Newlife Services to Companies

By offering unique services to major retailers, manufacturers and other organisations and because we are registered with the Dept of Environment, we can offer corporately sound services. We can take companies excess goods/product and other items, to help them manage their environment responsibilities, save costs, improve quality and beat fraud. Since 1993 we have been serving the corporate sector and we have board level retail specific insight. Our business background makes sure that what we say we can do, we achieve, so companies can expect high quality services in a real world context. Most of our services are free and are tied in closely with the benefits to the environment helping companies achieve at many key performance levels and achieve social responsibility requirements.

So how can your company win and how does this help the environment?

Companies win because:

• Reduce Costs
  They can significantly reduce handling, landfill, disposal and transport costs and save on resources - most of our services are free. If you have ever analysed the cost of managing un-required/waste goods you will know it is a major cost and a nil return.
  “We closed a warehouse, cut our logistics bill and reduced work on sale focussed work for staff in stores, all within weeks of starting to use Newlife". - Corporate Services
• Environmental and Social Action
  We manage excess goods and waste in an environmentally sound manner. Social responsibility and environmental laws place strains and challenges on companies; this can be substantially avoided or satisfied through using the Newlife Corporate Services.
  “Every company wants to do its bit for the environment and society, but it all costs money and time. Since using Newlife we have found a ‘one stop’ solution and we are delighted to achieve all we wanted to achieve and Newlife made it simple”.
• Tackle Fraud
  We help them defeat fraudulent reclaims associated with the disposal of these un-required goods
  No one wants a disposed of product coming back to haunt them for a fraudulent refund at the tills. That is why all our goods are de-branded to an agreed level to prevent this happening.
  “Claiming fraudulent refunds feeds an underworld of crime, staff are intimidated in stores and there are major financial losses. The Newlife system prevents this circle and protects the brand integrity”. - Security Office
• Corporate Tax Benefits
  There can be tax benefits by donating these goods to a UK charity, Inland Revenue have information on how your company can offset the goods you donate to be recycled through Newlife against corporation tax because Newlife Foundation is a UK registered charity.
  “The Tax situation was simple and the IR office were pleased to advise us on this matter, we used to incinerate this stock but the logistics , handling and service costs were enormous, Newlife has helped to show real cuts in expenditure”. - Finance Director
• Reduce Losses
  We can feed back to companies quality control data, this helps them understand their product returns, which in turn helps them improve customer satisfaction and reduce shrinkage/losses and waste.
  Why are your goods being returned by customers, why did it fail, was the refund justified? All questions you need to know to ensure success for your business, or customers will shop elsewhere. Our Returns Management procedure (RMP) will give you all this data and more, in easy format. As a result you can challenge suppliers to do better, train stores to manage stock and reduce refunds claims.
  “Within 6 months of starting to use the Newlife RMP service we reduced our shrinkage and losses by around 50%.The board were amazed and customer satisfaction increased, we tackled poor manufacturing processes through the buyers and improved training to our store staff”. - Stock Loss Manager
• Audit Trail Improvement
  We can work with companies to improve their stock audit trails. Written off stock and returns can be a target for significant security issues in stores and distribution centres. Newlife can work with auditors to track stock and ensure secure systems and reporting is in place can identify weaknesses in key locations and improve integrity.
  "We reduced losses substantially and were able to demonstrate integrity in our systems to the board. Where significant weakness or stock losses were experienced Newlife helped us to establish, detect and track the problem locations”. - Audit Manager
• Full Products Responsibility
  All stock donated for recycling to Newlife is securely handled and assessed upon receipt and environmental paperwork required to prove disposal is issued for your records. Newlife takes on the Duty of Care from the moment it hits our vehicles or it is unloaded at our warehouse, everything is receipted in and fully environment act complaint paperwork and reports are provided. The Duty of Care for disposal, management and reuse is totally covered by Newlife.
  “Obviously we are responsible for our products, the security that Newlife offers companies in taking over the Duty of Care is vital to ensuring safe handling and avoiding later challenges to the company”. - Co. Secretary
