RMA/Trade-in Services
Considering that around 10 percent of logistics cost is concentrated in the reverse process, many companies are intensifying scrutiny in this area. One of the major areas within reverse logistics is the Returns Process. Ranging from handling volume to processing, determining repair status and fulfillment, the process is labor intensive and demanding. However, by managing returns well, a company can benefit with customer satisfaction improvements, generate revenue, lower costs, and impact competitive positioning.
Outsourcing this process to a firm specializing in logistics, tracking, equipment testing, refurbishment, and processing can save money and provide efficiency in the entire process.
In addition to testing and evaluation, to determine if any deficiencies exist, other key elements important to a Returns Process are:
- Rework – For minor technical issues, onsite repair technicians can use new or harvested parts to repair items to working condition.
- Real-time visibility/tracking – With continual tracking of defects or issues, the originating manufacturer can observe general market issues and focus more on the resolution for current or future generations of products. This will effectively target education and create a preventive measure for returns.
- Remarketing – Reintroducing repaired or quality returned merchandise allows some recoup of cost.
- Retirement – For DOA systems or systems beyond repair, rapid destruction can occur, removing the asset from the product stream.
