Use case 34
Operations use case
Returns & Reverse Logistics Automation
Automate return evaluation, routing, inventory updates, and refund processing to streamline reverse logistics and recovery tracking.
The problem
Why this breaks as brands scale.
Returns processing is manual, inconsistent, and costly, leading to delays and revenue leakage.
Routing decisions are made manually without standardized rules.
Inventory and finance updates are delayed after returns.
Refund processing exceeds defined SLAs.
Recovery value and return trends are not systematically tracked.
