Organization, Consolidation and Presentation of Financial Statements [Abstract] | |
NATURE OF OPERATIONS | NATURE OF OPERATIONS Steel Connect, Inc., together with its consolidated subsidiaries (the "Company"), operates through its wholly-owned subsidiaries, IWCO Direct Holdings, Inc. ("IWCO Direct," "IWCO" or "Direct Marketing") and ModusLink Corporation ("ModusLink" or "Supply Chain"). IWCO Direct delivers data-driven marketing solutions for its customers. Its full range of services includes strategy, creative and execution for omnichannel marketing campaigns, along with postal logistics programs for direct mail. Through its Mail-Gard® division, IWCO Direct also offers business continuity and disaster recovery services to protect against unexpected business interruptions, along with providing print and mail outsourcing services. ModusLink is a supply chain business process management company serving clients in markets such as consumer electronics, communications, computing, medical devices, software and retail. ModusLink designs and executes elements in its clients' global supply chains to improve speed to market, product customization, flexibility, cost, quality and service. The Company also produces and licenses an entitlement management solution for activation, provisioning, entitlement subscription and data collection from physical goods (connected products) and digital products. Historically, the Company has financed its operations and met its capital requirements primarily through funds generated from operations, the sale of its securities, borrowings from lending institutions and sale of facilities that were not fully utilized. The Company believes it has access to adequate resources to meet its needs for normal operating costs, capital expenditures, mandatory debt redemptions and working capital for its existing business for at least twelve months from the date of this filing. These resources include current cash and cash equivalents, ModusLink's credit agreement with MidCap Financial Trust ("MidCap"), IWCO's revolving credit facility with Cerberus Business Finance, LLC ("Cerberus"), and cash, if any, provided by operating activities. The Company's expectations regarding its ability to use its existing cash and available credit facilities to continue funding its operations are based on assumptions that may prove to be inaccurate, and the Company may require capital resources sooner than currently expected. While the Company believes it will be able to access this additional liquidity based on existing information, the assumptions underlying this belief may also later prove to be inaccurate. As of January 31, 2021 and July 31, 2020, the Company had cash and cash equivalents of $87.6 million and $75.9 million, respectively. As of January 31, 2021, the Company had a working capital deficit of $4.0 million, which includes accrued pricing liabilities and certain tax related liabilities which the Company believes will not require a cash outlay in the next twelve months. As of January 31, 2021, IWCO Direct had $25.0 million available borrowing capacity under its revolving facility. As of January 31, 2021, ModusLink had a readily available borrowing capacity under its revolving credit facility of $8.8 million. The Company believes it will generate sufficient cash to meet its debt covenants under its credit facilities to which certain of its subsidiaries are a party and that it will be able to obtain cash through its current and future credit facilities, if needed. Impact of COVID-19 In March 2020, the World Health Organization categorized the novel Coronavirus ("COVID-19") as a pandemic. The spread of the outbreak caused significant disruptions in certain sectors of the U.S. and global economies during 2020, and many economists expect the impact will be significant during the remainder of calendar 2021. The Company is subject to risks and uncertainties as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic. The Company continues to evaluate the global risks and the slowdown in business activity related to COVID-19, including the potential impacts on its employees, customers, suppliers and financial results. The effects of COVID-19 required temporary closures of certain of ModusLink's facilities for short periods of time during the fiscal year ended July 31, 2020. Additionally, although IWCO operated and continues to operate as an essential business, it has reduced operating levels and labor shifts due to lower sales volume during the current and prior fiscal year. As of the filing of this quarterly report on Form 10-Q, all of the Company's facilities were open and able to operate at normal capacities. To help mitigate the financial impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, the Company initiated cost reduction actions, including waiver of board fees, hiring freezes, staffing and force reductions, Company-wide salary reductions, bonus payment deferrals and temporary 401(k) match suspension. The temporary waiver of board fees and Company-wide salary reduction actions taken in the prior fiscal year were fully restored prior to the beginning of the current fiscal year, and the majority of salary reductions were repaid prior to the quarter ended January 31, 2021. The Company continues to focus on cash management and liquidity, which includes reduction of discretionary spending, aggressive working capital management, strict approvals for capital expenditures and other actions. The Company will evaluate further actions if circumstances warrant. As the situation surrounding COVID-19 remains fluid, it is difficult to predict the duration of the pandemic and the impact on the Company's business, operations, financial condition and cash flows. The severity of the impact on the Company's business for the remainder of calendar 2021 and beyond will depend on a number of factors, including, but not limited to, the duration and severity of the pandemic, the extent and severity of the impact on the Company's customers and suppliers, the continued disruption to demand for our businesses' products and services, and the impact of the global business and economic environment on liquidity and the availability of capital, all of which are uncertain and cannot be predicted. The Company's future results of operations and liquidity could also be adversely impacted by delays in payments of outstanding receivables beyond normal payment terms, supply chain disruptions and uncertain demand, and the effect of any initiatives or programs that the Company may undertake to address financial and operational challenges faced by its customers. There is also no certainty that federal, state or local regulations regarding safety measures to address the spread of COVID-19 will not adversely impact the Company's operations. Steel Holdings Expression of Interest On November 19, 2020, the Company's Board of Directors (the "Board") received a preliminary, non-binding expression of interest (the "Expression of Interest") from Steel Partners Holdings L.P. ("Steel Holdings") to acquire all of the outstanding shares of common stock not already owned by Steel Holdings or its affiliates for a combination of cash and Steel Holdings 6% Series A Preferred Units, which would imply a value per share of common stock in the range of $0.65 to $0.72 per share. The Board has established a special committee comprised solely of independent directors (the "Acquisition Proposal Special Committee") authorized to retain independent legal and financial advisors and to review, evaluate, negotiate and approve or disapprove the Expression of Interest, and to explore alternative strategies or transactions. The Acquisition Proposal Special Committee announced on January 11, 2021 that it had retained financial advisors and legal counsel. As set forth in the Expression of Interest, the proposed transaction will be subject to the approval of the Acquisition Proposal Special Committee, as well as a non-waivable condition requiring approval of a majority of the shares outstanding of the Company not owned by Steel Holdings and its affiliates and related parties. The Board resolutions establishing the Acquisition Proposal Special Committee expressly provide that the Board will not approve the proposed transaction contemplated by the Expression of Interest or any alternative thereto without a prior favorable recommendation by the Acquisition Proposal Special Committee. No decision has yet been made with respect to the Company's response to the Expression of Interest or any alternatives thereto. The Board has only received a proposal, which does not constitute an offer or proposal capable of acceptance and may be withdrawn at any time and in any manner. There can be no assurance that any definitive offer will be made, that any agreement will be executed or that the transaction proposed in the Expression of Interest or any other transaction will be approved or completed. The Company is not obligated to disclose any further developments or updates on the progress of the proposed transaction until either the Company enters into a definitive agreement or the Acquisition Proposal Special Committee determines no such transaction will be approved. |

Accounting Policies [Abstract] | |
BASIS OF PRESENTATION | BASIS OF PRESENTATION The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared by the Company in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("U.S. GAAP") for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all the information and footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of a normal recurring nature) considered necessary for fair presentation have been included. These unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements and related notes for the year ended July 31, 2020 (Fiscal Year 2020), which are contained in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on September 30, 2020. The results for the six months ended January 31, 2021 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full fiscal year. The year-end condensed consolidated balance sheet data was derived from audited consolidated financial statements, but does not include all disclosures required by U.S. GAAP. All significant intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated in consolidation. The Company considers events or transactions that occur after the balance sheet date but before the issuance of financial statements to provide additional evidence relative to certain estimates or to identify matters that require additional disclosure. For the six months ended January 31, 2021, the Company evaluated subsequent events for potential recognition and disclosure through the date these financial statements were filed. During the three months ended October 31, 2019, the Company recorded an adjustment to correct an out-of-period misstatement related to the Company's estimate for certain tax related liabilities, resulting in a $6.4 million reduction in selling, general and administrative expenses. |

RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS | RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS Adoption of New Accounting Standards In August 2018, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") 2018-13, Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820): Disclosure Framework-Changes to the Disclosure Requirements for Fair Value Measurement . ASU 2018-13 modifies the disclosure requirements on fair value measurements. The amendments in ASU 2018-13 were effective in the first quarter of the Company's fiscal year ending July 31, 2021 (Fiscal Year 2021). The adoption of the accounting standard did not have a material impact on the Company's financial statements. In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-14, Compensation-Retirement Benefits-Defined Benefit Plans-General (Subtopic 715-20): Disclosure Framework-Changes to the Disclosure Requirements for Defined Benefit Plans . ASU 2018-14 modifies the disclosure requirements for employers that sponsor defined benefit pension and other post-retirement plans. The amendments in ASU 2018-14 became effective in the first quarter of the Company's Fiscal Year 2021. The adoption of the accounting standard did not have a material impact on the Company's financial statements. In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-15, Intangibles-Goodwill and Other-Internal-Use Software (Subtopic 350-40): Customer's Accounting for Implementation Costs Incurred in a Cloud Computing Arrangement That Is a Service Contract (a consensus of the FASB Emerging Issues Task Force) to align the requirements for capitalizing implementation costs incurred in a hosting arrangement that is a service contract with the requirements for capitalizing implementation costs incurred to develop or obtain internal-use software (and hosting arrangements that include an internal use software license). The amendments in ASU 2018-15 became effective for the Company's first quarter of Fiscal Year 2021. The adoption of the accounting standard did not have a material impact on the Company's consolidated financial statements. Accounting Standards Issued and Not Yet Implemented In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-13, Financial Instruments-Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Loses on Financial Instruments , an ASU that requires measurement and recognition of expected credit losses for financial instruments, including trade receivables, based on historical experience, current conditions, and reasonable and supportable forecasts that affect the collectability of the reported amount. The ASU will be effective for the Company beginning in the first quarter of the fiscal year ending July 31, 2024 on a modified retrospective basis, which requires a cumulative effect adjustment to retained earnings as of the beginning of the first reporting period in which the guidance is effective. The Company is currently evaluating this guidance to determine the impact it may have on its consolidated financial statements. In December 2019, the FASB issued ASU 2019-12, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Simplifying the Accounting for Income Taxes , which amends the existing guidance relating to the accounting for income taxes. This ASU is intended to simplify the accounting for income taxes by removing certain exceptions to the general principles of accounting for income taxes and to improve the consistent application of U.S. GAAP for other areas of accounting for income taxes by clarifying and amending existing guidance. The new guidance is effective for the Company's first quarter of the fiscal year ending July 31, 2022. The Company does not expect that the adoption of this new guidance will have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements. In March 2020, the FASB issued ASU 2020-04, Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848): Facilitation of the Effects of Reference Rate Reform on Financial Reporting, which is intended to provide temporary optional expedients and exceptions for applying U.S. GAAP to contracts, hedging relationships and other transactions affected by the discontinuation of the London Interbank Offered Rate, known as LIBOR, or by another reference rate expected to be discontinued. This optional guidance is effective beginning on March 12, 2020, and the Company may elect to apply the amendments prospectively through December 31, 2022. The Company is currently evaluating this guidance to determine the impact it may have on its consolidated financial statements. In August 2020, the FASB issued ASU 2020-06, Debt-Debt with Conversion and Other Options (Subtopic 470-20) and Derivatives and Hedging-Contracts in Entity's Own Equity (Subtopic 815-40) . The amendment in this update simplifies the accounting for convertible instruments by reducing the number of accounting models available for convertible debt instruments and convertible preferred stock. This update also amends the guidance for the derivatives scope exception for contracts in an entity's own equity to reduce form-over-substance-based accounting conclusions and requires the application of the if-converted method for calculating diluted earnings per share. The update also requires entities to provide expanded disclosures about the terms and features of convertible instruments, how the instruments have been reported in the entity's financial statements and information about events, conditions and circumstances that can affect how to assess the amount or timing of an entity's future cash flows related to those instruments. The guidance is effective for interim and annual periods beginning in our fiscal year |

Goodwill and Intangible Assets Disclosure [Abstract] | |
GOODWILL AND INTANGIBLE ASSETS | GOODWILL AND INTANGIBLE ASSETS The Company's goodwill of $257.1 million as of January 31, 2021 relates to the Company's Direct Marketing reporting unit, which is the only reporting unit in the Direct Marketing reportable segment. The Company has not previously recognized any impairment losses for this reporting unit. Other intangible assets, net, as of January 31, 2021, include trademarks and tradenames, and customer relationships. The trademarks and tradenames intangible assets, which were fully amortized as of January 31, 2021, were being amortized on a straight-line basis and the customer relationship intangible assets are amortized using an accelerated method, which reflects the pattern in which the Company receives the economic benefit of the asset. The table below presents information for the Company's intangible assets: January 31, 2021 July 31, 2020 Weighted Average Amortization Period Gross Carrying Amount Accumulated Amortization Net Carrying Amount Gross Carrying Amount Accumulated Amortization Net Carrying Amount (in years) (In thousands) Customer relationships 15 $ 192,730 $ 69,361 $ 123,369 $ 192,730 $ 60,032 $ 132,698 Trademarks and trade names 3 20,520 20,520 — 20,520 17,955 2,565 Total $ 213,250 $ 89,881 $ 123,369 $ 213,250 $ 77,987 $ 135,263 The table below presents amortization expense recorded by the Company for other intangible assets: Three Months Ended Six Months Ended 2021 2020 2021 2020 (In thousands) Customer relationships $ 4,504 $ 5,197 $ 9,329 $ 10,764 Trademarks and trade names 855 1,714 2,565 3,424 Total $ 5,359 $ 6,911 $ 11,894 $ 14,188 In December 2020, a significant customer informed IWCO of its plan to transition the majority of its direct marketing services. This customer represents approximately 7.2% and 8.6% of IWCO's revenue for the six months ended January 31, 2021 and the year ended July 31, 2020, respectively. As a result, the Company performed an interim impairment test of Direct Marketing's goodwill and other long-lived assets as of January 31, 2021, and the Company determined goodwill and other long-lived assets were not impaired. The fair value of the Direct Marketing reporting unit was 6% higher than its carrying value as of January 31, 2021. The fair value was calculated using a discounted cash flow model (a form of the income approach) using the Company's current projections, which are subject to various risks and uncertainties associated with its forecasted revenue, expenses and cash flows, as well as the duration and expected impact on its business from the COVID-19 pandemic. The Company's significant assumptions in the analysis include, but are not limited to, future cash flow projections, the weighted average cost of capital, the |

As of both January 31, 2021 and July 31, 2020, the Company had accrued pricing liabilities of approximately $13.5 million. As previously reported by the Company, several principal adjustments were made to its historic financial statements for periods ending on or before January 31, 2012, the most significant of which related to the treatment of vendor rebates in its pricing policies. Where the retention of a rebate or a mark-up was determined to have been inconsistent with a client contract, the Company concluded that these amounts were not properly recorded as revenue. Accordingly, revenue was reduced by an equivalent amount for the period that the rebate was estimated to have been affected. A corresponding liability for the same amount was recorded in that period (referred to as accrued pricing liabilities). The Company believes that it may not ultimately be required to pay all or any of the accrued pricing liabilities based upon the expiration of statutes of limitations, and due in part to the nature of the interactions with its clients. The remaining accrued pricing liabilities as of January 31, 2021 will be derecognized when there is sufficient information for the Company to conclude that such liabilities are not subject to escheatment and have been extinguished, which may occur through payment, legal release, or other legal or factual determination. The Company has not provided for any provision for interest and or penalties related to escheatment as it has concluded that such is not probable to occur, and any potential interest and penalties cannot be reasonably estimated. |

SPHG Holdings has the right, at its option, prior to the close of business on the business day immediately preceding the SPHG Note Maturity Date, to convert the SPHG Note or a portion thereof that is $1,000 or an integral multiple thereof, into shares of common stock (if the Company has not received a required stockholder approval) or cash, shares of common stock or a combination of cash and shares of common stock, as applicable (if the Company has received a required stockholder approval), at an initial conversion rate of 421.2655 shares of common stock, which is equivalent to an initial conversion price of approximately $2.37 per share (subject to adjustment as provided in the SPHG Note) per $1,000 principal amount of the SPHG Note, subject to, and in accordance with, the settlement provisions of the SPHG Note. As of January 31, 2021, the if-converted value of the SPHG Note did not exceed the principal value of the SPHG Note. As of January 31, 2021, the remaining period over which the unamortized discount will be amortized is 37 months. As of January 31, 2021 and July 31, 2020, the net carrying value of the SPHG Note was $8.7 million and $8.1 million, respectively.

Amendment No. 1 amends the MidCap credit agreement to permit special cash dividends to be made on or prior to July 31, 2021 in an aggregate amount not to exceed $50.0 million (the "Special Distributions") to Steel Connect, Inc., its parent. Payment of the Special Distributions will eliminate the availability of the general dividend basket for the fiscal year ending July 31, 2021. Special Distributions totaling $40.0 million were made to Steel Connect, Inc. during the quarter ended January 31, 2021. In addition, Amendment No. 1 incorporates a new minimum liquidity financial covenant, which requires that the sum of excess availability under the MidCap credit agreement and the amount of qualified cash and cash equivalents of the borrower is not less than $3.0 million until the earlier of July 31, 2021 or the date on which the borrower has either distributed the maximum amount of the Special Distributions or waived the ability to make further Special Distributions. Among other things, Amendment No. 1 also increases the percentage of eligible accounts included in the borrowing base from 50% to 75% and amends the condition for borrowing of revolving loans after the effective date of Amendment No. 1 to require evidence that specified availability (the sum of excess availability and the difference between the borrowing base and the aggregate revolving loan commitments) is not less than $3.0 million prior to giving effect to any such borrowing. |

CONTINGENCIES | CONTINGENCIESOn April 13, 2018, a purported shareholder, Donald Reith, filed a verified complaint, Reith v. Lichtenstein, et al., 2018-277 (Del. Ch.) in the Delaware Court of Chancery. The complaint alleges class and derivative claims for breach of fiduciary duty and/or aiding and abetting breach of fiduciary duty and unjust enrichment against the Board, Warren G. Lichtenstein, Glen M. Kassan, William T. Fejes, Jack L. Howard, Jeffrey J. Fenton, Philip E. Lengyel and Jeffrey S. Wald; and stockholders Steel Holdings, Steel Partners, Ltd., SPHG Holdings, Handy & Harman Ltd. and WHX CS Corp. (collectively, the "Steel Parties") in connection with the acquisition of $35.0 million of the Series C Convertible Preferred Stock by SPHG Holdings and equity grants made to Messrs. Lichtenstein, Howard and Fejes on December 15, 2017 (collectively, the "Challenged Transactions"). The Company is named as a nominal defendant. The complaint alleges that although the Challenged Transactions were approved by a Special Committee consisting of the independent members of the Board (Messrs. Fenton, Lengyel and Wald), the Steel Parties dominated and controlled the Special Committee, who approved the Challenged Transactions in breach of their fiduciary duty. Plaintiff alleges that the Challenged Transactions unfairly diluted shareholders and therefore unjustly enriched Steel Holdings, SPHG Holdings and Messrs. Lichtenstein, Howard and Fejes. The complaint also alleges that the Board made misleading disclosures in the Company's proxy statement for the 2017 Annual Meeting of Stockholders in connection with seeking approval to amend the 2010 Incentive Award Plan to authorize the issuance of additional shares to accommodate certain shares underlying the equity grants. Remedies requested include rescission of the Series C Convertible Preferred Stock and equity grants, disgorgement of any unjustly obtained property or compensation and monetary damages. On June 8, 2018, defendants moved to dismiss the complaint for failure to plead demand futility and failure to state a claim. On June 28, 2019, the Court denied most of the motion to dismiss allowing the matter to proceed. Discovery is proceeding, and trial dates have been set for this matter to begin in February 2022. Based on information currently available, the Company is unable to reasonably estimate a possible loss or range of possible losses, if any, with regard to the lawsuit; therefore, no litigation reserve has been recorded in the Company's condensed consolidated balance sheets. Although there can be no assurance as to the ultimate outcome, the Company believes it has meritorious defenses, continues to deny liability and intends to defend this litigation vigorously. |

Revenue related to the majority of IWCO's marketing solutions contracts, which typically consist of a single integrated performance obligation, is recognized over time as the Company performs because the products have no alternative use to the Company. Supply Chain Management Services ModusLink's revenue primarily comes from the sale of supply chain management services to its clients. Amounts billed to customers under these arrangements include revenue attributable to the services performed as well as for materials procured on the customer's behalf as part of its service to them. The majority of these arrangements consist of two distinct performance obligations (i.e., warehousing/inventory management service and a separate kitting/packaging/assembly service), revenue related to each of which is recognized over time as services are performed using an input method based on the level of efforts expended. Other Other revenue consists of cloud-based software subscriptions, software maintenance and support service contracts, and fees for professional services. Revenue related to these arrangements is recognized on a straight-line basis over the term of the agreement or over the term of the agreement in proportion to the costs incurred in satisfying the obligations under the contract. Contract Balances Timing of revenue recognition may differ from timing of invoicing to customers. The Company records contract assets and liabilities related to its contracts with customers as follows: • Accounts receivable when revenue is recognized prior to receipt of cash payments and if the right to such amounts is unconditional and solely based on the passage of time. • Contract asset when the Company recognizes revenue based on efforts expended but the right to such amount is conditional upon satisfaction of another performance obligation. Contract assets are primarily comprised of fees related to marketing solutions offerings and supply chain management services. The Company's contract assets are all short-term in nature and are included in prepaid expenses and other current assets in the condensed consolidated balance sheets. • Deferred revenue when cash payments are received or due in advance of performance. Deferred revenue is primarily comprised of fees related to supply chain management services, cloud-based software subscriptions and software maintenance and support service contracts, which are generally billed in advance. Deferred revenue also includes other offerings for which we have been paid in advance and earn the revenue when we transfer control of the product or service. The deferred revenue balance is classified as a component of other current liabilities and other long-term liabilities on the Company's condensed consolidated balance sheets. The table below presents information for the Company's contract balances: January 31, July 31, (In thousands) Accounts receivable, trade, net $ 86,455 $ 93,072 Contract assets $ 16,589 $ 13,016 Deferred revenue - current $ 5,292 $ 2,860 Deferred revenue - long-term 202 85 Total deferred revenue $ 5,494 $ 2,945 Remaining Performance Obligations Remaining performance obligations are comprised of deferred revenue. Changes in deferred revenue during the six months ended January 31, 2021 and January 31, 2020, were as follows: Six Months Ended 2021 2020 (In thousands) Balance at beginning of period $ 2,945 $ 3,029 Deferral of revenue 4,417 2,669 Recognition of deferred amounts upon satisfaction of performance obligation (1,868) (1,705) Balance at end of period $ 5,494 $ 3,993 We expect to recognize approximately $5.3 million of the deferred revenue over the next twelve months and the remaining $0.2 million beyond that time period. The Company does not disclose the value of unsatisfied performance obligations for (i) contracts with an original expected length of one year or less and (ii) contracts for which we recognize revenue at the amount to which we have the right to invoice for services performed. |

Income Tax Disclosure [Abstract] | |
INCOME TAXES | INCOME TAXES The Company operates in multiple taxing jurisdictions, both within and outside of the United States. For the six months ended January 31, 2021, the Company was profitable in certain jurisdictions, resulting in an income tax expense using enacted rates in those jurisdictions. As of January 31, 2021 and July 31, 2020, the total amount of the liability for unrecognized tax benefits related to federal, state and foreign taxes was approximately $2.6 million and $2.8 million, respectively. On March 27, 2020, the President of the United States signed the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security ("CARES") Act into law, which is intended to respond to the COVID-19 pandemic and its impact on the economy, public health, state and local governments, individuals and businesses. The CARES Act contains numerous tax provisions, including temporary changes to the future limitations on interest deductions related to section 163j and deferral of payment of the employer portion of social security taxes through the end of calendar year 2020. The Company elected to defer the employer-paid portion of social security taxes, which is expected to provide the Company with approximately $5.3 million of additional liquidity during the current calendar year, with 50% of the deferral due December 31, 2021 and the remaining 50% due December 31, 2022. The Company does not expect the provisions of the CARES Act to have a significant impact on the income tax provision, income tax payable or deferred income tax positions of the Company. Uncertain Tax Positions In accordance with the Company's accounting policy, interest related to unrecognized tax benefits is included in the income tax expense line of the condensed consolidated statements of operations. As of January 31, 2021 and July 31, 2020, the liabilities for interest expense related to uncertain tax positions were $0.3 million and $0.3 million, respectively. The Company has accrued $0.4 million for penalties related to income tax positions. The Company expects $0.6 million of unrecognized tax benefits and related interest to reverse in the next twelve months. The Company is subject to U.S. federal income tax and various state, local and international income taxes in numerous jurisdictions. The federal and state tax returns are generally subject to tax examinations for the tax years ended July 31, 2017 through July 31, 2020. To the extent the Company has tax attribute carryforwards, the tax year in which the attribute was generated may still be adjusted upon examination by the Internal Revenue Service or state tax authorities to the extent utilized in a future period. In addition, a number of tax years remain subject to examination by the appropriate government agencies for certain countries in the Europe and Asia regions. In Europe, the Company's 2012 through 2019 tax years remain subject to examination in most locations, while the Company's 2008 through 2019 tax years remain subject to examination in most Asia locations. |

Diluted net earnings per common share, if any, gives effect to diluted stock options (calculated based on the treasury stock method), non-vested restricted stock shares purchased under the employee stock purchase plan and shares issuable upon debt or preferred stock conversion (calculated using an as-if converted method). For the three months ended January 31, 2021 and 2020, approximately 24.2 million and 24.5 million, respectively, common stock equivalent shares (including those related to convertible debt and preferred stock) were excluded from the denominator in the calculation of diluted net loss per share as their inclusion would have been antidilutive. For the six months ended January 31, 2021 and 2020, approximately 24.2 million and 24.5 million, respectively, common stock equivalent shares (including those related to convertible debt and preferred stock) were excluded from the denominator in the calculation of diluted net earnings per share as their inclusion would have been antidilutive. |

Segment Reporting [Abstract] | |
SEGMENT INFORMATION | SEGMENT INFORMATION The Company has two operating segments which are the same as its reportable segments: Direct Marketing and Supply Chain. The Company also has Corporate-level activity, which consists primarily of costs associated with certain corporate administrative functions such as legal, finance and share-based compensation, which are not allocated to the Company's reportable segments. The Corporate-level balance sheet information includes cash and cash equivalents, debt and other assets and liabilities which are not identifiable to the operations of the Company's operating segments. All significant intra-segment amounts have been eliminated. Management evaluates segment performance based on segment net revenue and operating income (loss). Summarized financial information by operating segment is as follows: Three Months Ended Six Months Ended 2021 2020 2021 2020 (In thousands) Net revenue: Direct Marketing $ 91,155 $ 123,117 $ 196,863 $ 256,120 Supply Chain 64,892 92,335 129,118 184,485 $ 156,047 $ 215,452 $ 325,981 $ 440,605 Operating income: Direct Marketing $ 5,769 $ 4,217 $ 10,706 $ 15,420 Supply Chain 4,957 5,763 10,108 12,273 Total segment operating income 10,726 9,980 20,814 27,693 Corporate-level activity (2,045) (2,807) (5,058) (5,778) Total operating income 8,681 7,173 15,756 21,915 Total other expense (9,986) (9,542) (19,808) (18,137) (Loss) income before income taxes $ (1,305) $ (2,369) $ (4,052) $ 3,778 January 31, July 31, (In thousands) Total assets: Direct Marketing $ 568,424 $ 584,477 Supply Chain 112,476 169,490 Sub-total—segment assets 680,900 753,967 Corporate 44,996 5,205 $ 725,896 $ 759,172 Summarized financial information of the Company's net revenue from external customers by group of services is as follows: Three Months Ended Six Months Ended 2021 2020 2021 2020 (In thousands) Products: Direct Marketing $ 91,155 $ 123,117 $ 196,863 $ 256,120 Services: Supply Chain 64,892 92,335 129,118 184,485 $ 156,047 $ 215,452 $ 325,981 $ 440,605 Summarized financial information of the Company's net revenue by geographic location is as follows: Three Months Ended Six Months Ended 2021 2020 2021 2020 (In thousands) United States $ 108,280 $ 145,293 $ 229,763 $ 299,714 China 22,409 32,569 42,049 72,026 Netherlands 5,387 11,071 13,182 21,719 Other 19,971 26,519 40,987 47,146 $ 156,047 $ 215,452 $ 325,981 $ 440,605 |

FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS
FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS | 6 Months Ended |

Fair Value Disclosures [Abstract] | |
FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS | FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS ASC 820 provides that fair value is an exit price, representing the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants based on the highest and best use of the asset or liability. As such, fair value is a market-based measurement that should be determined based on assumptions that market participants would use in pricing an asset or liability. ASC 820 requires the Company to use valuation techniques to measure fair value that maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs. These inputs are prioritized as follows: Level 1: Observable inputs such as quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in active markets Level 2: Other inputs that are observable directly or indirectly, such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities or market-corroborated inputs Level 3: Unobservable inputs for which there is little or no market data and which require the Company to develop its own assumptions about how market participants would price the assets or liabilities The carrying value of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, restricted cash, accounts payable, current liabilities and the revolving line of credit approximate fair value because of the short maturity of these instruments. We believe that the carrying value of our long-term debt approximates fair value because the stated interest rates of this debt is consistent with current market rates. The carrying value of capital lease obligations approximates fair value, as estimated by using discounted future cash flows based on the Company's current incremental borrowing rates for similar types of borrowing arrangements. Assets and Liabilities that are Measured at Fair Value on a Recurring Basis The following tables present the Company's financial assets measured at fair value on a recurring basis as of January 31, 2021 and July 31, 2020, classified by fair value hierarchy: Fair Value Measurements at Reporting Date Using (In thousands) January 31, 2021 Level 1 Level 2 Level 3 Assets: Money market funds $ 45,121 $ 45,121 $ — $ — Fair Value Measurements at Reporting Date Using (In thousands) July 31, 2020 Level 1 Level 2 Level 3 Assets: Money market funds $ 5,117 $ 5,117 $ — $ — There were no transfers between Levels 1, 2 or 3 during any of the periods presented. When available, quoted prices are used to determine fair value. When quoted prices in active markets are available, investments are classified within Level 1 of the fair value hierarchy. When quoted prices in active markets are not available, fair values are determined using pricing models, and the inputs to those pricing models are based on observable market inputs. The inputs to the pricing models are typically benchmark yields, reported trades, broker-dealer quotes, issuer spreads and benchmark securities, among others. Assets and Liabilities that are Measured at Fair Value on a Nonrecurring Basis The Company reviews the carrying amounts of these assets whenever certain events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amounts may not be recoverable. An impairment loss is recognized when the carrying amount of the asset group or reporting unit is not recoverable and exceeds its fair value. The Company estimates the fair values of assets subject to impairment based on the Company's own judgments about the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the assets and on observable market data, when available. Fair Value of Financial Instruments The Company's financial instruments not measured at fair value on a recurring basis include cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, customer deposits, accounts payable, restricted cash and debt, and are reflected in the consolidated financial statements at carrying value. With the exception of the SPHG Note and long-term debt, carrying value approximates fair value for these items due to their short-term nature. The Company believes that the carrying value of the liability component of the SPHG Note and our long-term debt approximates fair value because the stated interest rates of this debt is consistent with current market rates. Included in cash and cash equivalents in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets are money market funds. These are valued at quoted market prices in active markets. |

Accounting Policies [Abstract] | |
Basis of Accounting | The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared by the Company in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("U.S. GAAP") for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all the information and footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of a normal recurring nature) considered necessary for fair presentation have been included. These unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements and related notes for the year ended July 31, 2020 (Fiscal Year 2020), which are contained in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on September 30, 2020. The results for the six months ended January 31, 2021 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full fiscal year. The year-end condensed consolidated balance sheet data was derived from audited consolidated financial statements, but does not include all disclosures required by U.S. GAAP. |
Consolidation | All significant intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated in consolidation. |
Recent Accounting Pronouncements | RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS Adoption of New Accounting Standards In August 2018, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") 2018-13, Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820): Disclosure Framework-Changes to the Disclosure Requirements for Fair Value Measurement . ASU 2018-13 modifies the disclosure requirements on fair value measurements. The amendments in ASU 2018-13 were effective in the first quarter of the Company's fiscal year ending July 31, 2021 (Fiscal Year 2021). The adoption of the accounting standard did not have a material impact on the Company's financial statements. In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-14, Compensation-Retirement Benefits-Defined Benefit Plans-General (Subtopic 715-20): Disclosure Framework-Changes to the Disclosure Requirements for Defined Benefit Plans . ASU 2018-14 modifies the disclosure requirements for employers that sponsor defined benefit pension and other post-retirement plans. The amendments in ASU 2018-14 became effective in the first quarter of the Company's Fiscal Year 2021. The adoption of the accounting standard did not have a material impact on the Company's financial statements. In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-15, Intangibles-Goodwill and Other-Internal-Use Software (Subtopic 350-40): Customer's Accounting for Implementation Costs Incurred in a Cloud Computing Arrangement That Is a Service Contract (a consensus of the FASB Emerging Issues Task Force) to align the requirements for capitalizing implementation costs incurred in a hosting arrangement that is a service contract with the requirements for capitalizing implementation costs incurred to develop or obtain internal-use software (and hosting arrangements that include an internal use software license). The amendments in ASU 2018-15 became effective for the Company's first quarter of Fiscal Year 2021. The adoption of the accounting standard did not have a material impact on the Company's consolidated financial statements. Accounting Standards Issued and Not Yet Implemented In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-13, Financial Instruments-Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Loses on Financial Instruments , an ASU that requires measurement and recognition of expected credit losses for financial instruments, including trade receivables, based on historical experience, current conditions, and reasonable and supportable forecasts that affect the collectability of the reported amount. The ASU will be effective for the Company beginning in the first quarter of the fiscal year ending July 31, 2024 on a modified retrospective basis, which requires a cumulative effect adjustment to retained earnings as of the beginning of the first reporting period in which the guidance is effective. The Company is currently evaluating this guidance to determine the impact it may have on its consolidated financial statements. In December 2019, the FASB issued ASU 2019-12, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Simplifying the Accounting for Income Taxes , which amends the existing guidance relating to the accounting for income taxes. This ASU is intended to simplify the accounting for income taxes by removing certain exceptions to the general principles of accounting for income taxes and to improve the consistent application of U.S. GAAP for other areas of accounting for income taxes by clarifying and amending existing guidance. The new guidance is effective for the Company's first quarter of the fiscal year ending July 31, 2022. The Company does not expect that the adoption of this new guidance will have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements. In March 2020, the FASB issued ASU 2020-04, Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848): Facilitation of the Effects of Reference Rate Reform on Financial Reporting, which is intended to provide temporary optional expedients and exceptions for applying U.S. GAAP to contracts, hedging relationships and other transactions affected by the discontinuation of the London Interbank Offered Rate, known as LIBOR, or by another reference rate expected to be discontinued. This optional guidance is effective beginning on March 12, 2020, and the Company may elect to apply the amendments prospectively through December 31, 2022. The Company is currently evaluating this guidance to determine the impact it may have on its consolidated financial statements. In August 2020, the FASB issued ASU 2020-06, Debt-Debt with Conversion and Other Options (Subtopic 470-20) and Derivatives and Hedging-Contracts in Entity's Own Equity (Subtopic 815-40) . The amendment in this update simplifies the accounting for convertible instruments by reducing the number of accounting models available for convertible debt instruments and convertible preferred stock. This update also amends the guidance for the derivatives scope exception for contracts in an entity's own equity to reduce form-over-substance-based accounting conclusions and requires the application of the if-converted method for calculating diluted earnings per share. The update also requires entities to provide expanded disclosures about the terms and features of convertible instruments, how the instruments have been reported in the entity's financial statements and information about events, conditions and circumstances that can affect how to assess the amount or timing of an entity's future cash flows related to those instruments. The guidance is effective for interim and annual periods beginning in our fiscal year |
