Customer service & returns · Multi-location retail
Close every customer issue and return end to end.
A customer returns an online order to a store. The agent checks receipt and return window in a separate system; the refund never triggers.
The reality
Returns are a validation problem.
Every contact means pulling the order, checking the return window and condition policy, deciding refund versus exchange, generating the label, and then triggering the money movement in the payment system. The handoffs between the helpdesk, the OMS, and the payments tool are where cases stall and customers chase.
The operator owns the contact from intake to closure: it validates the return against policy and the original order, issues the prepaid label, and triggers the refund or exchange — then closes the case so nothing lingers in the queue.
