Retail Industry Trends and Challenges Supply Chain Disruption Organized Retail Theft Returned goods at an all time high

Returned Goods at an All-Time High Last year, a record 14.7% of all sales were returned – even with stricter return policies. But free shipping drives customer loyalty even higher so this trend will be here to stay – and Supply Chain pros have to pick up the pieces. And with “Re -Commerce” emerging as a growth platform, this becomes an opportunity rather than a problem BRS has crafted Customized Returned Assets and Reverse Logistics Programs for multiple retailers. This has allowed our partners to save $$ while ensuring assets are maximized. We can also help when a store needs to be De-Commissioned
RETURNED ASSETS PROGRAM • We are prepared to handle the secondary issues with New Stores & Remodels
• Return Overbuy • Return Excess of Assets • Return of old assets displaced: Restock, Recycle, Refurb, Liquidate, or Return to Vendors
• Special projects management
Organized Retail Theft Retailers are now forced to reimagine their Front End for greater focus on security and less on labor savings related to the Self-Checkout strategies of the past few years
Let BRS pre-build and stock your new front-end kits in a way that will streamline the transition in a rapid and cost-saving manner!
