Oracle Depot Repair Delivers Business Intelligence for Returns Disposition and Ecological Impact
News Facts
- To help organizations protect the environment, improve
sustainability initiatives and streamline compliance, Oracle today extended the
environmental impact and sustainability reporting capabilities of Oracle Depot Repair. - These extensions are delivered as part of the Oracle
E-Business Suite 12.1.3 and include new business intelligence dashboards that
help organizations reduce waste, reuse and recycle returned materials more
effectively, improve product designs and comply with environmental laws. - Oracle Depot Repair now includes powerful reporting and
analytics to aggregate and parse comprehensive return and disposition data,
including information collected directly from third-party logistics providers,
processors and recyclers, functionality not available in other enterprise
resource planning (ERP) solutions.
Oracle Depot Repair Helps Organizations Reduce E-Waste
- By providing a single view of all return and disposition
information from multiple disparate data sources, Oracle Depot Repair enables
organizations to: - Reduce environmental impact: Goal setting and progress
tracking for re-use, recycling and landfill avoidance allows businesses to
create green programs, reward positive results and target where improvements are
needed. - Increase value recovery: Insight into which business
units and partners are more profitably recovering value from returns enables
companies to benchmark best practices and identify where improvements are
needed. - Minimize regulatory penalties: The ability to report
on the number of units and weight of material returned to each processing center
and report on how the material was dispositioned helps businesses comply with
e-waste laws across Europe, North America and elsewhere. - Reduce returns: The ability to analyze returns data
helps businesses improve product quality and decrease high-expense and low-value
returns.

- “Previously, organizations had no way of viewing their
product return and disposition information in one comprehensive dashboard,
leaving them vulnerable to regulatory fines and lacking key information that
could be used to improve products and reduce returns,” said Lee Sacco, senior
director, Oracle Applications Development. “Oracle Depot Repair closes this
visibility gap, allowing organizations to gain insight from their reverse supply
chain data to operate more efficiently and sustainably.” - “Oracle is committed to helping customers achieve both an
eco-advantage and improved business performance by embedding environmentally
related capabilities throughout their enterprise systems,” said Jon Chorley,
vice president of supply chain and sustainability product strategy, Oracle.
“This latest capability, one of many from Oracle, delivers precisely what is
required within the context of the existing business process, thereby creating
the right result at the optimal total cost of ownership.”
