“We have done automation probably everywhere we could such as returns, exchange and the whole experience of the customers. Soon, we will be testing technologies like Artificial Intelligence and we are also planning to live-stream the videos.”

How does automation help in eCommerce returns & exchanges?

Returns and Exchange are tricky sections of eCommerce as, if a brand loses to gain customers’ experience with their returns then it will reciprocate to the brand’s lost identity, trust, and loyalty among the new visitors/customers by inviting bitter word-of-mouth of itself.

On asking, How Snitch deals with Returns and exchanges, and how they make it a hassle-free experience? Siddharth R Dungerwal answered it as,

“Customer journey and customer experience are an important part of any eCommerce platform, so we have done automation in regards to our exchange, as soon as an exchange order is placed, once the pick-up is done, the new order is automatically generated and shipped within 24 hours. So that, we don’t miss out on time when the product comes back and QC is done, and the fresh order is again sent out, same with returns when the order is picked up from customers residence, the refund is initiated within 35-40 mins.” 

Delivering a good post-purchase experience can give great repeat business to D2C brands, as achieved by Snitch, it has a 44-48% of repeat purchase rate on its website.

The new age D2C brands need to focus on their returns and exchange as well and turn them into a growth engine for their eCommerce business. The brands can convert their returns into an opportunity by delivering the best return experience to their customers with an automated return management system.

With return automation in place, the brands can retain more than 80% of their return customer.

Surely, D2C brands can take leverage of the eCommerce automated solutions, cut the costs incurred on manually handled operations and make a good profit on their business.
