Die Rücksendeplattform von ZigZag ermöglichte die Einführung innovativer Rückgabe-Kioske in ausgewählten New Look-Geschäften im August 2023. Diese Kioske bieten eine kostenlose und bequeme Rückgabeoption, reduzieren die Bearbeitungszeit für das Personal im Geschäft und verbessern die Datenerfassung. Kunden können Artikel leicht zurückgeben, indem sie „Rückgabe im Geschäft“ auswählen, einen QR-Code erhalten und ihr Paket ohne Drucker abgeben.
We tailor the criteria to meet each retailer's needs so that parcels arrive quickly at their designated locations or at lower cost.

Un-intended returns is delivery back to the sender without being expected or not in accordance with standard return procedures (for example the last mile carrier failed to deliver the parcel to the customer because of wrong address).
Validation is the process of verifying whether the item being returned matches the data provided by the customer (for instance, whether there is a t-shirt in the box or a brick). The validation process may be confined to tag confirmation, which can involve checking the product reference on the package or an additional label. For certain luxury items, there are systems in place to read electronic tags on the items to also validate authenticity.
Grading is usually the next step after validation. It assesses the condition of the returned item and serves as a quality label according to pre-defined criteria. Grading helps decide the most cost-effective and responsible next step: restock, refurbish, resell at a discount, recycle, etc. Additionally, returns with varying grades may involve different routes as subsequent legs of the journey.
With prompt validation as soon as the parcel arrives at the receiving warehouse of ZigZag, the retailer will have peace of mind regarding what will be delivered a few days later to his warehouse.
"Where is my refund?" ranks among the top three inquiries in customer support. Since the items being returned are verified at an earlier stage in the parcel's journey, the time needed to initiate the subsequent actions for refunds or exchanges is reduced.
Incorporating validation into the operations of the receiving warehouse means that returns do not need to be dispatched immediately on the next truck for the remainder of their journey. The retailer will have item-level visibility to facilitate processing of the next steps. This provides the opportunity to optimise the palletising during consolidation, select a different carrier service, and always achieve a full load of returns.
With grading, the retailer is able to specify various destination warehouses and receive the goods for quicker back-to-shelf processing.
The pre-sorting as result of the grading also is optimising the operations and the workload at the retailer's warehouse.
Optimised truck loading with full pallets, arranging destinations according to the quality of the items, addresses sustainability and circular economy goals.
