Returns management software, also known as reverse logistics, is an efficient solution that simplifies returning items and equipment from customers to the warehouse, and returning items and equipment from the warehouse to suppliers.
Every individual item of stock, including batch, lot, use-by date and other stock attributes, is tracked by SEQOS through all processes in the warehouse, and in each carton despatched to customers. Product Recall is very easy as SEQOS shows the exact locations and customers for the recalled stock items.
SEQOS significantly simplifies the customer returns process which ultimately reduces processing costs. Individual items to customers are tracked, so the original Stock ID for the returned stock can be easily determined, and the attributes of that specific stock item can be automatically retrieved.
Vendor Returns in SEQOS is also a simple process. The stock may be picked by the usual picking, despatch and transport functions, or the quantity manually adjusted.
Pallets, totes, garment cages, IBCs and other shipper types all have a cost, so it is important not to lose track of them when despatched to customers. The quantity of each shipper type, and the serial number for serialised shippers, are recorded with the despatch date from the warehouse and the customer they were sent to. When returned to the warehouse, the entered quantities are deducted from the customer’s account.
