Returns, reverse logistics and recommerce are becoming some of the most commercially important areas of modern supply chains.
That’s why we’re partnering with the Logistics Leaders Network to launch a first-of-its-kind UK event dedicated exclusively to these markets.
Over two days, the event will bring together solution providers, retailers, manufacturers and logistics leaders to explore the strategies, partnerships and technologies shaping the future of value recovery, returns management and circular supply chains.
