How BabySam Provides a Claim Experience That Exceeds Expectations
A dissatisfied mom will also take 10 of her closest friends with her if she leaves your business because of a negative experience.
Why faulty product claims & returns drained BabySam’s business
Product warranty claims have always been a pain for most retailers. One major challenge is having to keep track of different claim guidelines and individual supplier procedures that needs to be adhered to, causing the process to be very time-consuming.
Over the past few years, the market has significantly changed with customers demanding convenience. Digitalization has made the customer journey more complex than ever before, causing the current claim handling process to be outdated due to the manual workflows and procedures.
As the business was expanding, BabySam realized that its current claim handling process was not sufficiently scalable and, therefore, desperately needed to streamline the process to continue being able to deliver the best possible customer service, especially during this fragile moment of the customer journey.
"A dissatisfied mom will also take 10 of her closest friends with her if she leaves your business because of a negative experience."
- Kenneth Nørgaard, CEO, BabySam
With 29 physical stores and a growing online business, managing warranty claims was becoming increasingly difficult for Davidsen. Three challenges in particular were slowing down the process:
- 29 stores and a growing online business: Difficult to keep track of warranty claims and maintain a clear overview across channels.
- Hundreds of supplier guidelines: Store staff had to navigate different brand-specific rules to know how to handle each claim.
- 4 full-time employees tied up in manual work: Managing claims through B2B systems was time-consuming, with poor documentation and unnecessary back-and-forth.
As a result, claims were poorly documented, customers were sometimes forgotten, and everyone involved was spending more time than needed, which was slowly draining the business.
