Fashion

In most European countries, fashion is one of the most important online product categories. And because fashion is constantly changing, the opportunities new opportunities are always emerging. At the same time, the fashion industry is known for its high return rate. If you do not operate an attractive returns policy, you will quickly lose out to your competitors.

At Active Ants, all our locations are equipped with an AutoStore, smart robots and automatic packing machines. With this, we guarantee a fast and smooth fulfilment process, both outbound and inbound.

A good stock management system is important for any retailer. But within the fashion industry, it is absolutely indispensable. Otherwise, you quickly lose track, especially if you sell through various channels. Thanks to our smart software, you always have insight into your order volumes and stock levels.

So you know exactly what you still have in stock, which items are returning and when it’s time to order new products. In addition, we offer you a lot of insight into your operations. For example, you can see which items are doing well, which items are sold less frequently and which items have above-average return rates.

The fashion industry offers many sales opportunities. Through our links, you can easily offer your product range to various national and international marketplaces such as Zalando, Amazon and bol.com. Moreover, by placing your fulfilment with us, you can be sure to meet the strict requirements of these platforms. Consider, for example, delivery time, a return label with the order and a local return address.

Do your products require extra attention? Our value-added services ensure that returned items are properly inspected, processed, and refurbished when needed. For example, if a product is lightly damaged or requires repackaging, we can inspect, clean, and restore it to resellable condition. Whether it’s repackaging, quality control, or relabeling, our tailored return handling solutions help minimize waste and maximize resale opportunities.

Together with Active Ants, you can easily cross the border with your webshop. The closer you are to the customer, the faster you can ship. With warehouses in the Netherlands, Belgium, Germany, UK and even outside Europe, we can deliver quickly worldwide.

International returns can be costly, especially when processed individually. By using a local return address, returned items can be bundled, significantly reducing costs while also enhancing customer trust. At Active Ants, we optimize international returns by leveraging our own hubs, the global network of our parent company bpostgroup, and the facilities of our trusted carriers, ensuring a seamless and efficient returns process.
