While the matter of what to do with slow-moving and unsold consumer goods is a constant challenge for brands and retailers, it’s also a very common one. That’s why leaders from recommerce organizations like B-Stock are working to develop smart, data-driven approaches that promise to maximize cost recovery and operational efficiency—all while supporting sustainable business practices.

In Episode #458 of The New Warehouse Podcast host Kevin Lawton welcomes Robert Iaria, B-Stock’s VP of Client Solutions & Logistics, for a dialogue on the causes and nuances of this excess inventory challenge, as well as the channels that are commonly used to relieve this problem. Over the course of the discussion, Iaria introduces B-Stock—the world’s largest B2B marketplace for excess and returned merchandise—and explains the immense value of a fully managed recommerce platform.
