Every claim meant emails, spreadsheets and shipping products back

Mads Nørgaard Copenhagen designs clothing for women, men and kids, from its signature striped tees to knitwear and outerwear, sold through its own stores, webshop and retail partners in several countries.

The challenge for Mads Nørgaard Copenhagen, like any other fashion brand, was handling claims without creating friction. The process was time-consuming: emails, Excel sheets, and products that had to be shipped back and forth for inspection.

It was costly in three different ways at once:

  • Time
    ‍
    Agents spent hours chasing emails, filling spreadsheets, and coordinating shipments per claim.
  • Money
    ‍
    Return shipping costs on faulty products, often from retailers across multiple countries.
  • Environment
    ‍
    Every return shipment added carbon emissions for products that often couldn't be resold anyway.

Better documentation. Less handling. Fewer products shipped back.

Mads Nørgaard wanted to digitise the claim handling process and automate the complaint workflow so both the brand and their retail partners spent less time on every case. Beyond speed, they wanted better data quality, specifically, documentation thorough enough that faulty products wouldn't need to be shipped back for inspection at all. The goal was concrete: cut the environmental impact of claims while keeping the customer experience they were known for.

"It has never been easier to handle claims. We save both time and money by not having to call back faulty products from our retailers, which is also better for the environment. Now, we can judge a claim just from a picture."
