How it works
Confirm which stages are defined

Get a completeness score and gap list
The result scores how much of the reverse-logistics workflow is defined and lists exactly which stages need attention.

Frequently asked questions
What counts as a "defined process" for a stage?
A documented, repeatable procedure that staff follow consistently — not necessarily automated, but written down and known rather than handled ad hoc case by case.
Does ReturnRoute manage my actual returns?
No. ReturnRoute computes a readiness score only from the answers you provide — it does not process, track, or manage live customer returns.
Why these four stages specifically?
Collection, inspection, disposition (restock/repair/recycle/dispose), and completion are the core stages any reverse-logistics workflow needs to close the loop on a return — skipping one creates a gap somewhere in the process.
What if I have a process but it isn't followed consistently?
Answer based on whether the process is genuinely defined and used, not just written once and ignored — an unused process should be treated as effectively undefined for this score.
Should return volume change my priority?
Yes — at higher return volumes, gaps in any stage create more operational risk and cost, so prioritize closing gaps that affect your highest-volume return reasons first.
