DTC Return Reason Categorizer

Replaces a $35k Customer Service Analyst by auto-categorizing returns and flagging product defects.

The Problem

DTC brands manually sort through hundreds of return requests each week, reading customer notes to categorize reasons (fit, defect, wrong item, etc.) and flag systemic issues. This manual work delays refunds, hides product problems, and costs $35k+ annually in labor. Operations teams never get clear visibility into which SKUs are problematic.

The Outcome

Reads incoming return requests from email or support ticketing system, automatically categorizes each return reason (size/fit, quality defect, damage, wrong item, changed mind), extracts the SKU, and generates a daily ops report highlighting products with abnormal return rates. Flags repeat defects so product and fulfillment teams can act fast.
