Practical advice for making your reverse logistics faster, leaner, and greener
COVID lockdowns, surging commodity prices, and inflation are battering global supply chains.
As a result, retailers must extract maximum value from their available inventory. Doing so requires a returns and reshelving process that runs like clockwork.
As the line between brick-and-mortar and ecommerce continues to blur, brands must expend more effort to meet the evolving expectations of consumers.
That means adopting new technologies and processes (e.g., buy online, return in-store) that streamline returns and expedite exchanges.
With greater focus on the environment than ever before, brands must rethink their approach to returns—from recycling used products to the mitigation of less-than-truckload shipping.
