Turn Excess Inventory into Cash

Stop draining cash, space, labor, and stay focused on your core business.

If you're struggling with reverse logistics, hamstrung by inefficient processes, single-channel sales, or only focusing on short-term recovery, you may not be getting the best value for your returns.

Look at the Entire Lifecycle

Sometimes retailers focus on incomplete metrics to determine their recovery value. When a product is received properly, optimally sorted, refurbished, and sold through the right channels, you will:

Save around 20% of the cost of each returned item
Improve margins by 3% to 15%
Save the planet billions of tons of waste
Get Total Recovery Value (TRV) for your excess inventory and returns

The Real Cost of Returns

Approximately $650B worth of goods are returned each year (globally). Return rates are high across all retail channels and categories:

Channels / Brick & Mortar 8%; Ecommerce 30%
Categories / Sporting Goods 9%; Auto Parts: 21%

89% of all online shoppers say return policies determine where they shop.

US retailers spend 16.6% of total sales on returns.*

Returns put a strain on your core operations:

Store and warehouse space is constrained
Requires expertise outside core competencies

Returns are seasonal:

Peak volumes often collide with seasonal demand
Hard to balance velocity with recovery amidst supply chain issues

Returns have a direct impact on our planet:

Roughly 6B pounds of returned products go to landfills each year

What if returns logistics were a revenue-generating opportunity that also enhanced your sustainability goals?
