HOW IT WORKS

What Happens When a Return Arrives

Every return is handled through a structured workflow, ensuring consistency, visibility, and the right outcome for every item.

1. Receive & Sort

Returned items are received into our facility, logged into the system, and sorted by SKU, condition, and required action.

2. Inspect & Grade

Each item is inspected against your criteria and graded for resale suitability, with full audit tracking throughout.

3. Refurbish, Rework or Recycle

Where needed, items are cleaned, repaired, repackaged, relabelled, or prepared for compliant disposal or recycling.

4. Return, Store or Dispose

Resalable items are returned to stock, while non-restockable goods are securely stored or processed in line with your instructions.

FLEXIBLE, BESPOKE RETURNS WORKFLOWS

Built Around How Your Business Actually Operates

No two businesses handle returns in the same way, and your process should reflect that.

We design tailored reverse logistics workflows aligned to your customer journey, ensuring every return is handled according to your exact rules and requirements.

This can include custom routing logic, integration with returns portals, repackaging or branding standards, refurbishment processes, and downstream fulfilment decisions.

The result is a returns operation that fits seamlessly into your business, giving you the flexibility to scale without building or managing your own infrastructure.

THE COST OF POOR RETURNS MANAGEMENT

What Happens If You Don’t Fix Your Returns Process

Unstructured returns lead to lost stock, reduced margins, and unnecessary operational costs.Without a clear process, businesses often lose resale opportunities, absorb avoidable shipping costs, and struggle to maintain accurate inventory.
