Case Study: Big Box National Retailer achieves cost savings and full shipment visibility with BNSF Logistics reverse logistics solution

BNSF Logistics Provides Reverse Logistics Solution to Big Box Retailer

Big Box National Retailer needed to move thousands of point-of-sale systems from stores to a central location for refurbishment and software updates, while keeping each unit tracked to minimize store disruption and ensure reliability when returned to service. BNSF Logistics supported the project with a reverse logistics solution using 3RLink for inventory management and tracking.

BNSF Logistics received, processed, and refurbished the equipment, including kitting, consolidation, imaging, cleaning, and shipping to more than 800 sites. The solution provided real-time shipment visibility, full inventory accountability, and continuous reporting tied to serial numbers, helping the retailer save time and labor, reduce waste, increase recycling, and lower environmental impact.
