For suppliers and manufacturers

We understand the plight of the supplier. And we say yes where other vendors say no.

In today's environment of supply chain problems, suppliers get squeezed from every direction: retailer requirements, EDI mandates, return volume, and vendors who quote six-month projects for two-week problems. Our answer is different: yes, and this is how.

API & EDI automation

Newer platform. Older hands.

We are a recent entrant to the market, and that is exactly why our technology is modern. But every member of our team brings more than 25 years of individual EDI and supply chain experience. We have seen the edge cases. We have built for them.

From your first trading partner to your millionth monthly transaction, we implement aggressively and configure around your business rules, not the other way around.

EDI 940 EDI 943 EDI 944 EDI 945 EDI 856 Custom APIs
  • End-to-end transactional views across your trading partners
  • User-configurable business rules, no developer required
  • Aggressive implementation timelines, measured in weeks not quarters
  • Transaction volumes from 100 to 1 million per month
  • Better EDI platform for data management and visibility

Returns processing

Returns are a supplier problem too.

The National Retail Federation puts retail returns at more than $800 billion in merchandise every year. Suppliers absorb a bigger share of that than most realize: chargebacks they cannot contest, condition disputes they cannot document, and inventory that vanishes into reverse logistics limbo.

Fraud detection with image capture

Condition documented photographically at receipt, integrated directly into dispositioning workflows. When a dispute comes, the evidence already exists.

Third-party returns acceptance

A fully mobile, cloud-based solution that lets couriers, logistics providers, and delivery teams accept returns anywhere, without your infrastructure.

Sustainability and the circular economy

Proper grading routes items to refurbishment and resale instead of landfill. Lower carbon footprint, less waste, and recovered margin from the same box.

Amazon returns automation

Selling on Amazon? Your returns have their own rules.

Our Amazon Returns App connects your Amazon Seller Central account to Returns Desk, associates FNSKUs and LPNs with physical receipts, and puts image-backed fraud documentation behind every FBA and FBM return.

When you extrapolate that process to hundreds of brands and thousands of SKUs, you have to have the right solution to let clients define processes for each one.

Questions suppliers ask us

Straight answers before you talk to sales.

Does Returns Desk replace our EDI setup?

No. Returns Desk adds transaction automation alongside your existing trading partners, supporting EDI 940, 943, 944, 945, and 856, plus custom APIs where EDI is not the right fit.

How fast can a new trading partner or transaction type go live?

Weeks, not quarters. Business rules are user-configurable, so most changes do not require a developer.

Can couriers or delivery partners accept returns without our infrastructure?

Yes. Third-party returns acceptance is fully mobile and cloud-based, letting couriers, logistics providers, and delivery teams accept returns anywhere without access to your systems.

How does Returns Desk help with chargebacks and return disputes?

Condition is documented photographically at receipt and tied directly into the dispositioning workflow, so the evidence already exists by the time a dispute comes in.

Do you support Amazon FBA and FBM returns?

Yes. The Amazon Returns App connects to your Seller Central account and associates FNSKUs and LPNs with physical receipts, backing every FBA and FBM return with image-based fraud documentation.
