Advantages

The greatest cost factor lies in the reduction of fit-related returns. Evaluation projects showed that product returns could be reduced by up to 22%. However, even a reduction of 0.5 % considerably increases profit margin in the mail order trade due to the high after-costs. For large trading companies, this can mean savings in the multi-millions.

Technical realization in the form of a data service also has many advantages:

• no additional software
• individual coordination regarding the product portfolio
• use of familiar working environments, e.g. existing ordering or CRM programs
• optimal use of existing ordering and cut data
• settlement of invoices by ‘pay per use’
