Our technologically advanced returns process ensures that every returned item is handled efficiently, with clear communication at every step and strategic disposition decisions that maximize recovery value while minimizing environmental impact.
Complete Returns Management
Return Processing
We handle the entire returns lifecycle from receipt and inspection to disposition. Our team processes returns quickly, updates your inventory system in real-time, and provides detailed reporting on return reasons to help you identify product issues.
Quality Inspection
Each returned item undergoes a thorough inspection to determine its condition and appropriate disposition path. We document any damage with photos and detailed notes, providing transparency in the decision-making process for restocking or alternative handling.
Restocking
Items that meet your quality standards are quickly prepped for resale and reintegrated into your available inventory. Our efficient processes minimize the time products spend in the returns loop, getting saleable items back into stock quickly.
