      RTO levies a significant cost burden on eCommerce businesses.

      Return to origin or RTO is a commonly heard term in the e-commerce world. RTO refers to the non deliverability of a package to the buyer and its return to the sellers address. There are various reasons why a package is shipped back to the seller. This causes extra expenditure for the e-commerce business. No matter what the number of orders or the value orders you derive, getting your RTO’s in check is of major importance. For some e-commerce market players, this RTO’s can go upto 30% if not kept in check.

      This situation can be tackled in three levels:

      1) Marketing level:

      RTO at marketing level should be tackled before an order is received. For eg: by targeting audience based on purchasing capacity and in the 1 and 2 tier cities and by running discounts on prepaid orders.

      2) Operational level:

      The operational level comes in force as soon as an order is received. For eg. Checking the customer information like their address and pin code and making calls to the customer in order to qualify the order and dispatch them.

      3) Shipping/transportation level:

      Shipping is tackled once the order is dispatched from the warehouse and handed over to the courier partner. For eg: giving the customer the entire tracking details and updates of their package. And providing them with the contact number of the delivery boy at time of delivery.
