There’s a Better Way to Return: How Fillogic's Strategic Partnerships Transform Reverse Logistics
By forging strategic partnerships with industry leaders, Fillogic is not just streamlining the returns process but is fundamentally reshaping the landscape of reverse logistics for retailers.
In an era where consumers expect easy returns, but reverse logistics presents costly challenges, retailers need an innovative and efficient returns management process, or they’re going to lose – money and customers.
That’s where Fillogic comes into play. By forging strategic partnerships with industry leaders, Fillogic is not just streamlining the returns process but is fundamentally reshaping the landscape of reverse logistics for retailers.
A Game-Changing Approach
1. Speed and Efficiency
Fillogic is on a mission to cut the time it takes to get products back on the shelf, and the results are staggering. With returns available for resale in three days or less, Fillogic boasts a 200% faster turnaround and a 50% reduction in costs compared to traditional methods. This swift pace ensures that retailers can capitalize on resale opportunities quickly, mitigating the impact on stocking, transit, and processing expenses.
2. Mall-Based Micrologistics Hubs & Increased Sustainability
At the heart of Fillogic's success are its mall-based micrologistics hubs. These hubs serve as convenient locations for retailers, carriers, and mall owners to consolidate reverse logistics activities. The hub staff takes charge of processing items, conducting quality assurance, and performing necessary tasks such as repairs, cleaning, tagging, and bagging. And because the Hubs are located closer to consumers, retailers reduce the distance products travel by 50% and their carbon emissions by 20%.
Fillogic's Technological Edge
1. Full Visibility
Fillogic's proprietary technology provides unparalleled visibility into the returns process. From the moment an item is received to its storage and re-fulfillment, Fillogic's platform ensures a comprehensive view. Retailers can track their products in real-time, allowing for informed decision-making and enhanced operational efficiency.
2. Single, Channel-Free View of Inventory
The platform goes a step further by offering a channel-free view of inventory available for resale. This feature enables retailers to manage their stock effectively, optimizing asset utilization and facilitating rapid, scalable growth through seamless integration with Fillogic's nationwide logistics network.
Strategic Partnerships Propelling Fillogic Forward
Fillogic's commitment to innovation and excellence is evident in its strategic partnerships with other industry innovators like Loop Returns and Narvar.
1. Loop Returns Partnership
By partnering with Loop Returns, Fillogic is at the forefront of building a channel-free reverse logistics network. This collaboration leverages Loop Returns' automated returns management portal, combined with Fillogic's advanced sorting, grading, and segmentation technology. The benefits of this seamless integration? Packages bypass cumbersome retail distribution centers and get back on shelves in under 3 days - 200% faster than traditional models. Retailers also save up to 50% on reverse shipping costs. The quick turnarounds mean more inventory ready for resale at full price, increasing full-price selling days by 180%. All of which creates a more circular, sustainable, and cost-effective returns process that transforms reverse logistics into a profit center for retailers.
2. Narvar Partnership
Teaming up with Narvar, a post-purchase customer experience pioneer, Fillogic is streamlining the returns process even further. The partnership combines Narvar's end-to-end returns management solution with Fillogic's Hub Network and cutting-edge sortation technology. This collaboration ensures that returned inventory gets back in stock 70% faster than usual, offering retailers a significant advantage in a competitive market.
The Triple Bottom Line: Profitability, Sustainability, and Customer Satisfaction
Fillogic's impact extends beyond profitability. The company is actively contributing to sustainability efforts by intercepting returns in the final and middle mile, reducing travel distances, minimizing packaging needs, and decreasing carbon emissions by up to 40%. By allowing online purchases to be returned in-store, Fillogic is not only cutting down packaging materials in landfills but also enhancing the overall customer experience.
