Purple Squirrel Partners combines their strategic services with Newmine’s Chief Return Officer® to address retail’s $1 trillion product returns challenge.
SOUTHBOROGH, MA – April 11, 2023 – Ninety-one percent of retailers are experiencing an increase in returns, yet only 19% have a strategic returns program, according to Incisiv. These findings demonstrate that most retailers are ill-equipped to deal with the growing issue of returns at the exact moment when the current economic outlook is forcing retailers to protect revenue and contain costs.
Newmine and Purple Squirrel Partners (PSP) are turning the return equation on its head by combining PSP’s services with Newmine’s Chief Returns Officer® to provide retailers with a strategic returns reduction program. This partnership provides retailers with an accelerated service by combining PSP’s experienced returns advisors with Newmine’s AI solution, which identifies anomalies and recommends correctable actions to prevent returns, improve profitability and build customer loyalty. “Many companies don’t have the tools or know where to start when it comes to preventing returns,” said Navjit Bhasin, Founder & CEO of Newmine. “Purple Squirrel Partners has extensive knowledge and expertise in this area, so we’re pleased to work with them.”
“Retailers tend to deploy tools that address just the logistics issues surrounding merchandise returns, which does not reduce the volume or expose the root causes of the problem. Newmine changes the game, providing actionable insights that resolve issues upstream to lower the return rate and deliver significant ROI,” said Tony Arona, Managing Partner of Purple Squirrel Partners.
Newmine’s Chief Returns Officer is an AI-driven SaaS solution that allows retailers and consumer brands to think differently about returns. While most solutions focus on easing the returns process, Newmine determines the reasons for those returns, in season, in time to take corrective action and prevent them from happening in the first place.
As a reseller of Newmine, Purple Squirrel Partners delivers personalized service and deep expertise to ensure retailers get the best return from Newmine’s technology. Their innovative services provide turnkey solutions, from strategy through adoption, and replace the cost of inexperience, thus alleviating demand on a retailer’s workforce.
