What Is Returns Management?
Returns management is the process of authorizing, shipping, and processing customer returns efficiently. In ecommerce, where 20–30% of orders are returned (National Retail Federation, 2024), effective returns management isn’t optional—it’s essential. We help brands build scalable systems to control costs, meet customer expectations, and turn returns into repeat sales opportunities.

FAQs
What is an RMA and why does it matter?
A Return Merchandise Authorization (RMA) is a unique code that authorizes and tracks product returns. RMA management streamlines the returns process, prevents errors, and reduces fraud, enabling brands to process refunds or exchanges quickly while maintaining inventory accuracy and improving customer trust in returns management.
How is returns management different from reverse logistics?
Returns management focuses on customer-facing processes—authorizations, shipping labels, refunds, and exchanges. Reverse logistics is the backend system of moving returned goods through the supply chain for restocking, repairs, or recycling. Together, they create a seamless returns experience, reduce costs, and optimize inventory for ecommerce businesses.
What KPIs should brands track for returns performance?
Key KPIs include return rate, cost per return, time to refund, salvage rate, and reasons for returns. Tracking these returns management metrics helps brands improve policies, enhance customer satisfaction, and identify product quality issues while optimizing operational efficiency and profitability.
How does automation improve the returns experience?
Automation in returns management simplifies approvals, generates return labels, and integrates tracking updates. It reduces manual tasks, prevents fraud, and speeds refunds, lowering costs by up to 25% (Forrester, 2023). Automated portals improve customer satisfaction and brand loyalty while scaling returns processing for high-volume ecommerce operations.
How do you create a customer-friendly returns policy?
A strong returns policy is transparent, mobile-friendly, and easy to access. It clearly states timeframes, eligibility, and refund or exchange options. Including prepaid labels, drop-off options, and self-service portals builds trust, reduces support calls, and strengthens your brand’s reputation in competitive ecommerce markets.
