In the ever-evolving world of retail, staying ahead of the curve means constantly innovating to meet the demands of both consumers and businesses. For furniture brands and retailers, one of the most significant challenges is poorly documented returns and claims processed via email and Excel, resulting in unnecessary communication issues and inefficient workflows – and this is where returns and claims solution provider Claimlane steps in …
With over 8000 brands and retailers relying on its services (including renowned furniture company Cult), Claimlane has proven its credibility and effectiveness time and again.

Traditional methods often involve poorly documented returns and claims via email and Excel spreadsheets, leading to unnecessary communication and inefficiencies. Handling various return and claim types manually results in chaotic workflows, says Claimlane, while a lack of insight into why products are returned or faulty leads to recurring quality issues.
