How much would a returns management software cost me? Is it really necessary to invest in a software like this if I have a small-scaled business?

Product return management is something that highly demands software specifically made for it. This is your product traveling back to your warehouse, and controlling the same is called reverse logistics management. This, regardless of small- or medium-scale, is recommended for every retailer offering returns.

Ok, so the returns management system will notify me whenever a customer wishes to return a product. How will it help me to initiate the reverse logistics process? Do I need to do it manually or will the software assist me here?

A returns management system smartly integrates your business with the marketplaces where your products are listed, as well as connects you with your logistics partners. The moment your customer returns a product, the returns management system will alert you (the seller) and on the same instance alert your logistics partner as well to collect the product from the customer. This will automatically initiate the reverse logistics process.

How can I, being a seller, arrange the quality checks when the customer is returning a product? Will my logistics partner help me with it?

Every logistics agency has its own set of parameters when it comes to the quality check. A quality checker can be assigned by the logistics agency for the same but is separately charged from the seller. Being a seller, you have to set the price in a smart way that even if the product is returned, there is no impact on the financials of the business.

How can I return the money to the customer after the product return is initiated?

There are plenty of options available for this. Most of the sellers practice bank transfers, but there are some who also cater to provide cash at the time of returning the product. Whenever the payment is done via β€˜cash on delivery’ and a return is placed, a customer always appreciates if the money is returned in cash.

If you are a seller listed on a marketplace, there are chances that you might need to act as per the marketplace’s protocols. Marketplaces have started to disburse the payments in their own wallets, just to ensure that the customer is not lost. These are some tactics that marketplaces follow, but if you are a small-scale seller, eyeing for customer satisfaction, make sure that the money is properly returned to the customer.
