Relay

Post-Purchase Experience Manager

Transforms returns from cost centers into retention opportunities.

73%customer retention on returns
Deployed across 50+ brands worldwide
The Challenge

Returns cost you 3x to process what they cost the customer, and every slow or frustrating return experience permanently loses lifetime value.

Manual return processing takes 24–48 hours, frustrating customers who expect instant resolution

Policy inconsistency across agents creates refund leakage and customer complaints

Exchange opportunities are missed because agents default to refunds under volume pressure

The Solution

What Relay Does

Relay transforms your post-purchase experience from a cost center into a retention opportunity. By processing returns instantly and offering intelligent exchange suggestions, Relay reduces refund rates and increases customer lifetime value.

Instant Policy Enforcement

Validates every return request against your exact policy rules — eligibility windows, condition requirements, and exception handling — with zero deviation.

Smart Exchange Suggestions

Recommends exchanges, store credit, or alternative products based on purchase history and inventory availability before defaulting to a refund.

End-to-End Processing

Handles the full lifecycle: RMA creation, label generation, refund processing, and inventory reconciliation — all within guardrailed approval thresholds.
