2026 Events |
||
| The logistics industry is undergoing one of its most transformative periods in decades. As global networks grow more complex and customer expectations intensify, 2026 is set to be a pivotal year.
Industry leaders from Advanced Supply Chain, Stuart Greenfield, and Reconomy, Andrew Hill, highlight five major trends reshaping the sector from AI‑driven decision‑making to circular logistics and recommerce. AI is evolving beyond analytics, driving real‑time operational decision‑making and enabling predictive forecasting, automated exception handling, and smarter route optimisation. At the same time, sustainability and circularity are becoming core to strategy, with businesses rethinking how products are reused, returned, and repurposed across the supply chain. The message is clear: success in 2026 will belong to organisations that embrace adaptability, insight‑led planning, and greener logistics models. |

Circularity in Action |

 |
At ASC, we’re committed to transforming what has traditionally been a complex, time‑consuming part of retail operations: product salvage. By combining intelligent technology with specialist hands‑on capabilities, we’re helping retailers recover more value from returned and damaged stock quickly, sustainably, and with full visibility.
Our smart first‑touch grading ensures products are assessed accurately and efficiently from the moment they enter our network. Supported by real‑time data and guided decision‑making, this approach speeds up processing while maintaining consistency and quality. From there, items can be routed into our specialist teams who deliver an extensive range of repair and rework servicesvincluding cleaning, steaming, sewing, ozone treatment, relabelling, and full restoration. This allows retailers to return a significant proportion of items back into saleable condition, protecting revenue and maintaining brand standards. Technology sits at the heart of the process, giving customers complete insight into recovery performance through live tracking, reporting and intelligent routing. Whether products are returned to primary channels, recommerce platforms, or alternative markets, ASC ensures a seamless, compliant journey. The result? A salvage operation that’s faster, cleaner, more profitable and more sustainable. By extending product lifecycles and diverting waste, we help brands boost both their bottom line and their environmental impact at the same time. Ready to discuss finding value in returned stock?
