FloorFound

Consumer demand for sustainability, coupled with a strained supply chain and growing inflation, has pushed recommerce and resale to the forefront of retail. Couple that with the traditionally challenging and costly work of managing oversized item returns that push many retailers to tell their customers "just keep it and deal with it" or to send them to the landfill along with 9 million other pounds of furniture alone. FloorFound's solution cuts through these complexities that have made resale prohibitively difficult for oversized items and allows brands to quickly launch robust, full-scale recommerce programs that meet and exceed consumer expectations.

Recommerce offers a sustainable alternative to new item manufacturing and shipping, with lower cost items and faster availability for shoppers. More than 90 percent of U.S. consumers reported buying resale items in a 2021 FloorFound survey, and research from First Insights and the Wharton School indicates 83 percent of consumers across all generations who have purchased secondhand products will continue to do so compared to only 17 percent in 2019. This broad consumer support has led to projections that U.S. resale is set to grow more than 150 percent to top $330 billion by 2030, according to Mercari and GlobalData.

However, without reverse logistics processes to handle the return and resale of large items, recommerce programs have historically been out of reach and unavailable for oversized products, until now.
