With e-commerce return rates hitting 16.5% and costing retailers up to $166 per return, choosing the right returns management software isn't just about processing—it's crucial for profitability. Here's how the leading solutions stack up.
Why traditional returns software falls short
Most businesses rely on basic return portals that weren't built for today's complex e-commerce environment. These platforms often create customer friction, lack automation capabilities, and provide limited visibility. Modern automation tools like Parabola are transforming how businesses handle returns, cutting processing time by 70% through no-code automation.
