The rates of returns and the expectations for free returns are increasing. In fact, 67% of online customers expect free returns, and customers send back up to 50% of what they buy online when they only return 10% of what they buy in stores. If your business isn’t equipped to provide free returns and meet customer return rates, those customers could grow dissatisfied with your business and you could suffer from consequences such as lower sales, higher inventory, and lower profitability. To meet these demands, businesses are turning to smarter technology solutions that enhance order fulfillment and inventory tracking to boost the return process.
