What actually changes

Stop returned stock piling up at the dock with no consistent call on what to do with it.

Returned items sit at the dock because nobody applies a consistent standard for what's sellable versus a write-off.

See every return graded by condition the moment it hits the queue
Track recovered value by brand and order type instead of one blended number
Know whether a return should be restocked, refurbished, liquidated, or scrapped without a manual call each time

What was built

An intake queue that grades each return by condition, computes recovered value, and tracks it by brand and order type.

The mechanics

How this actually runs, step by step.

  1. 1A returned item lands in the intake queue tagged with its brand, order type, and inspected condition.
  2. 2Grading it applies a fixed rule per condition — Like new to Restock, Minor damage to Refurbish, and so on.
  3. 3Each grade carries a recovery percentage, so recovered value is computed the moment it's graded.
  4. 4Filters by brand and order type let one FC roll up returns across every brand and channel it runs.
  5. 5A running grade breakdown shows where value is actually being recovered versus written off.
