Put Order Changes and Returns in Customers' Hands
Digital Self-Service
Modern shoppers want to be in control throughout the buyer's journey and even after the finalized sale. Manhattan Digital Self-Service provides this desired customer experience with access to timely information so they can monitor post-purchase events and by allowing customers to change in-progress orders, initiate returns, and more. It empowers customers with post-purchase orders and returns control via laptop, tablet, or mobile device, increasing customer satisfaction while enabling retailers to save sales and reduce support costs.
Change Orders
Powered by Manhattan Active Order Management's customer-controlled fulfillment capabilities, Digital Self-Service guides customers through changing order details such as shipping address or delivery date. Customers can also cancel complete orders or individual order line items. Self-service control supports store pickup order changes, allowing customers to extend or change pickup windows and switch pickup to home delivery.
Allowing customers to change from store pickup to home delivery creates significant value for retailers. It can reduce no-show rates (and resulting lost revenue) for store pickups by offering a flexible fulfillment change option for customers at risk of being a no-show. It can protect revenue in situations when the store is out of stock and cannot fulfill a pickup order. Instead of the customer receiving a dead-end "sorry, we're out of stock" email, Manhattan Active Order Management can check network availability and send the customer an email asking if they want to "ship it instead?" to save the sale. The customer is then guided to request the change to home delivery through Digital Self-Service.
Returns and Exchanges
Customers also want self-service control over purchases post-fulfillment. With Manhattan Digital Self-Service, customers can initiate returns and exchanges digitally. For returns and exchanges, customers can determine their preferred means of return through store, carrier location, or by mail—and are guided through the steps to proceed (such as printing a return label). For exchanges, the customer is digitally supported through completing the product exchange with capabilities that allow them to select the new item, obtain any cost difference, and select the payment method for any cost difference.
