La plateforme de retours de ZigZag a permis l’introduction de kiosques de retour innovants dans certains magasins New Look en août 2023. Ces kiosques offrent une option de retour gratuite et pratique, réduisant le temps de traitement pour le personnel en magasin et améliorant la collecte de données. Les clients peuvent facilement retourner des articles en sélectionnant « Retour en magasin », en recevant un QR code et en déposant leur colis sans étiquette.
Rachel a souligné que les kiosques non seulement rationalisaient le processus, mais résolvaient également le problème des raisons de retour inexactes. Les clients, parfois réticents à discuter des problèmes de taille avec le personnel en magasin, peuvent désormais fournir des données précises via les kiosques, ce qui contribue à une meilleure prise de décision pour les équipes de New Look.
En février 2023, New Look a mis en place des retours payants pour faire face à l'augmentation des coûts de logistique inverse. Malgré des préoccupations initiales, les retours des clients ont été positifs.
Reduce the drain on your business resources and enhance customer satisfaction by enabling quicker initiation of the refund or exchange process with validation at ZigZag’s Returns Hub.
Ensure the safety of your business operations with early visibility on return items to mitigate fraudulent activities.
Des capacités de suivi améliorées ont entraîné une baisse de 20 % des demandes de type « Où est mon retour ? ». Les clients reçoivent désormais des e-mails de confirmation à différentes étapes du processus de retour, améliorant la transparence et réduisant le besoin de demandes d’informations.Le score Trustpilot de New Look est passé de 4,3 à 4,7, reflétant une amélioration de la satisfaction client. Cette augmentation a eu lieu en même temps que la mise en œuvre des retours payants.

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.
