Is returns prevention manageable? That is the question that Alistair Sercombe, head of returns at Debenhams, will be answering at the Omni-Channel Conference later this month.
Sercombe will look at how data insight about customers and products can help identify the root causes of returns, and lead to targeted prevention initiatives. He will look at who should take ownership of damaged or un-saleable product, as well as analyse the risks of managing returns and identify what is viewed as a risk.
An efficient returns system can show huge benefits for retailers. Anthony Baldwin, head of returns for Shop Direct, will look at the reasons behind this and the cost savings that can be achieve from reverse logistics.
And Gary Winter, business development director at UTL, will explore the benefits of having a one stop shop for reverse logistics, testing and refurbishment in an environment where product lifecycle is tightening.
