What is Nimble?
Nimble is a modern warehouse management system (WMS) designed for e-commerce fulfillment, providing real-time inventory management and order processing capabilities. Built with modern technology, Nimble helps businesses scale their fulfillment operations efficiently. Primary Purpose: Nimble delivers streamlined warehouse operations and fulfillment for e-commerce brands using Nimble as their 3PL provider, with a focus on technology-driven logistics that adapt to growing business needs. The platform integrates through Trackstar for standardized connectivity with returns management platforms and other e-commerce tools, ensuring seamless data flow across your tech stack.What Does the Integration Do?
When a customer initiates a return through Redo, the system automatically creates an RMA (Return Merchandise Authorization) in Nimble, notifying the warehouse that items are being returned. This ensures your warehouse is prepared to receive and process returned items efficiently, with all the information they need available immediately. Products are mapped using SKUs, returns are linked to original Shopify orders, and tracking information (carrier, service, tracking number) is sent to the warehouse. Return reasons are transmitted to help warehouse staff understand why items were returned, enabling better decision-making about restocking or inspection. The integration includes Redo’s return status and platform information for full traceability. Supports multiple warehouses and multiple shipments per return.How to Set It Up
