Why this integration matters

‍

Returns represent a structural flow of goods, yet in many planning models they are only processed once physically received. This creates a data gap between what is in transit and what will become available.

With this integration:

• Returns in transit are included in your inventory forecasts
  You do not rely solely on sales data, but also account for expected return volumes.
• You gain a more accurate view of future stock requirements
  Procurement decisions are based on more complete information.
• A common data gap in ecommerce operations is structurally resolved
  Return data becomes part of your supply chain planning instead of remaining separate.

What this means for your operations

‍

For Supply Chain & Planning

Return volumes are automatically synchronised with Optiply. Expected inbound returns are incorporated into forecast and replenishment calculations.

For Finance‍

A more realistic view of stock rotation and future purchasing needs supports better liquidity planning.

For Operations‍

Fewer corrective actions are required afterwards, as return flows are no longer excluded from planning.
