TrueCommerce Datalliance Returns Automation

VMI Greatly Reduces the Need for Returns

TrueCommerce Datalliance has extended the scope of Vendor Managed Inventory (VMI) to make the process of returns far faster and simpler for both the distributor and manufacturer. This paper outlines how ‘excess material’ reports have been combined with automated transaction generation to create a complete ‘returns automation’ solution that significantly speeds the process while reducing both managerial and administrative effort.
