Why are retailers switching to parcelLab over Loop?
Control over complex scenarios
parcelLab’s returns management solution allows brands to design tailored return experiences and handle complex return situations. This means that retailers can handle warranty exchanges, bundles that need to be split, uneven exchanges, and mixed-policy orders (partial credit, partial refund) with ease. Loop appears to fall short when it comes to going beyond basic returns scenarios.
Seamless exchange processes
parcelLab empowers retailers to take control of their customers’ end-to-end returns journey. The returns portal can be configured to promote revenue recovery instead of only offering a refund. Customers can easily exchange items through a portal that is understandable, and they will be proactively updated throughout the entire process.
Beyond returns: the complete post-purchase platform
While Loop mainly focuses on returns, parcelLab provides an end-to-end solution for shipping, delivery, and returns. This means retailers can provide a cohesive and personalized experience from start to finish. With our platform, retailers have significantly reduced WISMO and WISMR inquiries and increased revenue.
International carrier integrations
parcelLab’s platform is designed for cross-border complexity. Between our integrations with 550+ carriers and our experience with numerous global retailers, we understand that post-purchase and returns journeys are not one-size-fits-all. Our platform seamlessly fits within retailers’ tech stacks and is flexible enough to be configured to meet the needs of a global business.
Support and data accessibility
Some brands experience difficulties with unresponsive support and data export limitations with Loop. parcelLab ensures dedicated customer success managers, proactive guidance, and seamless data accessibility, empowering brands with the insights needed to improve efficiency.
