How Mads Nørgaard Strengthened Their Customer Satisfaction

Founded in 1986, Mads Nørgaard Copenhagen is today recognized as a Copenhagen fashion icon and sold in stores worldwide. The brand is driven by providing timeless quality clothes and excellent customer experiences. One of their principles for customer service is treating people with kindness and taking care of every customer and store. The same is true for faulty products – they want to optimize the claim handling experience to provide an excellent customer experience that makes every customer feel taken care of.

The challenge

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.

The goal

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.
