Abstract:
Computer program products, methods, systems, apparatus, and computing entities are provided for customer controlled management of shipments. For example, customers can define handling identifiers to determine how items should be handled based on the handling identifier. Further, customers can define refund classifications to determine when refunds should be initiated.
Abstract:
Various embodiments provide a service cycle management system configured to: receive a first portion of input data comprising one or more requests from one or more holders of an asset; retrieve a second portion of the input data comprising one or more parameters associated with handling of the asset within the reverse cycle loop; calculate one or more optimal service tasks for handling of the asset based at least in part upon the service data and the one or more parameters defined by the holder; calculate one or more optimal service providers to perform the one or more optimal service tasks based at least in part upon the provider data, the one or more calculated optimal service tasks, and the one or more parameters defined by the holder. Associated computer program products and computer implemented methods are also provided.

Abstract:
A yield management system for dynamically enhancing visibility of yield rates realized for one or more recovered assets is provided. The system is configured to retrieve disposition data associated with a plurality of activities undertaken with handling and processing of one or more recovered assets for disposal thereof and comprising at least one component of disposition cost. Based thereon the system calculates a yield rate for each of said one or more recovered assets, compares said calculated yield rate to one or more market yield rates to identify one or more discrepancies, and if discrepancies exist, generate an indication thereof. A conservation logistics system is also provided, which calculates an index value along a consolidated index scale, compares said index value to one or more pre-determined goals so as to identify one or more discrepancies, and if discrepancies exist, facilitates implementation of one or more conservation logistics initiatives.
Abstract:
Embodiments of the present invention provide a repair or purchase program that may be associated with a common carrier. In various embodiments, one or more bids for a target item are received prior to receiving a listing for an item. After receiving the listing for the item, one or more relevant bids may be identified. Information associated with at least one of the identified bids may be provided. A user selection of one of the identified bids may be received. Completion of the transaction indicated by the user's selection may be facilitated. Associated methods, systems, and computer program products are provided.
