Complex Eligibility Requirements
parcelLab Team
October 24
Any software solution, especially those requiring systems-of-record information, inevitably becomes a heavy lift for IT teams. A much-needed solution then becomes time-consuming and burdensome.
Friction
Lack of Internal Resources
Most IT teams are dealing with competing resources on existing projects and many post-purchase experience solutions do not offer multiple integration options. Instead, it could take as much as five months for simple tracking and communication options on a post-purchase order page which leads to a frustrating implementation experience.
Friction
Inconsistent Access to Carrier Data
Carrier access interfaces are not all equal. Without access to the best carrier interface (typically a private interface), existing solutions may not access important data such as personal information like the name of a neighbor, location of a safe place, and collection codes for pick-up locations – all critical for providing an optimal customer experience.
Friction
Data Retrieval Solution Isn't Scalable
If a vendor’s data retrieval solution is not scalable with shipping volumes, this creates unforeseen problems, such as delayed event transfer, long API processing times, failed requests, and creates system downtime. Even if the initial access gets established, most solutions will abandon your brand without offering continuous monitoring which then leads to a poor customer experience and increased WISMO/R inquiries.

Case Study: Specialty Women’s Apparel Retailer
With an annual global revenue of over $2 billion, this brand is experiencing the benefits of lightweight tactical integrations.
Then
Experiencing a Time Crunch
This retailer had a deadline to switch from their post-purchase provider to parcelLab. They had a very busy roadmap with limited developmental resources. With one open sprint window to manage development, they had sufficient time for testing but no further wiggle room.
Now
Multiple Lightweight Options
parcelLab implemented their entire return portal and communications within one of the retailer’s 2-week sprint cycles. Our team leveraged a smart replacement API endpoint and managed all data transformation to reduce the effort required from the retailer. Additionally, this included an integration with their warehouse, enabling this brand to send 10% more emails, such as warehouse alerts, which reduced WISMO inquiries.

Overhauling Integrations
Granular monitoring from event timestamp to availability in parcelLab’s system enabled this supermarket retailer’s carrier team to focus on overhauling integrations based on clear priorities. Over the course of 3 months, parcelLab reduced the average delay from 3 hours to 30 minutes.

Unforeseen Challenges
This outdoor recreational products retailer was previously using a vendor who hadn’t implemented some of their carriers for the returns process at any stage due to unforeseen challenges. By switching to parcelLab, this retailer now has access to full service integration and monitoring, meaning they have access to all their carriers and can provide a better customer experience for their global customers.
