Industries/Retail

Returns and overstock, identified at the door and routed to the channel that recovers the most.

Retail returns arrive without a record, and overstock leaves without a plan. Vendidit identifies each item from a photograph, grades it, and routes it to the disposition and channel with the highest recovery, inside the operation the retailer already runs.

Every returned item is a decision, and most of them are made by whoever is nearest.

Returns are received against an order, not against the item. Condition is a guess. The disposition is a default. The channel is whatever is easiest. Recovery follows.

The platform makes each of those a decision made on evidence. Identity and condition from the photograph, a disposition chosen by rule, a channel selected for recovery, and the outcome written back to the record.

Where the technology changes the work

Four applications.

01

Returns identification and grading

Identity and condition from a photograph at receipt, bound to the order and the item, so every return has a record before it has a shelf.

02

Disposition by rule

Restock, repair, resale, donation or disposal, chosen by the retailer's rules and the item's evidence rather than by habit.

03

Channel routing and resale

Sale through the channel that recovers the most for that item, with brand and channel restrictions honored.

04

Overstock and end of season

The same engine applied to inventory that will not sell at full price, before it becomes a liquidation lot.
