We're well known for our return trips

Products that aren't sold within a specified time frame, as can often occur in businesses with seasonal products or in classic mail-order business, are referred to as "returns". They are disliked equally by retailers and manufacturers, because they are difficult to plan for and commit resources. Promotional merchandise doesn't only lead to increased visits to retail stores by consumers, it also-not infrequently-results in high volume and strong seasonal fluctuations in returns that can be managed within the framework of an efficient logistics chain. This is where the return logistics solutions from pfenning logistics enter the picture. These solutions are used, for example, in the non-foods sector to pick up unsold goods from the branch stores of food retailers. These returns are bundled via a retail warehouse and then delivered to our returns handling centre. Based on individually defined customer criteria, the incoming returns are inspected, sorted and packed into new logistics units in the receiving area. Rejected merchandise is appropriately disposed of. The merchandise determined to be good is integrated in a customer's current inventory for remarketing. Thanks to well-coordinated process organisation, the returns receive not only a second chance, but can also be the decisive factor in earning a profit in the particularly competitive retail segments.
