How to automate manual work in Returns? Integrate your systems!

For many businesses, handling returns and claims is a highly manual process

Brands and retailers who receive many returns and claims often waste a lot of time on manual processes.

You can notice how manual it is by visiting your team that handles returns. Look them over the shoulder as they sit in front of their computer and notice the process in detail.

Do they spend time switching between different systems in different windows?

Do they consistently look up data in one system just to copy paste it into another?

That’s all repetitive work that could be automated.
