REVERSE LOGISTICS
SERVICES.
Returns don't have to be a loss.
Product comes back for all kinds of reasons: customer returns, warranty, recalls, overstock, damage. Left unmanaged, it ties up space and writes off value. Handled right, much of it can be recovered.

What We Do
RETURNS GO BACK
INTO CIRCULATION.
PLI manages the returns stream end to end: receiving, inspecting, and triaging returned product, then reworking, repackaging, or dispositioning it to recover as much value as possible.
We work at your facility or ours, as a one-time surge or an ongoing program, and report on exactly what was recovered.
Product sitting in a returns cage is inventory you have already paid for.

EVERY RETURN IS
A QUESTION.
Nothing on a returns pallet tells you what it is worth. One carton holds product that can ship tomorrow, the next holds a defect, and the one behind it was never opened at all.
Receiving and triage is where that gets answered — every unit inspected and routed before it costs you another week of floor space.

Who It's For
FOR ANYONE WATCHING
RETURNS PILE UP.
Manufacturers and distributors with a returns stream, warranty program, or recall to manage — especially in consumer products, appliance, distribution, automotive, and warehousing.
Common Triggers
- A returns cage filling faster than it empties
- A recall that has to be received and processed
- Warranty product waiting on a disposition call
- Overstock tying up space you need for production
WHAT COMES BACK
CAN GO BACK OUT.
Recovery only counts once the product is moving again. Reworked, repacked and relabelled, it re-enters the stream as stock you can sell instead of a line you write off.
And every unit that leaves carries a disposition record, so the recovery is a number you can show your customer, not an estimate.
