A survey commissioned by ReverseLogix found that, while companies use a wide range of strategies for managing returns, they face similar challenges and opportunities.
Of the companies surveyed for the report, all were in B2B or hybrid B2B/B2C industries. Most don’t have visibility into the true cost of returns management or the impact to their bottom line. While most want better automation to make returns processing faster, only about a quarter use automation technology. Companies that outsource returns management to a 3PL partner cite cost savings and a lack of in-house expertise as the main drivers for that decision.
