Returns & Rework
Returns don't have to destroy margin. With structured processing, they become recoverable value.
FulfillmentPlus transforms returns from a cost center into a margin recovery operation.
The Hidden Cost of Unstructured Returns
Most brands treat returns as pure loss. The result:
Unnecessary Destruction
Recoverable goods destroyed because there's no grading process.
No Visibility
No insight into which SKUs are recoverable vs write-off.
Inconsistent Handling
Different treatment for similar items based on who processes them.
Damaged Restocking
Damaged goods put back into inventory, causing customer complaints.
Unknown Costs
No SKU-level data on returns processing costs.
Margin Erosion
Return rates eating into profitability with no recovery strategy.
High return rates don't kill margin. Unstructured returns handling does.
Our Returns Processing Workflow
Every return goes through a structured process with clear decision points.
Receive & Log
Every return is logged in JTL with return reason, original order data, and timestamp. Full traceability from day one.
Inspect & Grade
Physical inspection against defined criteria. Each item receives an A/B/C grade:
Like new. Restock immediately.
Minor issues. Rework needed.
Not recoverable. Dispose or liquidate.
Document
Photo documentation where required. Evidence for disputes, quality analysis, and supplier claims.
Rework & Refurbish
Grade B items undergo defined rework processes:
- Repackaging
- Relabeling
- Cleaning
- Minor repairs
- Bundle separation
- Component testing
Restock or Route
Recovered items return to sellable inventory. Non-recoverable items follow defined disposal or liquidation paths.
Report & Analyze
SKU-level returns data feeds back into your systems. Identify problem products, track recovery rates, and make data-driven decisions.
