Returns management

Keep track of your returns inventory, maintain appropriate response times for your customer credits and manage goods resources sustainably – this is what our returns management can do for you.

Logistical processing of goods returns

Individual quality controls and goods preparation

We take care of incoming returns for our customers from containers or trailers, on pallets or as loose collies or packages. The information on the waybill with regard to the consignee and the number of packages handed over is checked in accordance with our normal incoming goods services. This includes checking the goods and the load carriers for externally visible completeness and intactness. We then handle the exchange of loading equipment as part of returns management and confirm receipt of the returns.
