Mid-sized ecommerce operations typically spend 20+ hours per week manually processing refunds, leading to:
High labour costs and inefficient resource allocation
Human errors in refund calculations and data entry
Delayed processing during peak periods causing customer frustration
Inconsistent application of refund policies and fees
Limited visibility into refund status and trends
Risk of fraudulent refunds without proper controls
Poor customer communication leading to increased support tickets
For a business processing 50 refunds daily, this translates to over £85,000 in annual labour costs alone, not counting the impact of errors and customer dissatisfaction.
