Case Study
Fortune 500 Retailer Modernizes Reverse Logistics at Scale
From fragmented returns to governed execution powered by MiDAS.
As reverse volume scaled across facilities and partners, control didn’t. By implementing MiDAS, this retailer unified governance across its reverse network, standardizing intake, evaluation, and disposition under a single system of record.
THE RESULT
Mismatch rates reduced, grading accuracy exceeded and turnaround times accelerated—restoring control at enterprise scale.
The Challenge
Scale increased. Control didn’t.
As volume scaled across multiple facilities and third-party partners, the retailer faced mounting discrepancies in inventory, grading inconsistencies and limited visibility into post-intake processes, resulting in revenue leakage and operational inefficiency.
Inventory mismatches
2–3% discrepancy rate costing millions annually
Inconsistent grading
Subjective assessments varying by facility and operator
Manual inspection drag
Slow throughput bottlenecking recovery timelines
Limited visibility after intake
Black box processing with minimal exception tracking
