What Is Returns Management?

Returns Management is the process of receiving, inspecting, grading and processing returned products before deciding whether they should be restocked, repackaged, quarantined, returned to suppliers, recycled or disposed of.

Instead of simply storing returned products, CSG helps businesses manage the complete reverse logistics process from arrival through to final inventory disposition.
