Platform · Reverse Logistics
Teamship turns the returns pile into an organized, billable process — tag and group return pallets, quarantine them from shipping, print custom return labels, and charge returns at their own rates.

The problem
Reverse logistics is messy, risky, and usually under-billed. Teamship makes returns organized, safe, and profitable.
Returns land in a corner with no structure, and nobody can find or track them.
Un-inspected returns get picked and shipped back out to a customer.
The extra handling, storage, and QA on returns rarely makes it onto an invoice.
Customers keep asking where their return is and what happened to it.
Organize, contain, label, disposition, and bill — the full reverse-logistics loop.
Tag pallets to organize and group them, so every return is structured and findable.
Flag pallets as returns so they're routed and handled as reverse logistics downstream.
Block flagged pallets from being shipped out until they've been inspected and cleared.
Create custom Teamship return labels so returned stock is clearly identified everywhere it moves.
Ship out return pallets based on their tags: back to stock, to the vendor, or to the client.
Charge return pallets at a different storage rate than regular inventory.
Set distinct charges for returns-specific activities like inspection, sortation, and repackaging.
Customers are notified automatically when a return shipment is completed.
Two things make Teamship returns different: everything is driven by pallet tags, and returns finally get billed for the work they take.
Tag a pallet as a return and Teamship handles the rest: it's grouped with other returns, quarantined so it can't accidentally ship, and later shipped out based on that same tag. No spreadsheets, no lost pallets.
Returns take more handling than outbound, and Teamship makes sure you're paid for it. Charge return pallets a different storage rate, add differentiated charges for returns activities, and raise manual invoices for special QA work. It all flows into 3PL billing.
From a returned pallet on the dock to a billed, dispositioned return.
Tag inbound return pallets and group them so returns are organized from the moment they arrive.
Quarantine returned pallets so they can't be picked or shipped until they're cleared.
Run special QA workflows on returned stock and raise manual charges for the work performed.
Apply the returns storage rate and differentiated activity charges through 3PL billing.
Ship return pallets back out based on their tags, and notify the customer when the shipment is complete.
How the best 3PLs keep reverse logistics organized — and profitable.
Returns close the loop after shipping, the reverse side of order fulfillment. See how they fit Teamship's WMS for 3PLs and the full Teamship platform.
Returns management software, also called warehouse returns software, handles the reverse-logistics side of the warehouse: receiving, organizing, inspecting, and dispositioning returned goods, and billing for the work. Teamship manages returns at the pallet level with tagging, quarantine, custom labels, and returns-specific charges.
Teamship uses pallet tagging to organize and group returns, quarantines pallets so they can't ship out, supports QA workflows, and lets you ship return pallets back out based on their tags, with customers notified when the shipment is completed.
Yes. Teamship lets you charge return pallets at a different storage rate, create differentiated charges for returns-specific activities, and raise manual invoices for special QA workflows, all flowing into 3PL billing.
Yes. Teamship lets you create custom return labels for returned pallets and stock, so returns are clearly identified as they move through the warehouse.
Yes. Customers are notified when a return shipment is completed, keeping clients informed without manual follow-up.
Reverse logistics is the flow of goods back from the customer to the warehouse: returns, RMAs, recalls, and repairs. Good returns management software turns that flow into an organized, billable process instead of a pile of pallets.
