How It Works

Four steps. Zero staff. Every return verified at intake.

01

Scan

Customer scans their return authorization QR code at the kiosk — no staff required.

02

Place

Item is placed into the controlled intake chamber. The door closes and verification begins.

03

Verify

RetAI uses weight, imaging, and rules to confirm item identity and condition in seconds.

04

Route

Return is confirmed, refund triggered, and item routed to restock, resale, or recycle.

The Missing Layer

Retailers process millions of returns every year. Almost none are verified at the point of handoff. RetAI changes that.

$101B in fraud

Verified at Intake

RetAI confirms item identity and condition the moment it enters the chamber — before any refund is issued. No more empty boxes, worn items, or SKU swaps.

$29 avg per return

No Staff Needed

The entire return process is automated. Customers self-serve in under 60 seconds. Staff are freed from the service desk entirely.

Data Retailers Can't Get Today

Every return becomes a structured data event — what came back, in what condition, from whom. That data drives smarter inventory, routing, and recovery decisions.
