Guaranteed Returns^® announces the official launch of the new One & Done^™ program.

Holbrook, New York, 9/16/09  – The One & Done™ program is a one-touch returns processing program that reduces the inefficiencies due to multiple touch returns processing and incorporates environmentally friendly procedures. With return goods only being handled once, redundancies are eliminated in the Pharmaceutical Supply Chain when data (flat file or EDI format) is provided to participating manufacturers.

Some of the advantages of the One & Done™ program are error reduction, elimination of loss, and pilferage or other diversion of products. In keeping current with green efforts, Guaranteed Returns^® utilizes EPA approved incineration service partners that provide electrical power to the grid in an attempt to reduce America’s dependency on fossil fuels.
