Kewill (LSE: KWL), a leading provider of global trade and logistics software, today announced Kewill's latest white paper which examines the financial returns that may be achieved through the implementation of a Reverse Lifecycle Management (RLM) solution.

The white paper highlights major areas of opportunity and financial analysis within the reverse logistics supply chain. Also included in the white paper is an embedded ROI model that is based on collective experience working with clients and Kewill customers.

?Often times organizations think of reverse logistics as just a cost center, basically a necessary evil, and return products are often an overlooked source of revenue, additionally the value of increased customer retention is not considered in the ROI analysis,? said Bob Leeds, global product manager for reverse logistics for Kewill. ?As you will see in this white paper, properly accounting for the attributes of your reverse logistics business will enable an organization to see the returns not only from increased product utilization and cost reductions, but also from increased customer satisfaction.?

?One large gap in reverse logistics we see is connecting service/field information back with product design,? said William P. McNeill, Senior Supply Chain Research Analyst at Gartner. ?An RLM solution has the potential to collect service information and relay that to product design and engineering to make better sourcing and design decisions to further reduce costs; basically establishing a reverse logistics network that supports life cycle design.?

The solution is used by some of the world's top supply chains to manage their reverse logistics operations saving millions of dollars, while improving customer service.
