How to Develop a Reverse Logistics Strategy

Many vendors offer some limited re-work and sorting down to the item level, and then aggregate it to save on freight costs back to you. This also allows you to get and process the goods much easier when the shipments arrive at your DC.

Depending on the disposition, the merchandise can be re-routed, based on your stated business logic. For example, goods can be transferred to a liquidation or clearance center, disposed of due to damage or returned to your vendor.
