Web-Based RMA System | Features and Benefits

General RMA System features & Benefits

  • Fully customize ANY TEXT on your front-end or customer-facing RMA System. Since every industry has a unique set of common terminologies then presenting your customers with the right terms will help facilitate a more effective customer support.
  • Responsive web design (RWD) - Customer facing user interface is designed for optimal viewing experience across all devices including smart phones, tablets and modern desktops. Individual customers that have single item returns usually prefer to use their mobile phones. Your B2B customers or power users usually still prefer desktop or a laptop as they tend to send multiple requests with multiple items in each request. Our system automatically renders into the most optimal view depending on your customer's device.
  • Translate ANY TEXT on your front-end or customer-facing RMA System to any language that conforms to ISO/IEC 8859-1. But this is not enough... because we want to give you the most flexibility.
  • **New Feature** Translate ANY TEXT on your front-end or customer-facing RMA System to ANY LANGUAGE based on Unicode. Unicode covers all of the languages that can be written in the following scripts: Latin, Greek, Cyrillic, Armenian, Hebrew, Arabic, Syriac, Thaana, Devanagari, Bengali, Gurmukhi, Oriya, Tamil, Telugu, Kannada, Malayalam, Sinhala, Thai, Lao, Tibetan, Myanmar, Georgian, Hangul, Ethiopic, Cherokee, Canadian Aboriginal Syllabics, Khmer, Mongolian, Han (Japanese, Chinese, Korean ideographs), Hiragana, Katakana, and Yi.

    When enabled, your customers will see a dropdown list of the different language versions of your portal and they can choose which version they understand well.

    Make your returns-portal site support your international customers!

  • Custom name for your own personalized RMA System. Supports custom sub-domain name or full domain name.
  • No need to download and/or install programs to your computer. All data and processes are hosted online in a service "cloud". Vendors and customer can access RMA status anytime of the day.
  • Multiple users or Customer Service Rep (CSR) accounts. Each account having its own login and password. Different customers can be assigned to designated CSRs which enhances control and accountability.
    In addition, emails to customers that are triggered from the system can be made as sent by the Account Rep; hence, any email replies from the customer will go directly to that account representative. You can also configure the system to have the account rep receive all claims and returns that are requested by the accounts that are assigned to him/her. This way, your account rep can offer a more personalized service to each of their assigned clients.
  • Designed for any type of vendors - Manufacturers, Distributors, Suppliers. Whether your company is a startup, or a huge publicly traded company - we can support your needs.
  • Business To Business (B2B) Returns Processing. Getting claims request and returns request from wholesalers? We have rich functionalities for B2B relationships.

  • Configurable via administration link. Control your settings from a robust backend system infrasctructure.
  • Support for Single, or Multiple items per or RMA Case

  • Automatic email notifications for customers when new updates to their RMA Case are available.

  • Generate RMA Number barcode. You can have the system automatically generate a number, or you can specify a manual RMA Case ID or Number if you need to be flexible.
  • Automated Internal Notifications for multi-department messaging eliminates manually emailing your coworkers for case status updates. Customer support is made great not just by the Customer Care and Repair teams. Other departments can receive alerts when a case is escalated to specific status that need to be aware of so that they can act/prepare accordingly. No need to do a manual notification between departments.
  • Automatic Warranty Check Validation gives your full control on what passes thru the RMA request process.
  • Product Serial Number validator streamlines your returns-validation process so that only products with valid serial numbers under warranty are handled correctly.
  • Complete online customer assistance from creating an account, submitting inquiries, password recovery, case status check and case follow-up.
  • Customers can print pre-formatted packaging label and RMA form/Packing Slip before shipping their items.
  • Ability for customer services reps (CSR) to create an RMA case on behalf of the customer. You want to keep getting those big orders from your high-value customers? Great! You can continue to give special attention to those High-Value customers of yours by doing the returns filing for them. They'll receive confirmations of the transactions, and then spend their time on placing more orders -- not requesting returns.
  • Vendors do not need a staff with programming experience. All controls and operations are web-driven. We also have dedicated user-guides or operating manuals for specific users, especially the Customer Service Reps.

A common issue with using a service provider is that your notification emails can be marked as "spam" with B2B customers who have strict email infrastructure protocols. With our system, you will have the ability to specify your own SMTP email server so that your emails are always inherently fully trustworthy.
  • Optional RESTful Web-APIs are available for developers
