Background
As a key player in the DIY tools sector, Brand X is renowned for its range of home improvement tools.
The brand faced high return rates due to liberal return policies of ecommerce platforms. The brand was in a dilemma as only 2% of these returned items were defective. The invisible reasons for the return of 98% made decision making and improvements impossible.
The brand had a large number of SKUs, with multiple variants for retail and commercial customers. New models were launched very often by the brand and competitors. Also, the operations were global.
Major obstacles

Before discovering Clootrack, Brand X struggled with several issues related to customer feedback. The brand identified that the invisible reasons for returns are mentioned by customers at various touch points like return feedback, Amazon reviews, store feedback, NPS open ends and so on. Challenges arose in aggregating customer feedback across all regions from various touch points at scale. The data, even if managed to collect, was vast, noisy, and unstructured, making manual efforts and text analytics tools error-prone. Establishing a reliable and cost-effective process was difficult, complicating stakeholder buy-in for data-driven decisions.
Rewarding solution
