The warehouse plays a crucial role in the returns and claims process. That's why we're introducing the Warehouse Module: a new feature designed to bring the warehouse team closer to Claimlane by letting them take actions, leave internal comments, and keep the whole process moving from their side of the operation.

Why This Matters for Your Team

The Warehouse Module brings the warehouse team closer to Claimlane by giving them more control over the returns and claims process. Here’s how it helps:

📦 What changes

Faster intake: the warehouse logs and manages returns by scanning barcodes or entering order numbers
Automatic actions based on grading: the system can trigger refunds, escalate cases, or route tickets without manual work
Better cross-team communication: internal comments and image sharing flow directly inside Claimlane, not over email
Automatic customer updates: customers are kept in the loop every time their return moves forward

How the Warehouse Module Works

Let's take a look at how our newest feature works👇

‍

Scan incoming returns

When a returned product arrives at the warehouse, the team can quickly log it by either entering the order number or scanning the barcode on the shipping label. If the product is a return-to-sender (with no existing case in Claimlane), the warehouse employee can easily create a ticket in Claimlane with just a few clicks.

After logging the product, it can be assigned, graded, or routed to the correct team for further action.

‍

Run actions based on grading

Once the warehouse team has graded the product, actions can be automatically triggered based on that grade. This helps speed up the returns process and ensures that things are handled the right way, without the need for manual intervention.

For example:

A

Grade A — perfect condition

Product is in perfect condition. The system automatically triggers a refund and closes the loop with the customer.

D

Grade D — damaged

Product is damaged. The case is routed to customer service with full warehouse context and photos attached for a decision.

These actions can be customised to match your specific process, so you can stay on top of returns without adding extra layers of approval. This is also where better inventory and warehouse accuracy quietly pays off: the more structured your grading data, the fewer surprises at month-end.

Keep your customers in the loop, even when it hits the warehouse

Set up automatic status emails that give customers real-time updates on their parcel once it lands at the warehouse. This increases visibility for your customers, builds trust, and stops the inbound "where is my return?" tickets before they happen.

Better communication across teams

With the Warehouse Module, the warehouse can leave internal comments and attach images directly to tickets. These updates are instantly visible to the customer service team inside the ticket, so everyone is looking at the same information in the same place. No more "can you resend the photo" emails.
