Inbound Logistics
In the circular economy, inbound logistics isn’t just about receiving pallets from suppliers—it’s about accepting returns, reclaimed goods, salvaged components, refurbished stock, and even raw materials for reuse. Loop ERP’s Inbound Logistics feature function is built for this new reality—where inventory enters from multiple sources, in various conditions, and for many purposes beyond first-sale fulfillment.
With full visibility, intelligent routing, and flexible receiving logic, Loop ERP helps your team move inbound materials from dock to decision faster than ever.
Loop ERP’s Inbound Logistics feature gives you control over the intake of all incoming goods—whether they're purchased, returned, transferred, repaired, or recycled. It enables smart receiving, real-time visibility, and automated workflows that reduce manual handling, improve traceability, and accelerate the value recovery process.
This is inbound logistics purpose-built for businesses that manage flows, not just inventory.
Receive standard purchase orders, returns from customers, transfers from facilities, or recovered materials—all through a single, intelligent interface.
Plan receiving before the truck hits the dock. Use ASNs to schedule dock space, allocate labor, and stage inventory workflows ahead of time.
Automatically trigger inspections, grading, and disposition workflows when items are returned from customers, partners, or field operations.
Upon receiving, Loop ERP can guide users to route items based on grade, condition, or next action—reducing bottlenecks and misroutes.
Scan items on arrival using barcodes, QR codes, or RFID to speed up identification, reduce manual errors, and instantly link items to records.
Use integrated cameras to snap photos or record short videos of incoming goods—especially returns—to verify condition, reduce disputes, and improve grading accuracy.
Unpack complex or bundled returns, initiate disassembly BOMs, or route components directly to sub-inventory buckets for reuse or resale.
Track every step of the receiving process with complete transparency. Loop ERP logs who received what, when, and under what conditions.
Inbound Clarity
Unlike traditional ERPs that assume inbound inventory is new and pristine, Loop ERP understands that incoming materials may be:
With Loop ERP, your inbound operations become a strategic entry point for recovery, reuse, and value regeneration.
Inbound is the first touchpoint for everything your circular business will eventually sell, reuse, or reclaim. With Loop ERP Inbound Logistics, you gain real-time control, reduce delays, and unlock the hidden value of your incoming inventory.
