Returns Management

On various occasions, products are returned to manufacturers for a variety of reasons such as errors, damages or dissatisfaction. This is a major concern for manufacturers as research points out that on an average, 15 to 20 percent of goods sold are returned (Source:www.ascet.com). Return of products not only indicates chances of losing customer loyalty but also poses a huge risk of additional costs and losing value in the returned items.

In this scenario, learning to salvage more value from products returned by customers and managing these returns becomes important. However, this demands a separate road map with a distinct collaboration of people, process and technology towards organizational goals.
