Reverse Logistics

Revlog Model

Clark has developed a regionally focused national supply chain solution for book distributors and retailers that streamlines the product return process back to original owner and reduces overall costs. Our proprietary web based customer tools provides customers the opportunity to gain greater operational efficiencies in the preparation and shipping of multiple return destinations at significant transportation savings.
