Fulfillment
Returns and RMA Automation
Automate the returns process from initiation through restocking, refund, and credit memo creation.
Why this workflow needs automation
Returns involve multiple systems and teams — the storefront, warehouse, ERP, and payment processor. Without automation, returns are slow, customers wait weeks for refunds, and inventory isn't restocked promptly, leading to lost sales and poor customer experience.
