Here’s one customer’s account of the values realized from partnering with C.H. Robinson for their reverse logistics needs:

“Partnering with C.H. Robinson to manage our reverse logistics process helped provide vision to critical OS&D trend information that was previously unknown. With a centralized data warehouse and ad hoc query capability, OS&D data can be drilled down to identify specific origins, carriers, or customers that generate the bulk of our reverse logistics costs.”
