Bleckmann wins Overall Logistics Innovation 2023 Award for The Renewal Workshop
Logistics expert Bleckmann has been named as the recipient of the “Overall Logistics Innovation 2023 Awards Program”, granted by independent market intelligence organisation SupplyTech Breakthrough.
Bleckmann specialises in fashion and lifestyle logistics, offering a variety of sustainable solutions to help businesses grow. The company provides its services to a number of well known brands, including Gymshark, Cos and Karl Lagerfeld.
Thanks to the acquisition of The Renewal Workshop and the integration of the renewal services into its own portfolio of supply chain solutions, Bleckmann allows apparel and textile brands to extend the life of their post-consumer products once considered unsellable.
The Renewal Workshop solution helps to restore products so they could be resold, generating new revenue opportunities for brands, reducing the overall pollution created from “waste” streams and enabling the reduction of new production to reduce carbon and other negative environmental impacts.
The system tracks individual products through the renewal process as well as produces data on product faults and quality, how it was restored, and quantifies the positive environmental impact of product life extension.
Jurrie-Jan Tap, Chief Business Development Officer at Bleckmann, said: “Bleckmann's Renewal Workshop allows brands to tell a new and different story to their customers, increasing brand equity, loyalty, retention and customer value. We’re thrilled to be among the winners of the 2023 SupplyTech Breakthrough Awards."
The annual SupplyTech Breakthrough Awards Program aims to conduct the industry’s "most comprehensive analysis and evaluation of the top technology companies, solutions and products in the supply chain and logistics industry today".
Bryan Vaughn, Managing Director of SupplyTech Breakthrough Awards, said: “Through acquisition and integration of The Renewal Workshop, Bleckmann has developed something that is now repeatable and scalable.
"Returns management is a significant challenge both financially and environmentally. Bleckmann offers an advanced way of managing returns, leading to a more sustainable future and satisfied end-consumers.”
