The client wanted to leverage AI and automation to streamline B2C Return Management Authorization (RMA) processes for refunds, one-way fulfilment, and Self-cycling Returns (SRR).
An RMA number is created manually in SAP and data is synched between Microsoft Dynamics (MSD) and SAP manually. There was a need to automate such manual tasks and establish collaboration between different teams.
Key Challenges
- Lack of collaboration between teams for end-to-end processes involving MS Dynamics (MSD), SAP, and Logistics
- Manual ticket creation in MS Dynamics
- Fields (such as ship-to and address) required to create RMA orders in SAP missing in MS Dynamics
- Lack of auto-synchronization of RMA orders between MSD and SAP for failure and success scenarios in SAP
- Prone to manual errors while entering data into MSD
- High turnaround time (TAT) to initiate refunds to customers due to manual data entry in SAP by RMA contact agents
