Strategies for better reverse logistics management:
Adopt new repair and return policies
With the increasing number of returns, companies need to find ways to reduce these returns without negatively impacting their marketspace. They are required to adopt better measures to reduce the abuse of generous return policies by blocking the account of customers without any warning who have returned too many items. Moreover, necessary steps need to be taken by both retailers and manufacturers to empower customer service associates to make returns more efficient.
Better collaboration with retailers
Vendor agreements are a major issue between manufacturers and retailers and often results in price disputes. This leads to the re-evaluation of return policies many times. The situation becomes critical for products like furniture and electronic items. Therefore, companies need to improve the collaboration between suppliers and retailers to enhance return management and reverse logistics management.

Optimize your reverse logistics process with data
Manufacturers and retailers need to analyze the market size and implement new technologies to improve the reverse logistics process. They can leverage the services of third-party partners to sort, resell, process or dispose of items that will reduce the cost of return processes. They can even use sensors, IoT, and connectivity to monitor, troubleshoot or repair products in the field and minimize the need for consumers to send products back. Options such as easy-to-replace components and hardware that can be sent to consumers for self-repair, connected products with software and operating systems that can be trouble shooted or updated from anywhere can also be implemented to better the reverse logistics process. Moreover, manufacturers and retailers can use data to track the condition of the products, the volume of returns, and the reason for return along with the percentage of sales to enhance reverse logistics management.
