Returns Management System
A returns management system (RMS) is a technology platform that spans the entire returns lifecycle — from return initiation, return methods, shipping consolidation, receiving, conditioning, dispositioning, and ultimately restock and resale. While a true RMS will cover the end-toend returns journey, it is usually the latter half of the journey most relevant to 3PLs, namely:
- Consolidate returns across multiple returns methods (i.e. drop-offs, pick-ups, lockers, mail back,etc.) to reduce shipping costs back to the distribution center
- Visibility into inbound returns reduces “blind” returns and speeding the time to refund for shoppers
- Unit-level receiving and sorting
- Robust test/grade functionality to help retailer recoup as much resale value as possible, while also offering 3PLs the ability to fold value-added services into their offer
- Extensive dispositioning logic & rules to get product to its next-best destination, whether restock, resale, or refurb
- Prebuilt connectors to secondary market channels such as recommerce providers, liquidation, or recycling
