To help with the difficulties associated with returns handling in the fashion and leisure industry, Ekart has launched a new service called “Refinish Service.”
“By refurbishing over 90 per cent of returned inventory, Ekart enables brands to mitigate losses and maximize revenue potential,” reads the release.
This service is aimed at retailers, e-commerce, and direct-to-consumer (D2C) businesses in the fashion and lifestyle sectors. Ekart’s refinishing service is not limited to fashion and lifestyle companies; it also covers the footwear, purse, accessory, and home and decor industries, including items like blankets, bed linens, curtains, and so on.
“Ekart’s facilities have a combined processing capacity of 55,000 units daily, leveraging best-in-class machinery and energy-conserving technologies. The refinishing process at Ekart’s facilities involves rigorous quality checks, stain removal, box replacement, ironing, stitching (if required), and final quality control to ensure the finesse of the refurbished products. Setting Ekart’s Refinish service apart is its commitment to personalized refinishing solutions, adhering to each brand’s specific standard operating procedures (SOPs). This ensures that each product undergoes tailored treatment for optimal results,” it reads.
Mani Bhushan, chief business officer, Ekart, said, “Returns management is a significant challenge for fashion brands, both logistically and financially. With Refinish, Ekart has introduced a transformative solution to the persistent challenge of returns management.”
Refinish centres run by Ekart are dispersed around the nation’s main demand centres, allowing for quick processing of returns and lower transportation expenses for companies. Gurgaon, Mumbai, Bangalore, Kolkata, and other areas are among these. The facilities make use of top-notch equipment, such as steam vacuum tables and up-steam tables, to process returned inventory thoroughly and quickly. They also have the best foam finishers in the business, which guarantees product quality.
