Industry Challenges
Take the waste and hassle out of returns
Lower the cost of managing returns
Apparel retailers face some of the highest returns rates in the industry, so it’s critical you manage returns in a way that lowers the costs of labels, shipping and staff processing.
Restock more rapidly
It can be complex, time-consuming and expensive to determine the appropriate treatment for each returned item. Decrease the time taken to restock items so their resale value remains high.
Deliver a better customer experience
Customers expect to be able to return apparel items at no cost, but you need to be able to deliver an experience that offers convenience and faster refunds to promote loyalty and good reviews.

Optimize decisions with returns data
Blue Yonder’s solutions give you the visibility you need to understand which resources are needed to handle returns, what stock will come back and which SKUs have the highest return rates. This data gives critical insight for fraud prevention, future stock decisions and returns policies.
Reduce losses, waste and costs from returns

Help staff process returns

Give customers the returns experience they want
