Vol-2, Iss- (Nov-Dec, 2021): 185-190 Logistics activities in forwarding are a new form that appeared in Vietnam in recent years, bringing many economic benefits, optimizing the use of volume, container tonnage, saving transportation costs, organizing The shipping organization has a system to match the required date of goods, provide information as a basis for analysis, management, supply chain planning, and e-commerce promotion, but challenges from the external environment are also present as internal limitations have hindered the development of this activity Therefore, it is necessary to research and evaluate the current situation in order to improve and develop logistics activities formed due to many different reasons such as: recalling unsold products for upgrading; recall defective products for repair; recovery of used product for partial dismantling and reuse; packaging recovery and reuse… The reverse logistics process is carried out in stages: The first step in the reverse logistics process is “Assembling” which includes the activities necessary to collect unsold products, defective products or packaging and transport them to the point of recovery Phase products will be "Inspected" through activities such as product quality inspection, product selection and classification at the recovery point The results of phase are an important and necessary basis for determining the next process for most commercial products In stage "Disposal ", when a product is recalled back, enterprises will have many ways of handling such as direct use or resale; product recovery (repair, renew, re-manufacture, disassemble for spare parts ); and waste treatment (burning or discharging into the environment) The final stage is the “Re-distribution” of the recovered product This phase refers to the logistics activities to bring the product back to the market and deliver it to the customer such as stocking, selling, and shipping activities Coopmart is a retail supermarket in our country Currently, Coopmart is the enterprise that owns the most supermarkets in Vietnam With more than 110 supermarkets and hypermarkets scattered all over the country With the above factors, Coopmart is always chosen by consumers as a place to shop every day Food is fresh, clean, quality checked with many modern machines, so customers always trust when choosing BigC is a trademark of Groupe Casino (France) retail distribution group in Thailand and Vietnam BigC Vietnam has a total of 26 BigC supermarkets nationwide Most of the goods sold at BigC are Vietnamese With the positioning as cheap goods, suitable for consumers' pockets, the customers they target are those with average incomes The logistics system is clearly divided and ensures the source of goods to consumers Internal information system: provide internal logistics report: import report, export report, warehouse card report, inventory report, total logistics cost report, sales report, revenue reports… as a basis for decision making External logistics information system: an information system that researches and collects information about the environment outside the supermarket (find out the source of goods, the suppliers of goods for the supermarket, the best-selling items ) To plan logistics activities in terms of purchasing time, supplier selection, stock levels, inventory control, transportation planning, etc Introduction to the Retail Industry Market Size Vietnam's retail market is booming In 2018, Vietnam ranked eleventh (50.2 points) in the world on the Global Retail Development Index (GRDI), in the ASEAN region, Vietnam is the market with the third highest index (after Malaysia) (61.9) and Indonesia (58.7) Given its relatively small size and retail market attractiveness index of 25.1, Vietnam is considered an important market with low saturation The value of Vietnam's retail market reached 104.9 billion euros in 2017, an increase of 9.7% year-on-year This growth has been consistent for many years and is expected to continue to grow at a growth rate of 10.3% per year, by 2020 the retail market will reach 140.7 billion EUR Theoretical Basis Introduction to R-Logistics According to the Logistics Management Association, logistics is a part of the supply chain that plans, executes, and controls the movement and storage of goods, and related services and information efficiently from point of origin to point of consumption to meet customer requirements From the above concept we can infer, Reverse Logistics is the process of effectively planning, implementing and controlling goods and related services and information from the point of consumption to the point of consumption origin for the purpose of recovering the residual value of the goods or reasonably discarding them The reverse logistics line is Structure of the Retail Industry in Vietnam The retail market in Vietnam consists of three main channels: traditional, modern and online In this article we only discuss the traditional retail market and the modern retail market Fresh markets (markets for fresh meat, fish, produce, and other perishable goods, to be distinguished from "dry markets" that sell durable items such as fabrics and electronics) and grocery stores remain the mainstay of sales Retail is the most popular because Vietnamese consumers buy everyday items at these stores 186 Boleslaw Rafal Kuc et al., Hmlyan Jr Edu Lte; Vol-2, Iss- (Nov-Dec, 2021): 185-190 However, modern retailing is gaining popularity, especially in urban cities like Hanoi or Ho Chi Minh City The value contribution of modern retail channels has been increasing in recent years and, according to the Ministry of Commerce, could account for up to 45% of the total industry value by 2020 learn skills and approach new things in a variety of contexts, especially in improve customer satisfaction in the retail industry in Vietnam RESEARCH METHODS Methods of Investigation and Data Collection It is expected that in the first phase, we will collect secondary data and use desk research methods, theories of R-logistics, models effectively operate domestically and internationally to build a standard knowledge base internationally, has been and is being applied effectively around the world The knowledge in this topic is collected from many standard sources mainly from books, report, economic magazines, information on the Internet In the second stage, we will observe the actual business, evaluate customers objectively and subjectively, and at the same time apply qualitative research methods to the process head Through qualitative research methods such as observation and in-depth interviews, we will analyze the problem of comparing R-logistics activities Traditional retail markets, i.e fresh markets and grocery stores, are familiar to Vietnamese consumers' daily lives As fresh ingredients are at the core of local cuisine, Vietnamese consumers still meet their daily needs at these traditional retail locations because of convenience and competitive prices Although the brick-and-mortar retail sector has the largest market share, this channel has seen modest growth as the number of stores has remained stable over the past few years with around 8,500 fresh markets and 1.3 million grocery stores This is due to the growing presence of modern retail stores as well as changing consumer behavior The modern retail market has seen significant growth in recent years, this channel is expected to contribute 45% of total retail value by 2020 Currently, modern retailers are concentrated in big cities like Hanoi and Ho Chi Minh City However, the penetration of modern retailers is expected to continue as both foreign and domestic companies have plans to expand their reach in Vietnam Data Processing Methods Primary Data Processing Method After conducting the interview, it is necessary to classify the collected information according to each content item Verify the reliability of information Review the validity of the information for the study In 2016, Vietnam only had nearly 870 supermarkets and hypermarkets, mainly in Ho Chi Minh City and Hanoi This number is forecast to exceed 1,200 by 2020 due to increased urbanization and adoption of modern retail outlets as one-stop shops for merchandise Supermarkets and hypermarkets carry a wide range of products, with groceries, food and beverage stores making up the majority of items Imported products are increasingly popular to meet the higher demand for foreign products and the growing number of expats and tourists in Vietnam Secondary Data Processing Method After collecting secondary documents, it is necessary to classify them according to the following types: The document provides the theoretical basis Strategic documents Documentation of short, medium and long term plans References in the form of seminars, conferences and reviews and analysis of the activities of Coopmart and BigC The Role of R-Logistics in Improving the Efficiency of Retail Businesses The role of R-logistics in improving customer satisfaction in the retail industry in Vietnam has a strong influence on the management of a company, internally, its relationships between parties and the service supply chain R-Logistics, as a business philosophy, guides companies to seek customer satisfaction with profit in a synchronous manner The trend of international and regional integration is increasingly changing and becoming more urgent than ever is the 4th Industrial Revolution In order to catch up with technology trends, countries are racing to advance to a new economy Industry 4.0, the opportunity for regional and international integration is still in human resources The speed of technological change is increasing, which will require and place more emphasis on each worker's ability to continuously adapt, The classification will help to provide the basic content of each type of document as a basis for analysis Research Process How to analyze data and present results?

of "Vietnamese people give priority to using Vietnamese goods" Big C supermarket is studying the use of trains and boats to transport goods from South to North The transportation of goods in and out of Big C supermarket's warehouse is mainly by specialized trucks (e.g.: refrigerated trucks transporting seafood must meet appropriate temperature conditions, on vehicles with shock absorbers, have oxygen blowing equipment for seafood) Big C supermarket system has invested in the transportation system with nearly 3000 trucks The average delivery cycle of goods to a Big C supermarket of this trucking system is days Big C directly transports goods from the factory/production facility to the warehouses of Big C supermarkets throughout the system • Reduce the costs incurred on the commission

imported continuously every day Large suppliers deliver goods to the general warehouse in Binh Duong, then from the total warehouse to the onsite warehouses of each supermarket Particularly for small and medium suppliers, they deliver directly at the supermarket's on-site warehouses Goods are paid according to the contract for each manufacturer, usually at the end of the month and every two weeks 98% of the amount is paid by wire transfer foreign suppliers such as: Cosmetics: Many types from leading suppliers: Unilever, P&G, My Hao Furniture: Famous brands such as: Happy Cook, Nhuom Kim Hang,

the western region and a fresh food warehouse in Ho Chi Minh City (Depot Warehouse) shared) Each warehouse consists of parts: Import department Transshipment unit Export department Forming links with suppliers: • Comprehensive cooperation with suppliers in areas • • • Always reserve goods in large quantities to stabilize prices: Balance supply and demand according to Tet holiday Risk prevention Derived from the unexpected needs of customers Reserve due to objective reasons such as information sharing, data connection, linking advertising activities, promotions, product suggestions Associate

for suppliers in making payment quickly, on time and ready to invest capital for suppliers with good business strategy and quality Strictly manage suppliers while cooperating and signing contracts with authorities to save quality of goods Provide Clear Supplier Development Strategies Inventory Management Stocking of raw materials, products and goods is an important content of SGM Thanks to the reserve, SGM's sales activities are always maintained, taking place continuously and smoothly, especially during holidays, Tet, inflation, price fluctuations A distribution center has been established Saigon Co-op invests to expand up to 8,000 m2 with nearly 200 suppliers of goods delivered via warehouse, operating in Binh Duong The immediate goal is to ensure timely and adequate supply of goods to Co.op mart supermarkets, especially during the peak period of serving holidays and organizing sales promotions Warehouse Management In each supermarket, a stock check takes place at the end of each day to ensure the exact volume of products sold and in stock This helps supermarkets quickly understand the sales situation day by day to capture consumer trends and make adjustments to suit the diverse needs of customers Saigon Coop Mart's reserve goods are mainly for the sake of consumers: Balancing supply and demand for seasonal products: on Tet holiday, Saigon Coop Mart has to stock a lot of essential food items (beer, soft drinks, frozen food, confectionery, processed food) On the other hand, there are only products for year-round consumption but can only be produced seasonally, so they need to be stocked Risk reserve: Risks are uncertainties, things that happen unexpectedly such as weather, problems with workers, machines, bad production planning, quality of goods supplier's problem Therefore, it is necessary to ensure that everything goes as expected Co.op Mart has reserves to prevent risks For each supermarket, Saigon Co.op has equipped warehouses to store goods on the spot to ensure that the supply is always plentiful and plentiful With a total distribution center warehouse and frozen fresh food warehouses in Binh Duong and Ho Chi Minh City, Saigon Co.op ensures good management and control of goods quality, coordination and timely circulation Timely throughout the system of food stores, there is no shortage of goods at peak times 190 Boleslaw Rafal Kuc et al., Hmlyan Jr Edu Lte; Vol-2, Iss- (Nov-Dec, 2021): 185-190 Derived from the unexpected needs of customers: with many functions to help users save time and exchange information quickly Co.op Mart considers reserve as a means to best serve customer needs Reserves are also due to objective reasons: the fierce competition of the market causes manufacturers to constantly improve, improve product quality, change designs… Moreover, Co-opMart has built its own website to help customers find out information about Co-opMart system such as Coop.mart's history, available items and prices, discounts, promotions and customer service information The website also has the function of contacting and receiving customer feedback to promptly capture the needs of customers The website is regularly updated to ensure that customers can receive the most accurate and fast information Contact Bowl INFORMATION ERP ERP = accounting software + sales support software + human resource management software … Not only that, the modules have a close relationship with each other like the parts of our body And another outstanding point of ERP software compared to conventional software is that ERP manages all business activities according to a process that other conventional software cannot An operating process of an enterprise consists of many steps, each step performs a certain function, the input information of this step is the output information of the previous step and the output information of this step is also the information of the previous step input to the next step It is easy to see that an enterprise operation process often involves many departments and ERP software performs well in coordinating the activities of the departments in the enterprise while discrete management software often only serves a specific department and does not have the ability to coordinate or support other departments or departments What are the benefits of enterprise ERP application? Enterprises are managed by flexible and modern ERP software All management tasks of employees are supported and optimized All employees are supported by the software with necessary information in accordance with their positions and responsibilities while working Business leaders will be provided with accurate information by ERP software quickly and through that they can know all the situations of the business through which they can make accurate decisions and correct Thus, all resources of the business are optimized, leaders will no longer have to suffer from vague lack of information, all statistical reports can be obtained at any time As before, the first businesses to apply accounting software are successful businesses Then, ERP will also become as popular as the application of accounting software now, businesses that are slower will most likely have to pay for their delay Final Remarks CONCLUSION Reverse logistics is exploited not only to meet the requirements of environmental protection, but through which businesses have had a clear change in perception in seeking economic benefits through reverse logistics implementation Many authors have pointed out that the effective implementation of reverse logistics requires specific solutions in the activities of collection, recycling, remanufacturing, as well as waste treatment This will help businesses improve profits, reduce management costs as well as inventory costs, improve customer satisfaction as well as increase the image of the business in the market Reverse logistics is considered an important content in a closed supply chain, so businesses that want to implement reverse logistics with high results need to consider reverse logistics in a closed supply chain In addition, businesses also need to pay attention to green supply chains because of environmental goals In addition, reverse logistics will work better in terms of sustainable supply chains The research is expected to contribute to helping businesses understand more deeply the role of reverse logistics in their business activities, especially for retail businesses Because these businesses often face reverse logistics decisions due to the increasing demand for product returns by consumers for various reasons The study also boldly proposes some directions for further research Recommended and Recommendations In addition, researchers can gain insight into the reverse logistics operations of retailers, wholesalers, manufacturers, or input suppliers In addition, marketing perspectives can be approached in the development of reverse logistics research The authors that made this article also expect that there will be more and more researches on reverse logistics in the Vietnamese national market because this is necessary in the trend of deep integration with the global economy In addition to equipping common information tools such as telephone and fax, Coop mart has designed an intranet (Intranet intermediary emailing system) local information exchange system This is a form of information exchange through an intermediary connection, managed by servers and workstations, so that information exchange within departments is more effective Currently, Coop.mart is promoting the application of the information exchange system between supermarkets in the Coop.mart system in the form of telex This is an effective information system 191 Boleslaw Rafal Kuc et al., Hmlyan Jr Edu Lte; Vol-2, Iss- (Nov-Dec, 2021): 185-190 12 Fawcett, A M., & Fawcett, S E (2014) The Definitive Guide to Order
