Loop Returns vs. Narvar

I highly recommend Loop Returns to anyone who is looking for a new returns platform. Their solution is fantastic and the service they provide is top notch. However, budget may be a concern for some businesses as they are more expensive than other solutions. I feel they largely justify the cost increase with their support, but not all companies will feel this way.

If you're not on a platform that has a branded post-purchase landing page or in-email estimated delivery date script, Narvar provides this experience. It's a nice-to-have for any brand that wants to provide a seamless, branded shopping experience for their customers. Narvar's grown rapidly and it seems they are increasing costs, which may be prohibitive and hard to justify for smaller companies.

• Narvar offered us a turn-key solution that we had up and running in less than a month.
• Narvar offered several out of the box widgets (solutions) to help build/customize content (calendar view, milestone icons, SMS messaging and personalize content based on items purchased).
• Narvar's solution is scalable/expandable to include returns (once we are ready).

• Benchmarks by industry could be improved
• Shop Now recommendations could be smarter
• Price could be a bit lower

Incentivized

• Pricing is much more expensive than competitors.
• UI Design is often lacking.

Once it's set up, it doesn't require much support. We used to have quarterly or bi-annual touch bases with an account person to review our rating and customer usage but haven't heard from them in a while - either because we're too small or they got rid of this interaction. Can't say we miss it though because we can see our rating and feedback, and there is only so much you can do within the confines of the platform without adding on new functionality.

Loop Returns had a better core feature set than Returnly, which is why we selected them - though Loop Returns has since acquired Returnly, so this point is more or less moot.

At the time, Narvar had no other competitors to my knowledge. We looked at building this functionality in house which had a 3 month estimate. Everyone involved happily welcomed the tool.

• Retained revenue exceeds costs every year
• Support team reduces stress on our team to ensure process is working

• Not sure we could attribute ROI to this tool.
