Discover how parcelLab AI Agents improve customer support and build loyalty. --- AGENTIC AI FOR POST-PURCHASE # Retail post-purchase experience, running itself. parcelLab puts AI Agents on the post-purchase work that grows with every order: WISMO tickets, returns, journeys, reports. These retail-specific, context-aware, AI Agents operate within your guardrails, so your teams stop firefighting and start building loyalty. [See how it works](https://parcellab.com/book-a-demo-platform-tour/) parcelLab AI # Two kinds of AI Agents. One platform underneath. Autonomous Agents work in front of your customers and close the loop themselves. Assistive Agents work alongside your team via parcelLab Copilot. ![AI Slide (5)](https://parcellab.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/09/AI-Slide-5.png) Autonomous AI Assistive AI ## Three reasons our AI Agents actually work. An AI Agent is only as good as what it can reach, what it knows, and what it is allowed to do. We built all three, in that order, over a decade. [ ### Infrastructure: Plug in, don’t build We built API-first years before AI Agents existed. Every surface is callable: journeys, messages, portals, returns rules, carrier mappings. AI Agents reach all of them through APIs with no custom integration to build. ](https://parcellab.com/run-targeted-campaigns/) [ ### Data & Intelligence: Act on real shipment data Our models learn from billions of real shipment events across 450+ carriers, so the platform can tell which order is about to trigger a WISMO ticket, which carrier is quietly missing its promise date, and which return is better served by an exchange than a refund. ](https://parcellab.com/reduce-wismo-wismr/) [ ### Agent framework: Keep humans in charge Every agent works to a scope you set, states what it will touch, and acts only on what you approve. New journeys arrive as drafts. Every action is logged. The same framework runs both Autonomous and Assistive AI agents. ](https://parcellab.com/create-personalized-journeys/) Autonomous AI ## AI Agents that resolve, not agents that reply. Two AI Agents work directly with your customers, on the highest-volume conversations in retail. They run from start to finish and hand over only when a human is genuinely required to add value. Available now ### WISMO/R Agent Autonomous inquiry resolution Resolves order, delivery, return and refund inquiries, on the channels the customers choose, in your brand voice. Before answering, it calls the live order record, the carrier’s event feed, your delivery promise and your return policy. It escalates only when a human is needed. - End-to-end WISMO and WISMR resolution. - Live carrier data behind every answer. - Escalation with full context. - Works across email and chat. [Learn more](https://parcellab.com/wismo-agent/) Available now ### Returns Agent Autonomous cross-channel returns Customers complete a return by talking to it, on chat, email, WhatsApp or your portal. It checks eligibility against your rules, offers an exchange before a refund, books the label, and keeps the customer informed about refund. - Conversational returns on every channel. - Exchange-first flows that retain revenue. - Policy, eligibility and fraud handled automatically.

Ask what’s happening and Copilot reads your live account, shares findings and what’s causing it. Asked like this Why are Royal Mail deliveries in the UK arriving earlier than promised? Real requests in this area - Trace missing checkpoints and mismatched statuses back to their source. - Compare returns portal registration volumes across multiple accounts. - Analyze late deliveries for one carrier in a single market. - Identify top returned products and the reasons. - Analyze average return transit and handover times. ### Say what you need. It gets built. New messages, journeys, audiences, filters, and much more, built from the setup you already run. Asked like this Create a delay notification for US orders with no carrier movement in 48 hours. Real requests in this area - Add failed-attempt and pick-up-ready messages. - Build an email master template for a new market. - Duplicate a journey and message flow for a newly added brand. - Clone a returns portal for a new country rollout. - Launch a campaign with a post-delivery feedback survey. ### Change the rules without hunting for them. The settings changes that used to mean tracing dependencies across your whole account. Asked like this Extend the return window to 31 January for orders placed in November and December. Real requests in this area - Configure different return windows by market. - Restrict return-carrier options by destination country. - Prevent a non-returnable product from receiving a return label. - Add a return reason that requires a photo proof. - Route returned items to the correct warehouse by item type. ### It shows you what could work better. Copilot checks your setup against what performs, points to where the gains are, and makes the change. Asked like this Our Delivered email gets great open rates but barely any clicks. What could we be doing better? Real requests in this area - Publish a finalized message version in every language at once. - Remove a content block from every email template in an account. - Update all messages to a formal tone of voice. - Audit post-purchase emails for stronger CTAs and product recommendations. - Compare shops by open and click rates, then recommend template fixes. ### Find the cause, then fix it. Copilot traces the problem back through your setup and prepares the exact change. Asked like this Return labels are not generating for customers in Austria. Find out why and fix the setup. Real requests in this area - Diagnose why a return reason will not show for a specific order. - Fix a tracking page with an incorrect URL or contact details - Rotate carrier credentials before labels start failing. - Find shipments with no carrier update in 24 hours - Reconcile orders whose status does not match the carrier’s. One Copilot for the full job, from understanding what is happening to doing something about it. ## Four outcome domains. One platform.

With Copilot, I created three emails, which took me literally about 10 minutes to do… I feel like that’s something that would take a marketing team probably like a week. It just empowers me more.” ![](https://parcellab.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/09/Caraway-customer-pic-1.webp) Nancy Gurd, Director CX Caraway Home “One of the use cases that I used Copilot for was to look at all the different couriers that we currently have in motion and understand which ones are performing well, which ones might be getting more exception rates. Normally, that would take me about two to three hours just to get the data sets and manipulate it together. But with Copilot, I was able to just prompt it and put it all in one easy place to read and understand and have almost a conversation with it.” ![](https://parcellab.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/09/Caraway-customer-pic-2.webp) Ashley H., Senior CX Manager Caraway Home “I’m already using Copilot to create new flows. I’m using it to help prepare for Q4… Being able to identify what right now is at a more reasonable volume and what those smaller gaps are, I can fill them before we see them really peak at scale come Q4… Instead of waiting for the fire to happen, I can already create messaging. And that’s what I’m really excited for.” ![](https://parcellab.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/09/Nathan-James-customer.webp) Taylor Johnson, Director of CX Nathan James “Being able to utilise Copilot to essentially set that kind of thing up in a day — what would normally have taken a week or more — is game-changing… I can probably get it done so much quicker, which is great because it frees up my time.” ![](https://parcellab.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/09/Jaxxon-customer-pic.webp) Caela Castillo, Director of CX JAXXON “It can edit things for you. It’s creating new things. But it gives you the power to say yes or no… It’s putting things into draft mode… We have so many ideas, but here, if you just take the time to go through those steps in Copilot, it already creates something for you that I can decide if I want to do now or if I need to get anyone else’s approval.” ## Already a parcelLab customer?

Assistive AI enhances how your teams work inside the platform: faster configuration, smarter decisions, better content, with humans in control. You reach it through Copilot. Autonomous AI executes structured workflows autonomously on behalf of the retailer or shopper, within defined guardrails. Can parcelLab AI integrate with our existing AI stack, for example Salesforce Agentforce or Zendesk AI? Yes. parcelLab supports MCP natively, allowing external AI agents to discover and call parcelLab’s post-purchase tools, including WISMO resolution, returns and claims workflows, without custom integration builds. You keep your front-end AI strategy. parcelLab becomes the post-purchase intelligence layer inside it. How do AI-powered predictive capabilities help reduce WISMO inquiries? parcelLab’s predictive capabilities analyze historical and real-time data to predict delivery timelines and delays before they happen. Retailers keep customers informed proactively, reducing support tickets and improving the delivery experience. How does parcelLab AI integrate with eCommerce and fulfilment systems? parcelLab integrates with major eCommerce platforms including Shopify, Magento and SAP, as well as customer service tools like Salesforce, Zendesk and Gorgias. AI-ready APIs expose real-time order, tracking and returns data in structured formats optimised for agent reasoning, not just human interfaces. #### Supercharge your post-purchase with AI [Book a demo](https://parcellab.com/book-a-demo-platform-tour/) [Take a tour](https://parcellab.com/take-a-tour/)
