Ref No that is incorrect 14. On left hand side menu click on the cross beside folder called Manage Assets 15. Click on the cross beside folder called Manage Commodity Assets between Sites 16. Click Check Out 17. In the Customer Ref No: field type ITR/ and then the reference number of the incorrect checkin. Eg. If the checkin you entered was AAU56999 then the reversal should be ITR/AAU56999 Refer above in Important Information for an explanation of why this is important. 18. In the Origin Site field enter the DC code that you used on your original checkin D9250XF for Sydney DC D9450XF for Melbourne DC D9300XF for Brisbane DC D9320XF for Adelaide DC D9280XF for Townsville DC D9330XF for Perth DC D9460XF for Tasmania DC Note: Destination Zone field will be automatically populated 19. The Remarks field is optional and can be used to describe more relevant details of the transaction. 20. In the Quantity field type in the amount of crates on your original checkin 21. Click Check Out 22. A new screen will appear confirming the transaction has taken place and will give you the option to Open or Save the corresponding HMMA. 23. Click Open 24. You can print a copy for your records. There is no need to let anyone know that this adjustment has been made, this transaction is important for your records only as part of your account maintenance. 25. REMEMBER to enter the replacement transaction with the correct details.

17. How to process a rejection transaction? Important Information: You should only process a rejection transaction once you receive crates back onsite. Once you have processed the crates on to your account, the SAVI system (and Coles/Logtek) assume that you have those crates. If you are unsure whether you should process a rejection transaction, we recommend you contact us for instructions. When you process the transaction we recommend that you enter the reference number in the following format: koYYMMDD/credit claim or checkin number Eg. If the credit claim number is 84561 and the rejection took place on 25/3/2010 then the reference number would be ko100325/84561 This format helps you when doing account reconciliation, as the transaction is easily identifiable as a rejection/knockout (KO) transaction and by entering the date in the YYMMDD format you are able to sort the transactions into date order (irrespective of what date the transaction was actually processed). Step Process 1. On left hand side menu click on the cross beside folder called Manage Assets 2. Click on the cross beside folder called Manage Commodity Assets between Sites 3. Click Check Out 4.

22. Reconciling you account Reconciliation is an important part of good crate management practice. You must perform regular reconciliations of your account in between the Coles crate stocktakes. The frequency of your reconciliation will depend on the volume of crates that you use. We recommend weekly reconciliation - that way if your account doesn’t balance you only have a week’s worth of transactions to review. IMPORTANT – Reconciliation should be done during a time when all your SAVI transactions are up to date and no SAVI transactions are currently taking place. 1. Count your physical stock Include DO NOT Include Empty, packed & damaged crates Crates you have borrowed from other suppliers Crates you have loaned to other suppliers Crates already Checked In (dehired) in SAVI prior to stock count (even if they haven’t left site yet) Crates collected from Logtek (even if they haven’t arrived on site yet) Crates at all your sheds, pack-houses, ripeners, coolrooms etc...
