How a global mattress giant optimises returns

  • Challenge
    The existing return process was handled individually by retailers, causing a lack of visibility, inefficiencies and poor customer experiences.

    C.H. Robinson created a tailored solution allowing the mattress manufacturer to own the entire returns process. It uses our customer platform technology and a reverse logistics communication hub.
  • Result
