Sendcloud and epoq Optimise Digital Returns Management Together

08. Jul 2021 | Daniela Ilincic 0:00

Ettlingen, 08.07.2021 - Sendcloud, Europe's leading provider of shipping software for online shops, and epoq internet services, provider of AI-supported personalisation software for e-commerce, are pooling their knowledge of returns and jointly optimising digital returns management. The focus is on avoiding returns and efficiently designing the returns process.

Avoiding returns through personalised advice

When customers visit an online retailer, they usually have a rough idea of which product they want to buy. However, they often do not know which product meets their requirements. At this point, the need must first be determined. This is where epoq comes into play and provides every online customer with the expert advice they are used to in stationary retail. The whole thing is implemented by digital and intuitive product advisors who, on the basis of artificial intelligence, determine exactly those products that match the needs and individual preferences of the respective customer. “Through arguments and comparisons, uncertainty is reduced click by click. This leads to the right purchase decision and at the same time helps to avoid returns. However, since not all returns can be 100% prevented, Sendcloud supports the returns process with an efficiency-increasing returns portal,” says Thorsten Mühling, CEO of epoq.

Returns portal for an efficient returns process

Sendcloud supports retailers in optimising the entire shipping process. This also includes processing returns with the help of a returns portal. If customers want to return an order, they go to the returns portal and create the shipping label by clicking on the product to be returned and selecting the reason for return. In just a few steps, shop customers can initiate their return themselves, the online retailer thus keeps track of all returning orders and avoids errors in returns. Also, in contrast to enclosed return slips, he saves resources and does not run the risk of suggesting and encouraging a return. “By working together, the two components of returns management can be sustainably optimised, which contributes to a better customer experience that also saves resources on the shop operator side,” says Lena Dietrich, Partner Success Manager DACH at Sendcloud.
