Was versteht man unter Retourenmanagement für Unternehmen?

Retourenmanagement ist ein Begriff aus dem Bereich der Logistik, mit dem der gesamte Prozess – von Retourenannahme über die Bearbeitung der Retouren bis hin zur Wiedereinlagerung oder Entsorgung – beschrieben wird.

Welche Leistungen beinhaltet das Apiando Retourenmanagement?

Die Rücksendungen deiner Kunden werden bei uns in Empfang genommen und entsprechend der Vorgaben in Echtzeit im System vermerkt. Im Anschluss findet eine umfassende Qualitätsprüfung der Retouren statt. Je nach Qualität der Waren bereiten wir diese nun für den Wiederverkauf oder Weiterverkauf auf oder kümmern uns um die gesetzeskonforme Entsorgung defekter Ware.

Was sind Amazon FBA-Retouren?

FBA, also der Versand durch Amazon, nimmt Händlern die Logistik ab und ermöglicht einen schnelleren Versand an den Endkunden. Innerhalb einer 30tägigen Frist kann jeder Käufer seine erhaltene Ware an den Verkäufer zurücksenden, unabhängig vom Zustand der Ware. Als Amazon Retouren Anbieter prüfen wir die Rücksendungen und bereiten diese, wenn möglich, zum Wiederverkauf vor.

Wie lassen sich Kosten für FBA-Retouren sparen?

Die Zusammenarbeit mit einem erfahrenen und effizienten FBA Retouren Anbieter wie Apiando kann die Kosten für FBA Remissionen maßgeblich einsparen. Wir setzen dafür auf ein kostensparendes Retourenhandling, das den wachsenden Online-Handel und die Erwartungen an schnelle Lieferzeiten im Blick behält. So reduzierst du maßgeblich die Kosten für Logistik und Transport deiner FBA Retouren und steigerst gleichzeitig die Kundenzufriedenheit.

Lohnt sich das Outsourcing bei einem Retourenmanagement Anbieter?

Ein professioneller und erfahrener Logistikdienstleister kennt die Herausforderungen des wachsenden E-Commerce Handels – auch, wenn es um Retouren und Engpässe geht. Durch schnelle und geordnete Prüf- und Aufbereitungsabläufe direkt im Apiando Logistiklager sparst du Zeit, Geld und Arbeitskräfte und kannst deine Waren möglichst schnell wieder in den Verkauf bringen.

Ist das Handling von Retouren nachhaltig?

Apiando hat sich unter dem Motto Apiando Green Logistics dem Umweltschutz und der Nachhaltigkeit verpflichtet. Unser Ziel ist es, wiederverkäufliche Waren hochwertig aufzubereiten und neu verpackt wieder in Umlauf zu bringen. Alternativ entsorgen wir retournierte Waren, die nicht für die Aufbereitung geeignet sind, nach allen gesetzlichen Vorschriften umweltschonend. Zusätzlich achten wir auch beim FBA Retourenmanagement auf klimaschonende und recyclebare Verpackungsmaterialien.

Was kostet das Retourenmanagement für Unternehmen?

Die genauen Kosten, die bei einem professionellen Retourenmanagement für Unternehmen anfallen, variieren je nach Anspruch. Kontaktiere uns gern persönlich, damit wir dir ein individuelles Angebot zukommen lassen und detailliert auf deine Vorstellungen eingehen können.

Returns management for e-commerce
uncomplicated and thorough

Returns management is one of the most important aspects of the value chain in online retailing. However, efficiency in this area requires comprehensive planning. According to estimates, the return rate for online orders is 10% on average, and in the fashion industry as many as 50% of all goods are returned. This results in several million parcels per year that have to be transported via couriers, express and parcel services.

And this is exactly where our returns management for companies comes in: We take care of your returns and remissions. The efficient handling of returns is a major logistical and organisational challenge that takes up a lot of time for online retailers. Time that you could invest more sensibly in your business.

As one of the leading logistics service providers in Germany we know exactly what is important in returns management. We handle your customers’ returns as smoothly and quickly as possible to keep the costs as low as possible – and develop individual returns solutions together with you.

The processing of returns can also succeed quickly and efficiently – this is also shown by our many years of experience in the field of returns management for companies. Through our intelligent IT interfaces between our fulfilment system and your systems, we can access all order data at any time. This allows returns to be assigned and processed quickly and effectively. The status and condition of the return are always clearly visible to you during the entire process. In order to make sure you do not have any extra work with the returns logistics, we take care of all the processing for you – so you can concentrate fully on your business.

Receipt of returns and identification of goods

We accept returns at our fulfilment centre and subject every single return to a thorough quality check. Using the latest scanning and cloud technologies, returns are identified in real time and assigned to the order. We automatically forward the information obtained in this way to you via our interface system. You can communicate with us at any time via our interactive dashboard.

Inspection and processing of returns

As part of our quality control, we check all returns for resalability. We follow a rating system that we have worked out together with you beforehand. After successful inspection we professionally prepare the returns and store them again as part of the fulfilment service so that they can be resent at the next opportunity. Our testing and reprocessing processes are carried out exclusively by trained and professional personnel who also keep an eye on the details. Your satisfaction, but also the satisfaction of your customers, is our focus.

Reporting of returns

Thanks to our Apiando Cloud interface, you receive a real-time overview of any return reasons as well as a detailed condition report for all returns. This gives you a complete overview of all returns at all times and provides you with transparent and informative information about your goods. In the next step, you can tell us how you would like us to handle your returns or FBA remissions.

Disposal and recycling

If the quality inspection of a product is negative, we will inform you immediately about the condition of the product. Based on your instructions, we will dispose of damaged returns in an environmentally friendly and proper manner in accordance with statutory regulations. This saves you time, effort and money. Alternatively, we can also support you in selling products that are no longer for sale via recyclers in a sensible way and without significant financial losses.

FAQs

What is returns management for businesses?

Returns management is a term from the field of logistics used to describe the entire process – from the acceptance of returns to the processing of returns to their re-storage or disposal.

What services does Apiando returns management include?

Your customers’ returns are received by us and recorded in the system in real time according to the specifications. Subsequently, a comprehensive quality check of the returns takes place.

What are Amazon FBA returns?

FBA, i.e. shipping through Amazon, relieves retailers of logistics and enables faster shipping to the end customer. Within a 30-day period, any buyer can return their received goods to the seller, regardless of the condition of the goods. As an Amazon returns provider, we check the returns and, if possible, prepare them for resale.

To achieve this, we rely on cost-saving returns handling that keeps an eye on the growing online retail and the expectations of fast delivery times. This way you significantly reduce the costs for logistics and transport of your FBA returns and increase customer satisfaction at the same time.

A professional and experienced logistics service provider knows the challenges of the growing e-commerce retail – also when it comes to returns and bottlenecks.

Is the handling of returns sustainable?

Apiando is committed to environmental protection and sustainability under the motto Apiando Green Logistics. Our goal is to refurbish resalable goods to a high standard and put them back into circulation in new packaging.

In addition, we also pay attention to climate-friendly and recyclable packaging materials in FBA returns management.
