Reverse logistics expo features John Mehrmann

In the evolution of Supply Chain Management Services and Solutions, Reverse Logistics evolved from a requirement for merely managing returns into a competitive advantage for Retail, OEMs and Branded companies that manage the process wisely. Reverse Logistics has become a keystone for balancing customer satisfaction, supply demand responsiveness and bottom line performance. Properly managing Reverse Logistics and the Supply Chain Solutions can make or break the financial stability of an organisation.

"In the Supply Chain you are either the one driving the truck, the one pumping the gas or the one paying the other two. The old paradigm was consolidation, moving product faster, more direct and with lower cost. The new secret to success is learning to measure the value that lies within the product and making intelligent business decisions in real time," said Mehrmann.

At the Reverse Logistics Trade Show Conference and Expo in Singapore, Third Party Service Providers (3PSPs) will demonstrate Reverse Logistics services and solutions on a global basis to OEMs, retailers and branded companies.

Reverse supply chain providers working independently have difficulty achieving and demonstrating value. Technology is essential to leverage integration and expedite intelligent decisions with multiple tiered operators. Collaboration is required to provide Best Practices, increase revenue, reduce expense and optimize capital.

"In service, to be competitive is to be the first to provide the services that would otherwise put you out of business. If you can do this, you will place your competitors out of business or have them working for you," said Mehrmann.
