The nightmare in every promotion: fraudulent returns
You've got a great promotion rolled out to the market; sales are doing well, and then comes the nightmare of fraudulent returns rolling in to deflate all the hard work. What was for many decades in retail just tossed aside as an inevitable percentage against the bottom line, a/k/a losses, is now being dealt with aggressively by promotion software published a growing number of software developers.
The need is obvious when considering that in some retail segments, returns account for up to 40% of total transactions, and the National Retail Federation reports that customer-friendly returns policies have created widespread opportunities for return fraud, costing retailers billions of dollars per year (losses in 2009 were $9.6 billion). Mark Brunelli, News Editor at PointofSale.com notes that software makers have entered the promotions software business with a new add-on: Retail Returns Management, which is expected to help reign in the problem of fraudulent returns.
