They count on you to respond to customer questions, answer inventory queries, place accurate orders, and resolve issues as they emerge. Do these things with a smile on your face, and you can have a customer for life. Effective customer service tends to build trust and can turn a one-off transaction into a long-term relationship.

Sometimes, they hire a third-party logistics (or 3PL) operator , and other times they only use a distributor.

While conventional logistics optimizes the flow of goods from producer to consumer, reverse logistics manages the processes for inverting that flow to deal with returned parts , materials and products from the consumer back to the producer. Most often, this includes warranty recovery, value recovery, repair, redistribution, product recalls, used parts and replacement materials for refurbishment, service or product contract returns, and end-of-life recycling.
