Systems and Methods of Reverse Logistics Without Packaging and Labelling

A computer-implemented method for planning a return of ordered products without packaging and labelling, comprising:

• providing a returns pickup vehicle configured to transport items with zero packaging;
• identifying, by a computer comprising a processor and memory, one or more product returns that do not require packaging and labelling;
• generating, by the computer, a return collection plan indicating the one or more product returns to be received and picked up, wherein the one or more product returns do not require packaging for transport by the returns pickup vehicle;
• communicating, by the computer, the return collection plan to one or more collection resources;
• generating, by the computer, a loading plan for the one or more product returns;
• communicating, by the computer, the loading plan for a collection resource to access and follow in loading the one or more product returns on the returns pickup vehicle;
• generating, by the computer, an inbound staging plan for the one or more product returns;
• and
• communicating, by the computer, the inbound staging plan to one or more receiving resources.

A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium embodied with software for planning a return of ordered products without packaging and labelling, the software when executed by a computer is configured to:

• identify one or more product returns that do not require packaging and labelling;
• generate a return collection plan indicating the one or more product returns to be received and picked up, wherein the one or more product returns do not require packaging for transport by the returns pickup vehicle;
• communicate the return collection plan to one or more collection resources;
• generate a loading plan for the one or more product returns;
• communicate the loading plan for a collection resource to access and follow in loading the one or more product returns on the returns pickup vehicle;
• generate an inbound staging plan for the one or more product returns;
• and
• communicate the inbound staging plan to one or more receiving resources.
