What is Inmar?
Inmar is a reverse logistics provider (an acquisition of DHL) that handles return dispositioning — the process of inspecting, sorting, and routing returned items based on their condition. Inmar operates a network of reverse logistics warehouses across the country.Inmar is not the same as BlueYonder, which provides boxless return drop-off
services. These are separate integrations.
What Does the Integration Do?
When a customer submits a return through Redo, an RMA is automatically created in Inmar’s system. Inmar then inspects the returned items at their warehouse and sends dispositioning updates back to Redo (e.g., return to sender, ship back to warehouse). These updates allow Redo to automatically process the return based on Inmar’s inspection results.How to Set It Up
Prerequisites
Before integrating with Redo, the merchant must complete several steps with Inmar directly.Active Inmar Account
Active Inmar Account
The merchant must already be connected with Inmar. This includes:
- Defining business rules with Inmar for dispositioning (e.g., return to sender when applicable, ship back to warehouse when in good condition)
- Sharing master data with Inmar — a table of product information including UPC, SKU, weight, price, and other details for each item
- Selecting warehouses — deciding which of Inmar’s reverse logistics warehouses the merchant will use
Inmar Credentials
Inmar Credentials
Inmar will provision the following merchant-specific credentials:
- Merchant consumer ID
- Merchant webhook secret
- Warehouse list — which Inmar warehouses the merchant uses
Product SKU/UPC Data
Product SKU/UPC Data
The merchant must have per-product and per-variant SKU and UPC for all
products and orders. The physical products must also have these codes present
on the items, as the dispositioning team scans them to verify return contents
match the customer’s submission.
Inmar is transitioning away from requiring UPCs. In the future, only SKU
will be required.
Compatible Shipping Methods
Compatible Shipping Methods
Merchants must use return shipment methods that provide a label with a unique,
scannable barcode (e.g., FedEx, USPS, or any carrier that provides a tracking
number barcode on the label).
Configuration Steps
