Cut Returns Costs in Half, Double Inventory Turn in Weeks
Returns cost half as much and inventory turns twice as fast when the reverse logistics 'pipes' are pre-built—activating millions of units in a couple of weeks, not the six to nine months it takes to open a new warehouse. As one operator put it: 'We don’t want to give you more technology, we want to give a solution.'
“We see returns as a hidden P&L leak—30% return rates in apparel mean every day of delay locks up working capital; cutting cycle time from 40 to 20 days frees ~$2.1M in inventory per $100M in annual e-com revenue.”
