Video Evidence for Returns Processing
Capture the return authorisation (RA) number, then record every returned item being unpacked and quality-checked - video proof of condition, quantity and completeness before you refund, restock, or reject a return.
The challenge
Processing returns without visibility into what actually comes back leaves you exposed. Customers may return the wrong item, a damaged item, an incomplete set, or nothing at all - and without evidence, your team has to take their word for it. Manually cross-checking RA numbers against physical contents is slow, error-prone, and leaves no record if a return is disputed later.
How PackVision helps
PackVision links video recording to barcode scanning at your returns desk. Scan the RA/return-authorisation barcode to start the session, then record every item as it's unpacked, inspected and quality-checked. Scan each returned item to log exactly what came back and in what quantity, alongside the video proving its condition - searchable later by RA number, order number, or item barcode.
Key benefits
How it works for this use case
Scan the RA number to start recording
Set up a Custom Barcode Category (e.g. "Returns Label") to recognise RA-prefixed barcodes automatically, so scanning the return authorisation label links the whole inspection to that RA number from the first frame.
Unpack and inspect on camera
Every returned item is unboxed in view of the camera as staff check it for damage, missing parts, or signs it doesn't match what the customer described.
Scan each item to log condition and quantity
Scan each returned item's barcode as it's checked, building an itemised record of exactly what came back and how many - alongside the video proving its condition.
Search and resolve with evidence
Whenever a return is queried, refunded, or disputed, search by RA number, order number, or barcode and pull up the exact inspection footage in seconds.
