Analytics has no value

without action

Up to 60% returned

£221 billion preventable retail returns*

& returns are growing faster than sales

*Returns cost retailers £435billion globally, with £221billion deemed preventable. IHL Group, Retail Analysts, June 2015

Can’t be resold as new

Faulty?

Clear Returns SaaS intelligence platform helps retailers retain £1million extra revenue per £10million refunded

Because once returns are factored in, not all customers are equally loyal or profitable & not all product covers its costs
