Parcel & Returns Management

Returns processed inline with outbound — inspected, photographed, restocked or scrapped — with refund triggered through your platform. Returns stop being a black hole.

What returns management covers

From inbound RMA to restocked unit, audited end to end.

1

Inbound RMA inspection

Returned units inspected against the RMA, photographed, and categorized — restockable, refurbish, scrap. The buyer doesn't pay for what wasn't returned.

2

Disposition + refund trigger

Disposition decided per category. Refund triggered through Shopify / BigCommerce / Amazon return management API the moment the unit clears inspection.

3

Restock or recovery

Restockable units back to pickable inventory same shift. Refurbish units routed to a rework lane. Scrap documented for tax write-off.

How a return runs

Four steps from delivery to restocked or scrapped.

  1. 01

    RMA inbound

    Returned parcel arrives. RMA number scanned, original order pulled, condition photographed before unboxing.

  2. 02

    Inspect + categorize

    Unit inspected against RMA reason. Restockable, refurbish, or scrap categorized at the station. Photo evidence captured at decision.

  3. 03

    Disposition

    Restockable units relabeled (where required) and put back on pick. Refurbish units routed to rework. Scrap documented for write-off.

  4. 04

    Refund + report

    Refund or replacement triggered through your platform API. Daily returns report pushed to your team with rate-by-reason analytics.

Consumers were just delighted to have a better process, but then once they figured it out, the gaming began.

Why brands move returns to us

Returns get built before they're on fire.

1

Inline workflow, not back-of-warehouse.

Returns processed inline with outbound, not stacked on a back wall. Restockable units re-enter inventory the same shift they arrived.

2

Photo evidence at decision.

Disposition decision photographed. Buyer disputes don't end in 'we lost the unit' — they end in 'here's the photo'.

3

Rate-by-reason analytics.

Daily report by return reason. You see which SKUs and which sources are driving returns before margin gets eaten quietly.

4

Refund triggered through your platform.

Shopify, BigCommerce, Amazon return-management API integrated. No spreadsheet middleware between disposition and refund.
