Use cases
FAQ
How does the agent know if a return is eligible?
The agent applies your custom return policy rules: it checks purchase date against return windows, verifies the order exists in your system, cross-references product category policies, and flags exceptions for manual review when conditions fall outside defined parameters.
Can it integrate with multiple shipping carriers?
Yes. ifolabs builds carrier connectors for your shipping providers—FedEx, UPS, DHL, regional carriers—so the agent automatically selects the right carrier based on your rules and generates valid labels and tracking data for each.
What happens when the return arrives at your warehouse?
The agent monitors tracking updates and inbound scans. When a return is received, it triggers inventory count adjustments and can flag items for QA inspection or restocking, depending on your receiving workflows and product condition settings.
How long does implementation take?
Typically 2–4 weeks. Timeline depends on the number of integrations needed, return policy complexity, and your team's availability for documentation. ifolabs manages the full build and production deployment.
