Expected Outcomes
Measurable results our retail & e-commerce clients achieve with claims processing.
Automated validation and classification eliminates the manual review process, enabling same-day resolution for straightforward claims.
Documented shipping damage claims with photos and carrier tracking data enable consistent recovery from carrier insurance.
Product quality and listing accuracy improvements driven by return data analysis reduce the overall return rate.
The Challenge
Common claims processing challenges facing retail & e-commerce businesses.
Return requests arrive via email, social media, and phone with inconsistent information, creating a manual triage and response burden.
Shipping damage claims against carriers are rarely pursued because gathering the required evidence is too time-consuming.
No analysis of return reasons by product means high-return products continue to generate costs without corrective action.
Australian Consumer Law obligations require specific responses to different claim types, but staff are not consistently applying the correct approach.
Implementation
How we implement claims processing for your retail & e-commerce business.
Return and Refund Claim Intake
Customer returns, refund requests, warranty claims, and shipping damage reports are captured through an online portal with order numbers, product photos, defect descriptions, and desired resolution (refund, replacement, repair).
- ✓ Tools: Typeform, Shopify, Make
Claim Validation and Classification
Claims are automatically matched to the order record in Shopify or Square. The system validates return eligibility based on the return policy, warranty period, and product category. Claims are classified by reason (defective, not as described, change of mind, shipping damage).
- ✓ Tools: Shopify, Square, Airtable
Resolution Workflow
Each claim type follows a defined resolution path. Defective products trigger a replacement shipment. Not-as-described claims prompt a listing review. Shipping damage claims are compiled for carrier insurance recovery. Change of mind returns follow the standard return process.
- ✓ Tools: Airtable, Slack, Shopify
Returns Analytics and Product Quality
Return rates, reasons, and costs are tracked by product, category, and sales channel. High-return products are flagged for listing improvement or removal. Shipping damage patterns trigger carrier performance reviews.
- ✓ Tools: Looker Studio, Google Sheets, Airtable
