Inbound
What does inbound sorting mean? In short, this is your -incoming goods- flow. So, this could be from suppliers or returns (retail and e-com).
Incoming goods
Knowing what comes in and what goes out is crucial. Purchase orders can be linked to the sorter and all goods are registered and counted. This may include information about sizes, colors, numbers, models, et cetera. This makes it easier to determine whether your ordered goods are actually delivered.
Returned goods
In addition, there is the return flow. These may be the goods returned from stores, or through e-com sales. Both flows can be registered and processed based on their barcode. Goods can either go back in stock or straight back in sales via cross-docking. Also, a VAS location can be added.
