How does SLP handle returns and reverse logistics?

SLP manages returns and reverse logistics through controlled intake, inspection, and documentation. Our workflows ensure that returned kits, components, or materials are processed according to your program’s requirements and industry standards.

Reverse logistics typically includes:

  • Controlled intake: receiving returned items with proper labeling and documentation.
  • Inspection: evaluating condition, completeness, and compliance with program rules.
  • Disposition decisions: determining whether items should be restocked, refurbished, quarantined, or discarded.
  • Documentation: recording return reasons, quantities, and outcomes for audit trails.
  • Program‑specific workflows: handling biohazard, regulated, or sensitive materials according to your requirements.

For healthcare, retail, clinical, and consumer programs, reverse logistics is essential for maintaining control, reducing waste, and ensuring that returned items are handled safely and consistently.
